Now I’ll start off by being honest here: I am no Satan’s Wrath’s expert. In fact, the main reason for volunteering to do a write-up of ‘Die Evil’ was my curiosity about their debut album, a copy of which I’ve… Continue Reading →
I was surprised to see that Dutch death metallers Antropomorphia are 25 year veterans of the scene given that I had never come across them before. Long term devotees of the death, sex and gore unholy triumvirate that provides the… Continue Reading →
These Germans appear to have had a bit of a tumultuous past: starting out in 2004, releasing two EPs, splitting up (losing members with names like Randy Rots in the process) and reforming. But alas, after ten years of waiting… Continue Reading →
There is a real whiff of brimstone, as well as grubby denim and sweaty leather about this one. Like many other bands across the globe, the wonderfully named Infernal Conjuration eschew the modern trends, sub-sub genres and nuances, and harken… Continue Reading →

Such a charming name for a musical collective! This is Ronseal music. You get exactly what it says on the tin. Raw rage filled thrashing loveliness. The version I was sent of this cd was mistagged and I had to… 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 →
In 1994, Germany’s M.B.R. Records (the label which spawned God Macabre’s impossible-to-find debut) unleashed Insanity’s ‘Death After Death’. For this US death metal band, such a mid-nineties release for their first album was both a blessing and a curse. From… Continue Reading →
Although active since 1998, this is just the third full-length effort from these Chilean death metallers. Boasting the drummer who is now playing with the legendary Pentagram (Chile), Thornafire appears to be a three-piece steeped in the tradition of classic… Continue Reading →
