First of all, let me apologize for delivering this review to all our readers this late. Sometimes a record just needs some extra time to sink in, yet a few months after release is quite a bit too late obviously. To be fair, when I first listened to Human :||: Nature, I did not really […]
CD reviews 2020
The Committee – Utopian Deception
Black metal collective The Committee stormed the metal scene with their previous records, ‘Power Through Unity’ (2014) and ‘Memorandum Occultus’ (2017). While gaining recognition with these albums, the band played both underground and well known extreme / black metal festivals. Even though it’s only been three years since their last release, the third full-length ‘Utopian […]
Duivel – Tirades uit de Hel
The Dutch formation Duivel arose from the underground with their new album ‘Tirades uit de Hel’, while the world and society were crippled by the fear of the pandemic. Read the review here.
Danheim – Skapanir
Seven full lengths in barely four years’ time, that’s what Mike Olsen has accomplished with Danheim. I stumbled upon his music about two years ago and ever since I at least turn some of it on, once a week. Result: for some people in my life there was no way to get around his music […]
Aborted – La Grande Mascarade
Aborted is a Brutal Death Metal Band from Waregem, Belgium. Forming Back in 1995 by lead vocalist Sven de Caluwé. With 10 studio albums and 6 EPs to their name, it’s fair to say Aborted is one of the hardest working bands touring these days. Aborted has a new EP out called “La Grande Mascarade” […]
Oranssi Pazuzu -Mestarin Kynsi
Sometimes reviewing can be very hard. Finding the right words to give you as a reader the right impression is a task on itself. With Oranssi Pazazu this is also the case. Words fall short with this musical endeavour. This band already has gained cult status with performing at the Roadburn festival in 2017, which […]
Testament- Titans of Creation
One of the greatest things about music, is it ability to take us back to a different time and place, sometimes triggering some rather nostalgic emotions. I was first introduced to Testament when I was around the age of 11 or twelve years old. After listening to bands like Black Sabbath, I found Testament to […]
Body Count – Carnivore
Formed in Los Angeles California in 1990, Ice T took his legacy from the streets of the rap scene and formed the iconic thrash metal project Body Count. Taking heavy influence from the gods of thrash themselves in Slayer there’s so much to love musically. In early March of 2020 they released their seventh studio […]
Forgotten Tomb – Nihilistic Estrangement
Italy’s blackened sludge / doom band Forgotten Tomb are about to release their tenth full-length Nihilistic Estrangement via Agonia Records.
Earth Rot – Black Tides Of Obscurity
Recently, a band that goes by the name of Earth Rot has slowly emerged from the shadowy scene of Australia and even though I passed by the name a few years back with other material that they put out, none of it stroke me enough to wait and wonder about it. I’ve seen their logo […]
