DREAM UNENDING – Certain Uncertainties

Frank Stöver — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:04:03 +0000

All I can say about this release is: be ready. Be ready to ask yourself whether the record company accidentally blended a progressive, Jazz lounge band with the latest DISMA, or whether the band took Lord knows how much acid in the rehearsal room and just played anything, literally anything that came to mind. Some […]

DEATHCULT – Cult Of The Dog

Frank Stöver — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 06:11:27 +0000

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but DEATHCULT basically being a supergroup of sorts, always flies under my radar. Partly because, yes, I have a lot on my plate music-wise, but also because the band has little to no fanfare at times upon new output. Each release, to me, is stellar but still seems […]

DISSIMULATOR – Artifice Dissolves

Frank Stöver — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 07:47:23 +0000

It’s always nice to get the unexpected good things in life. For example, putting on that pair of pants and finding an extra bit of money in a pocket you’d forgotten. A friend paying for all the drinks and more on an evening out, or perhaps also getting comp seating in that special section in […]

DUIR – Catarsi

Frank Stöver — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 06:26:17 +0000

As I am not ashamed to say it, DUIR is another band I have just discovered. Hailing from Verona, Italy, the quintet officiates a rather traditional, melodic, atmospheric Black Metal loaded with dense and extremely dark tinges of sound. The kind that roams through somber, open and gray fields. It reminds me of certain things […]

DEGENERATED – Echoes Of Infection

Frank Stöver — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 09:54:45 +0000

DEGENERATED is a Death Metal band from Italy that has been making music since the year 2000, when they released their debut demo titled “Nuclear Test: Failed”. A demo that showed a band with a dark, aggressive sound with Italian tinges. Then, in 2024, they released their debut album titled the same way as the […]

DISCOURAGED – A Farewell In Stages

Frank Stöver — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 07:11:39 +0000

The first thing I have to say is that when it comes to a genre like Doom / Death, I’m always open and willing to discover new bands, because, as I always say, anything that carries (by first or last name) the word “Doom”, will always be welcome to me. So when I heard about […]

DEATH KOMMANDER – The Great Offensive

Frank Stöver — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 06:01:48 +0000

Whether war is the father of all things, as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus believed, I do not know. But I know that war is the father of many Death Metal albums, songs and imagery. This is also the case with UK based DEATH KOMMANDER, who set out with their album “Pro Patria Mori” in 2021 […]

DGS – Delusional Grasp Of Sanity

Frank Stöver — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 07:18:52 +0000

Finland’s underground has always been a breeding ground for raw talent, but the arrival of Helsinki’s DGS brings a particularly vicious force to the surface. Though “Delusional Grasp Of Sanity” marks their debut full-length, the trio comprises seasoned veterans from collective outfits like NEUROSURGERY, ABSTRAKT, PUTRID DEFECATION, ELEGEION, FRAGILE HOLLOW, STRANGLE CHAIN, RAPTURE and DIABLERIE. […]

DELIVERANCE – The Voyager Golden Banquet

Frank Stöver — Wed, 27 May 2026 06:16:09 +0000

DELIVERANCE is a Black Metal band from France that I did not know. I had never heard them before. From what I saw, they have been active since 2013 and have an EP and three full-length albums in their history prior to this new album, “The Voyager Golden Banquet”. And well, let’s get to work: […]

DAEMONIUM REGNI – Daemonium Regni

Frank Stöver — Fri, 01 May 2026 12:54:46 +0000

Debut efforts, no doubt, are critical pieces of a band’s discography. Often the purest ideas and years of crafting them go into that first formal release; it serves as the primary presentation of the band’s creative force. It must be able to cut through the noise and land with an impact, otherwise, it will simply […]
