I always find it a good sign when you check out a CDs artwork, and feel reassured that you’re going to enjoy what you’re about to hear. Perhaps I’m easily swayed, but I have been known to purchase an album… Continue Reading →
Having missed these Australian extremists playing with Obituary a few months back, I felt compelled to right that wrong by getting to grips with their new album. ‘Flesh is Heir’ is their third full-length in the space of nine years… Continue Reading →
Fanthrash – a strange name for a band. According to their website, their name apparently morphed from the original moniker of Fantom – just lowered in ‘om’ but with newly added ‘hrash’. Makes all the difference to help them stand… Continue Reading →
If ever there was an extreme metal “super-group”, this would be it. Nader Sadek produced the frankly stunning “In the Flesh” a couple of years ago, and this is the live presentation of that album. For those of you not… Continue Reading →
Formed in 2009 to pay homage to the glory days of death metal, and even gigging as a virtual covers band, it seems that Icons Of Brutality’s aspirations were quite modest. Following a couple of line-up changes though, the Dutchmen… 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 →
I seem to have had a lot of female fronted material recently and this band hailing from Colorado is fronted by the scary Holly whose vocal barking is truly demonic and a match for Simone of Cerebral Bore or Jill… Continue Reading →
Voidhanger is the latest project of Warcrimer, frontman of Polish black death protagonists Infernal War. Considering the lack of any solid output from the latter in the past five years, (save for a split with Kriegsmachine in 2010), it’s far… Continue Reading →
