GALIBOT – Catabase

Frank Stöver — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:00:03 +0000

GALIBOT from France had already caught my attention with their album “Euch’Mau Noir Bis”. Not so much for the music itself, but because of the concept, since the band hails from a coal-mining zone similar to the Ruhr area, my home region. After a brief intro, the follow-up album “Catabase” kicks off with a bang […]

GORENCEPHALIC – Gore Of The Forgotten

Time for Death Metal. GORENCEPHALIC is a Death Metal band from Brazil, formed in 2023, about which I had no idea. But this is the beauty of Metal, getting great surprises. I think I have said it before, when I see the word “Brutal” prefixed to the words “Death Metal”, I immediately enclose myself in […]

GLUTTONY – Eulogy To Blasphemy

Sweden’s Death Metal stalwarts GLUTTONY, with the support of F.D.A. Records, have released their fourth full length album titled “Eulogy To Blasphemy”. Anders Härén and company are celebrating 15 years of cranking out some old school Swedish Death Metal since 2009 and what better way than to give their fans 12 tracks of full headbanging […]

GALIBOT – Euch’Mau Noir Bis

Frank Stöver — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 07:14:31 +0000

In recent years, Black Metal has demonstrated a surprising versatility, transforming from a simple vehicle for blasphemy or misanthropy into a privileged medium for historical and documentary storytelling. If acts like ANTRISCH have managed to freeze the blood by evoking polar expeditions, and 1914 have dragged listeners into the mud of the Great War trenches, […]

GOATZIED – Ancestral Rites Of Goatzied

Frank Stöver — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 11:02:01 +0000

2025 sees the release of the latest EP by Chile’s GOATZIED, a band existing since 2012 and having three other short releases to their name. “Ancestral Rites Of Goatzied”, released on CD by Mexican label Iron, Blood And Death Corporation, offers four songs of intense no bullshit South American Death Metal. The riffage on this […]

GORLEBEN – Menetekel

Frank Stöver — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:15:47 +0000

GORLEBEN’s second album “Menetekel” was released in October 2025 by Darkness Shall Rise Productions and could be described simply as Post Metal, but this somehow feels like it isn’t doing justice to the many different aspects of their style. It seems like the band took the term literally and just tried to create music that […]

GOATH – IV: Silencing The Prophets Of Deceit

Frank Stöver — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 06:51:37 +0000

One thing I’ve figured out in my time reviewing albums and bands is that I am a bit old school, maybe a bit too much so. Yeah, that’s just a nice way to say I’m old. With age comes wisdom (I would like to think), but also a hell of a lot of Metal knowledge. […]

GRAVERED – Classic Cult To Death

Frank Stöver — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 09:12:21 +0000

GRAVERED hails from the city of Santiago, Chile. If you have been following the underground, it is undeniable that this country has been thriving with a bunch of great new (and old) bands in the last 10 years or so. I would definitely put GRAVERED in that list of amazing new bands. Formed in 2013, […]

GUTS – Nightmare Fuel

Frank Stöver — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 06:24:44 +0000

GUTS, formed in 2020, hails from Finland and two years after their debut album, they hit the underground with their sophomore full-length “Nightmare Fuel”. And let me tell you something: this is Death Metal; absolutely crushing and heavy as a ton of bricks. GUTS never reaches blast beat levels. They dwell in slow to mid […]

GRUESOME – Silent Echoes

Frank Stöver — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 07:41:24 +0000

So here this is it. The record from GRUESOME, which aims to follow “Human”, the masterpiece, the legendary DEATH recorded in 1991. And it’s also the album that confronted drummer Gus Ríos with the enormous challenge of having to rework the drum-work of his own mentor Sean Reinert, who sadly passed away in January 2020. […]
