INTO DARKNESS – Route To The Outer Side

Frank Stöver — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 07:12:13 +0000

“Route To The Outer Side” is the name of INTO DARKNESS’ debut album, but the Italian band has existed since 2011 and released quite a few demos, EPs and splits in the meantime. From the get-go this is an interesting release being a concept album focusing on astronomy. This led me to pull up a […]

IRONFLAME – Worlds To Conquer

Frank Stöver — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 16:37:02 +0000

IRONFLAME from Ohio, USA are – or better – is around for a while, so there’s a big chance that if you follow what’s going on in the Heavy Metal underground, you already know that name, or seen it couple of times. IRONFLAME was founded in 2016, and it’s a band / project of Andrew […]

IRON SLAUGHT – Metallic Torments

Frank Stöver — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:28:46 +0000

Their name and especially their logo feel super familiar, but I think this is the first time I hear this French band. They started in 2011, released their debut album in 2015, then did a split with TENTATION (another great French band worth checking) in 2018, and now they strike back with their second full […]

Extreme Metal label maniacs over at Darkness Shall Rise Productions have been cranking out some great releases and once again they dive deep into history by taking a look at their vault for an early / mid 1990s era Black Metal in the form of two live performances by IMMORTAL. The first six tracks are […]

INANIMATE FLESH – Compilationem Morborum Exoticorum

Frank Stöver — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 11:35:04 +0000

The Costa Rican scene is one of those that never ceases to surprise due to the quality of its bands within the entire global underground. And here, I will talk about one of those bands that, with only three years since their debut, has already made clear what they came for. INANIMATE FLESH is (without […]

INFERNAL PRESENCE – Fiery Paths

Frank Stöver — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:04:10 +0000

Obscure. An obscure bass. What better way to introduce oneself to the world than with a bass that gallops towards the darkness in its opening notes. Because that is how the first track of this debut EP by the Germans INFERNAL PRESENCE, titled “Fiery Paths”, begins: with an obscure bass that grows and evolves into […]

IN AETERNUM – …Of Death And Fire

Frank Stöver — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 07:02:51 +0000

IN AETERNUM was originally founded in 1992 under the name BEHEMOTH. They didn’t release their first album until 1999 and were part of the first wave of Swedish Death / Black Metal bands that, alongside bands like DISSECTION, DAWN or MÖRK GRYNING, created a very specific form of Metal of Death. With elements from melodic […]

INFERNAL PRESENCE – Fiery Paths

Frank Stöver — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 09:29:41 +0000

This is the debut recording of this new Black / Death Metal band from Germany, and holy darkness, it does invoke the best elements of ritualistic Death Metal, with a somber atmosphere and occult essence, that only few bands are capable of creating. Ritualistic, enigmatic and certainly hypnotic at times, every song shows an aura […]

INTO DARKNESS – 2012 – 2018 Data Collection

Frank Stöver — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 11:15:44 +0000

I totally love these kinds of compilations! I really do! And when it comes to Italy’s Doom / Death Metal act INTO DARKNESS, I had even already compiled one myself, with exactly the same content and chronology, just based on shitty mp3 files that I had burned onto an even shittier CD-R copy. Luckily, that […]

INHUMAN CONDITION – Mind Trap

Frank Stöver — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 11:28:30 +0000

INHUMAN CONDITION, the brainchild of former MASSACRE members Taylor Nordberg (guitars) and Jeramie Kling (vocals, drums), alongside veteran bassist Terry Butler, are set to unleash their third album, “Mind Trap”. Following their departure from the Death Metal institution in 2020, the band named after MASSACRE’s 1992 EP, has steadily carved out its own identity, culminating […]
