Knife – Knife (Dying Victims)

I have admired these German black speed punks for a while, they have two tape releases and their first tape ‘Black Leather Hounds’ laid down the blueprint. From the description, you can guess what they sound like right? Take all… Continue Reading →

Protector – A Shedding of Skin (High Roller)

When you think of German thrash metal, you often think of the so called Teutonic trio, or big four to go a bit further. In fact Germany had a lot of great thrash bands of equal merit, even in current… Continue Reading →

Criminal – Sacrificio (Metal Blade)

Chilean Thrash/Death titans Criminal are back once again with their ninth studio album and first release since 2016’s ‘Fear Itself’. Seemingly continuing to head back to their roots, incorporating more of the Latin and South American musical traits and styles… Continue Reading →

Paradox – Heresy II – End Of A Legend (AFM)

Thrash/Speed Metal band Paradox are no strangers to the scene, and as the “II” by the title above may suggest, they are out to further cement that statement by revisiting what is possibly their best known release from way back… Continue Reading →

Space Chaser – Give Us Life (Metal Blade)

Berlin thrashers, Space Chaser have been banging about since 2011 and their third LP, “Give Us Life” continues their head banging journey. Unashamedly old school, the flag for Teutonic thrash is being held high by this five-piece outfit. They explode… Continue Reading →

Mordred – The Dark Parade (M-Theory Audio)

After reviewing last year’s EP, I was more than happy to take a listen to the new album and I’m glad to say it doesn’t disappoint. As it’s taken 25 years since Mordred last released an album, they decided not… Continue Reading →

There are few bands as enduring as Germany’s Desaster, you’ve only to look through their extensive discography to see their dedication to the scene. Their raft of albums is spliced with numerous splits, EPs and live albums creating a DIY… Continue Reading →

Video Nasty – Video Nasty (Petrichor)

Utilising gruesome film sound bites, Canadian death thrashers Video Nasty have concocted a brutal blast of old school thrash metal that crosses over into hardcore punk and death metal ugliness. This self titled EP is the bands first outing and… Continue Reading →

The Day Of The Beast – Indisputably Carnivorous (Prosthetic)

This was a bit of an omen really, sitting there patiently, waiting for a forever home and some petting on our review list, this album was calling out for me to pick it up. This was in no small part… Continue Reading →

Go Ahead And Die – Go Ahead And Die (Nuclear Blast)

The name (ne brand) Cavalera carries a certain amount of cachet in my mind, despite spreading himself as thin as the dreadlocks Max finally chopped off last year. With the brothers (Max and Igor senior) being founding members of probably… Continue Reading →

Flotsam And Jetsam – Blood In The Water (AFM Records)

This is the 14th studio album by the 35-year-old band from Arizona, and the first with new bassist Bill Bodily who replaces Michael Spencer after his 6-year second stint in the band. Opening with the title track, “Blood in the… Continue Reading →
