NunSlaughter 'Devils Congeries Vol.I' review

2015-09-21T22:24:00.000+03:00

NUNSLAUGHTER Devils Congeries Vol. I Hells Headbangers By now everybody and his dog should know what NunSlaughter stands for – death metal, cooked in Satan's very own kitchen, using the right ingredients from the glorious '80s. Timeless, not outdated ingredients, mind you. Apparently this 58-song double CD here is first in a Herculean task of offering all vinyl EPs ever released by

ORDER FROM CHAOS set release date for long-awaited NUCLEAR WAR NOW! discography boxset

2014-10-10T19:07:00.000+03:00

Nuclear War Now! Productions sets November 25th as the international release date for Order From Chaos' long-awaited Frozen in Steel vinyl-discography boxset. It is a nearly axiomatic principle that the most truly important artists tend to be overlooked or at least do not obtain the full extent of their deserved accolades during the time they

Abigor 'Supreme And Immortal Is The Art Of The Devil' review

2013-12-11T08:37:00.002+02:00

ABIGOR Supreme And Immortal Is The Art Of The Devil EP Avantgarde Music Press releases can be little funny bastards, more often than not. Case in point: Avantgarde's Abigor one. No matter what words you would want to use, it's crystal clear those 2 songs are remnants of a failed project from 1997, and all possible 2013 tweaking, re-mixing and newly recorded vocal lines couldn't help

Funest 'Demo 2013' review

2013-12-10T23:39:00.000+02:00

FUNEST Demo 2013 Unholy Domain Records / Eternal Tombs Records Let me assure you there's no shortage of bands and labels firing digital promos my way, and often I'm in shudders when the time comes for the weekly ritual of downloading files and unzipping folders. In shudders, because some of those promos are total duds I don't have much / any use of – and for some reason big

Shitfucker 'Suck Cocks In Hell' review

2013-12-10T23:26:00.000+02:00

SHITFUCKER Suck Cocks In Hell Hells Headbangers Hells Headbangers is one of the pillars of the scene and I'm digging the hell of most of their releases, but Shitfucker stand out as a sore thumb. A sinister mutant offspring of Venom and GG Allin this is not, if that was the intention. What it is, however, is an anti-elaborated mixture of simplistic primitive metal, raw and sloppy punk

Possession 'His Best Deceit' review

2013-12-10T23:13:00.000+02:00

POSSESSION His Best Deceit Invictus Productions The Belgian scene has never been considered a cult one, sure, yet the last ten years or so could be considered a particular low point in its development, with only Monads being the band worth talking about. Particularly I was quite thrilled reading the following news brought by the nuclear November rain: “The Association For Primitive

Incantation 'Mortal Throne Of Nazarene' review

2013-12-10T21:43:00.000+02:00

INCANTATION Mortal Throne Of Nazarene Hells Headbangers Each and every intie I've read with Jon McEntee is characterized by couple of things, namely his undying and unquestionable passion for producing and consuming death fuckin' metal and his devotion to the main band he's playing with, Incantation. Incantation, the beast he had started in 1989 alongside another visionary, Paul Ledney,

Acid Death 'Misled' review

2013-08-01T21:36:00.001+03:00

ACID DEATH ‘Misled’ (Free download) To hell with the cynicism – I’m really glad to report Acid Death is back. Not only that, but the band seems to be doing pretty well these days, having released an album, entitled ‘Eidolon’, for the Austrian NoiseHead Records in 2012, and now offering ‘Misled’ for free download via their website. Long it might continue! “Why should I care about

Altars / Heaving Earth 'Split Tape' review

2013-08-01T21:30:00.000+03:00

ALTARS / HEAVING EARTH ‘Split Tape’ (Nihilistic Holocaust) Yes, this is a tape only release, fuckin deal with it. All formats have their pros and cons, and there’s just something about cassettes that makes them commendably underground. What really matters is the music, right? And, musically both bands are here to burn their mark on the listener’s mind. Out of the two, Altars are

Sarcasm 'Crematory' review

2013-07-10T10:51:00.000+03:00

SARCASM 'Crematory' (On Parole Productions) 'Crematory', the much loved and talked about in the underground circles, album by Sarcasm has been reissued once again, this time featuring 5 demo bonus tracks to justify the 'Anthology' tag used by the label. Kudos to On Parole for keeping this obscure little gem in print - na zdravje! Ooooh, never heard of Sarcasm? That's fine, they are

NunSlaughter / Antiseen Split 7" review

2013-07-10T00:13:00.001+03:00

NUNSLAUGHTER / ANTiSEEN Split 7" (Hells Headbangers) Inevitable just like our beloved civilization's collapse - another split thingy featuring NunSlaughter, ladies and gentleman. With Antiseen on the flip too, in case you've been wondering what would it take for things to become better worse. Two new and exclusive songs per band, available on either traditional black or red / brown wax -

Imprecation 'Satanae Tenebris Infinita' review

2013-07-09T14:27:00.001+03:00

IMPRECATION 'Satanae Tenebris Infinita' (Dark Descent Records) It has long dawned on everyone that sooner or later all bands from the past are bound to return, in one form or another. No prejudices here and no bias, as long as the newly penned tunes deliver there will be enough people paying attention / parting with their hard earned cash. Too bad for you if you are doing it the

Melencolia Estatica 'Hel' review

2013-02-18T23:56:00.001+02:00

DAEMONICUS 'Deadwork' (Abyss Records) Dan (owner of Abyss Rec.) definitely has great taste when it comes to signing top quality Swedish blackened death metal. This time he has unleashed Daemonicus upon the underground maniacs. 'Deadwork' is the band's second album and easily one of 2012's best death metal

Erupted 'In The Grip Of Chaos' review

2013-02-18T20:32:00.000+02:00

ERUPTED 'In The Grip Of Chaos' (Abyss Records) Erupted are a new band that hail from the mighty Swedish underground but before you write them off as just another clone band or wanna-be give them a chance. The band obviously as mentioned is influenced by the early '90s Swerige-gods but I also hear some U.S. influences from the legendary Autopsy and Cianide and similar style bands. You should

Spektr 'Cypher' review

2013-02-18T20:15:00.000+02:00

SPEKTR 'Cypher' (Agonia Records) Spektr have created a very interesting but also kind of disturbing and morbid sounding release at the same time. The french band mixes elements of experimental black, industrial and even ambient music.There are some fast, chaotic guitar riffs blended with industrial noises and sounds that creates a very harsh sound but at the same time the band blends all

Hallig '13 Keys To Lunacy' review

2013-02-18T19:57:00.000+02:00

HALLIG '13 Keys To Lunacy' (Folter Records) Spain's Gruesome Stuff Relish return with their third release of sick gore death grinding metal for the underground maniacs. The band mixes in old-school sounding Entombed ('Left Hand Path') and Dismember ('Like An Ever Flowing Stream') raw, fast

Enshadowed 'Magic Chaos Psychedelia' review

2013-02-18T14:11:00.000+02:00

ENSHADOWED 'Magic Chaos Psychedelia' (Pulverised Records) Greece has always had a very impressive scene for producing quality black metal bands and Enshadowed can be added to that list. After a nine year silence the band returns to take their place among Greece's most extreme, yet complex

Skineater 'Dermal Harvest' review

2013-02-18T13:55:00.000+02:00

SKINEATER 'Dermal Harvest' (Pulverised Records) 'Dermal Harvest' is the debut from Sweden's Skineater. Skineater play straight forward death metal but instead of rehashing out the old-school Swedish sound (which is probably my favourite style of death metal ever) the band plays a more modern death metal

Ulcer 'Grant Us Death' review

2013-02-18T13:44:00.000+02:00

ULCER 'Grant Us Death' (Pulverised Records) I have to be completely honest - I was not really expecting to like this at all. With the band and album title I guess I was expecting some over the top gore-grind band or second rate Autopsy clone. But that's not the case with these uncompromising old-school
