MØRKGRIM – Sogur Frá Norðfirði

Frank Stöver — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:12:12 +0000

Conceived ideologically back in 1994 by Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Hrafngrímnir, MØRKGRIM has finally achieved realization in the form of their first album. “Sǫgur Frá Norðfirði” was a product of Hrafngrímnir’s self-induced isolation on a remote Norwegian farm, devoid of common commodities. Within roughly 38 minutes of music are nine songs that blend deeply intense and detailed […]

MACE’N’CHAIN – Crowned In Grey Skies

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

It is no surprise. Whenever a Heavy Metal band comes from the oracle No Remorse Records, you know it is a top-level band. And MACE’N’CHAIN is not the exception. This band, which emerged from the bowels of the Viking lands of Skellefteå, Sweden, in 2020, came with a clear conviction: to worship Epic Heavy Metal. […]

MIASMES – Violence, Blasphème Et Pourriture

Frank Stöver — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 16:56:03 +0000

Normally, when it comes to Black Metal, I look for certain “parameters”, like the band sounding dark, dense, atmospheric. They are pillars that for me structure Black Metal. But, we must remember that much of where Black Metal comes from, was born in the same caves where Punk was born. And of course, interconnecting the […]

MOTÖRHEAD – Kiss Of Death – 20th Anniversary Edition

Frank Stöver — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:23:37 +0000

Consider this: the debate over whether “Kiss Of Death” or its predecessor, “Inferno”, was the better MOTÖRHEAD album has been going on for twenty years now… The band’s eighteenth studio album is also the second to be recorded in Los Angeles under the direction of producer Cameron Webb. “Kiss Of Death” gets off from a […]

MOROS – Cemetery Hallucinations

Frank Stöver — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 07:55:22 +0000

Formed in 2015 and based in Philadelphia (USA), this power trio consisting of J.H. (bass, vocals), J.D. (guitars, vocals) and Mike Howard (drums) play a mix of Doom Metal and Sludge with some Death Metal influences. Only one word came to my head after the first spin of “Cemetery Hallucinations” , their second album: heavy. […]

MORBOSATAN – Morbo, Coca, Satán

Frank Stöver — Thu, 07 May 2026 07:44:55 +0000

It is a bestial and filthy piece of Deathrash Metal from Peruvian Hell. The songs are fast and short, mostly between three or four minutes and some are in mid tempo. The vocals are mostly in Spanish, but some are in English too. They recruited a new vocalist on this album, who is Alexander Nunsfucker, […]

MIDNATT – Skräckfylld Förtjusning

Frank Stöver — Sat, 02 May 2026 12:31:43 +0000

It is nice to hear BLUE ÖYSTER CULT and ROKY ERICKSON have been around with cause and effect. Well, I’ve been listening intensely to the music throughout many more years, than I can count – and it seems like the Swedes in the young band MIDNATT, also have taken their toll on good old occult […]

MAHLKEBRE – B.A.M.N.

Frank Stöver — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 07:24:20 +0000

Twenty-two years and now ready with the third full length. The French ritualistic Black Metal band MAHLKEBRE do uses its time to pen new rituals and summon dark obscurities. The band is led by Eklezjas’Tik Berzerk, who also owns the label Battlesk’rs Productions, that release the gospels. He does also handle the output of MALEKHAMOVES, […]

MEGA COLOSSUS – Watch Out!

Frank Stöver — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 06:23:43 +0000

I must admit, sometimes I just pick up bands with names that sound like I could like their music. And a name like MEGA COLOSSUS is certainly an extremely interesting one, since it hinted at something monolithic, delivers music of enormous power and staggering heavy to epic proportions. With that in mind I found that […]

MONSTROSITY – Screams From Beneath The Surface

Frank Stöver — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 07:40:53 +0000

Hum… Let’s see… I don’t know where to start… Could a simple mortal like me say something about MONSTROSITY that hasn’t been said already? I don’t think so. I feel that anything I say already rests in the annals of the band’s history. So I don’t have much to contribute really, except that they have […]
