Breeding Chaos – Distant Planets (Great Dane Records)

Always nice to receive an actual physical product to review in these days of downloads and streaming. Also cool to get a couple of fine death metal albums from Great Dane Records of which this French band is my first… Continue Reading →

Having set their sights on Russia, Japan and North Africa most recently, it was now time for Ave Noctum to fall in the firing line of Hail Of Bullets’ immense armoury. Rather than the blood, shit and severed limbs which… Continue Reading →

Intractable – Inner Decay (SR)

The debut offering from the Swiss quartet out of Sursee is an impressive death/thrash album with plenty of groove and tempo changes to keep things dynamic and interesting. A nice solid groove opens “Captured” which steadily progresses over Benjamin Kottmann’s… Continue Reading →
