Although black metal is not my cup of tea, I decided listen to this band because I read very good reviews in other magazines. The fantastic mix of atmosphere and barbarity captured me and I decided to write something about Der WegEinerFreiheit. The album is called “Finisterre” and released on 25/08/2017 via Season Of Mist. First […]
All Pigs Must Die are one of the most essential bands of the genre bending trend (in the best meaning of the word) which gains ground in extreme music for quite some time now. Having brazenly barged into the scene at the start of the decade with their self-titled debut ep (2010) and mainly with […]
” Urn “ will be released on October 27, 2017 via Season Of Mist and is not just a perfectly executed technical challenge, but a realization of feelings of peace and sometimes dynamism that the listener certainly does not expect. It’s just their third album, and although each is a masterpiece, I think ” Urn […]
It is important to have in mind that Paradise Lost emits a feeling of a band that doesn’t feel the need to provoke to be noticed or just to prove a point. Having passed through the fields of doom, gothic and electronic sounds, they have managed to keep their sonic identity – and fan base […]
2017 has grown into another great year for the Greek crust/hc punk scene in terms of releases. Picking up from where Conspiracy of Denial, Lethe and Dead on Parole left it earlier this year, Procrastinate from Karditsa, who already have two really good ep’s (“Subjugated Herd” and “Ideals to Burn”) under their belt, released their […]
It’s the year of our Lord 2006 and some dudes from Olympia, U.S. release a debut that will turn the black metal scene upside-down. Their name was Wolves in the Throne Room and that of their “first-born” “A Diadem of 12 Stars”. For the author of these lines, that was a landmark album when I […]
The Swiss folk metallers Eluveitie return with “Evocation II – Pantheon“. Those who’ve been following the band know that in 2009 they released “Evocation I – The Arcane Dominion“. The sequel is the continuation of the folk melodies of the first one. Many acoustic vibes and the lack of metal elements continue to appear perhaps, […]
“Anticult” released on July 7th, 2017 is the title of the new album from Decapitated, maybe a bit different from their previous work, but I consider it an evolution to their sound. As we know, the band was marked by their drummer’s (Vitek) premature loss, but as nothing can be done, life is going on […]
Vanum were introduced to us about two years ago, with their debut album “Realm of Sacrifice” (Profound Lore) making a special impression to the fans of U.S. black metal sound. The talented duet of K. Morgan and M. Rekevics, who bear the artistic essence and value of exceptional bands of the genre such as Ash […]
Iced Earth, that is, Jon Schaffer, after constantly changing musicians , did not deviate from what Iced Earth were playing at the dawn of their career. With a singer who is approaching the voice of the great Matt Barlow they created another remarkable album entitled “Incorruptible” and was released on June 16th, 2017 via Century […]
