I first got acquainted with Disbelief about 20 years ago when they ripped up the stage with their raucous, in-your-face metal, releasing the appropriately titled “Spreading the Rage”. “Killing Karma” is their eleventh album, the tenth being “The Ground Collapses”… Continue Reading →
1985-1988 were really important years in the development of extreme metal. For a while, the terms now used in relatively precise terms by lovers of our brands of noise were relatively interchangeable. I can recall Megadeth proudly calling themselves “state… Continue Reading →
Speaking in “the Devil’s tongue,” here we have a trio with members split between Germany and Brazil some of whom also play in Sodomizer and Hellkommander along with a drummer who has done time in both Destruction and Morgoth. Can… Continue Reading →
This band is a rediscovery for me. I loved Disbelief’s 2003 album “Spreading the Rage” and witnessed a dynamic live performance at the Camden Underworld about the same time. I can still picture a collection of big hairy buggers doing… Continue Reading →
When this EP landed on my mat I took one look at the artwork and thought “oh bugger…… he knows I don’t like black metal much”. Old school black and white art with the usual skulls, moons, wonky symbols, tombstones… Continue Reading →

One of the phrases I hate reading in album reviews (and I know I’ve used it myself) is ‘this album doesn’t break new ground’. Well it’s death fucking metal mate, what do you expect? A One Direction cover? Seriously! Remember… Continue Reading →
Four albums in and Ireland’s Coldwar takes some massive steps towards defining their own niche within the cosmos of death metal littered with the remnants of past stars and upcoming new proto stars and these guys shine far more brightly… Continue Reading →
For a band that has been around for nearly three decades they sure have taken a long time to get their true full length debut despite more than a handful of demos and what not. My first experience with the… Continue Reading →
I have been waiting for this album for a while now, Skeletal Remains had one hell of a demo (‘Desolate Isolation’) last year, and this debut album is highly anticipated. I agree whole heartedly with the PR material, fans of… Continue Reading →
