I’ve grown quite fond of Saille. Ever since their debut “Irreversible Decay” the keyboard laced Black Metal has been a great supplier of Metal for my eardrums. With V this is also the case but I can’t help having a few remarks. When I listen to Saille I expect to have a full tapestry of […]
CD review 2021
Last Days Of Humanity – Horrific Compositions of Decomposition
Before reading this review please be warned: I am quite biased when it concerns Last Days Of Humanity. Reasons are quite simple. I grew up with, become acquainted and even befriended with some of the lads from this cult Grind Gore act. So now that this is out in the open I can tell you […]
Enforced – Kill Grid
After doing Warbringer’s recent album I happily find myself able to review yet another crushing thrash band that’s been terrorizing everyone since 2017. Enforced recently released their second full length and first with Century Media Records titled “Kill Grid”. Hailing from Richmond Virginia these thrashers are a punishing mix of more extreme melodic metal and […]
Djevel – Tanker Som Rir Natten
Sometimes the music is overshadowed by its musicians. With Faust (ex-Emperor/Thorns) in their horde it might also be the case for Djevel, but I am not going to delve in the past of some of the band members. It wouldn’t do justice to this great band and with an already solid discography their newest spawn […]
Asphyx – Necroceros
The amounts of bands in the world of Extreme Metal that make it out through the ages, while still maintaining their musical core without steering too much left or right to please bigger crowds (or companies), can basically be counted on one hand. Most either wither away with time, or in a desperate move change […]
Epica – Omega
It’s time to reconnect with an old flame. During my formative years as a metalhead, I have been an avid fan of the Dutch symphonic metallers Epica. After having seen countless shows and knowing many songs by heart (to this day), the relationship faded as my taste for the more extreme genres grew. Every once […]
Helleruin – War Upon Man
You might have remembered that I was looking forward towards the full length of Helleruin a few months ago? Well here it is! New Era Productions gave me a physical copy and after more than a few spins the review is now available for you… If you are looking for an intro please look up […]
Belial – Gods of the Pit II
There was a time decades ago before all the computer modernization where death metal was king for raw aggression. This next release is going to take us back to a time where it wasn’t about the refined album production, audible vocals or the perfect tone. It was about grabbing an instrument, for me it’s a […]
Therion – Leviathan
Three years after the ambitious project “Beloved Antichrist”, Therion is back with “Leviathan”. In contrary to the previous record, Leviathan is more of a regular record, where Beloved Antichrist was a big scale project, which was more of a theater play made into an album. Now, we can say that every Therion record has its […]
Wesenwille – II: A Material God
Wow! I have said before that the Netherlands proves to be sour ground spawning quality acts…over and over again. But listening to the second offspring of Wesenwille called “II: A Material God” it even surpasses my expectations. What these two blacksters hailing from Utrecht have done here is mind-blowing! The sheer quality of compositions are […]
