Nightfall is a Symphonic Black Metal hailing all the way from Athens, Greece. Considered as the main influence that brought Black Metal to the Mediterranean region. Nightfall has been tearing up the world with their unique metal style since 1991 and have a lot to show for it. But for this VERY long overdue review […]
A talk about, and with, Einherjer: North Star
A while ago, Einherjer released their 8th studio album “North Star”. So what does the album sound like and what are the thoughts of co-founder and drummer Gerhard Storesund on the album and the band? We went and found out! The album North Star starts with “The Blood and the Iron”. It’s a powerful track, […]
Impaled Nazarene– Eight Headed Serpent
I do not want to give too much spoilers about this album but when having such an outrageous hilarious sample in the first track you score points. That said you probably already know Impaled Nazarene. If not you must be living under a rock the last 30 years or simply not interested in this kind […]
Seth – La Morsure du Christ
I have a lot of fond memories regarding Seth; listening to it when I was discovering Black Metal. Together in the car with one of my best friends….riding to Amsterdam visiting Gothic parties and listening to Black Metal along the way (you know who you are matey ;)). With old gems such as Les Blessure […]
Blackbriar – The Cause of Shipwreck
For the last couple of years, Blackbriar has been working hard to build their brand. After a couple of EP’s and singles, as well as supporting bands like Epica, Delain and Halestorm, it was about time for an official debut album. And what a debut it is, as I can immediately say that “The Cause […]
Fireforce – Rage of War
Strap on your boots, put on your battle jacket and listen to this raging album ! This combat metal foursome from Belgium already has a great reputation when it comes to live shows and that resulted in Nightmare’s Matt Asselberghs to become a part of the band. Rage of War is FireForce 4th Full Length […]
Saille – V
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 […]
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 […]
