I’ve been many shades of impressed with all of Vomitor’s material. Coming at your jugular full-on, they have a very lo-fi, distorted sound to boost their early Sodom vibe further into the depths of drunken Hell. I was extremely stoked to see a new album was out (what’s the deal with the new logo?) and
MARDUK / MOONSPELL / INQUISITION PLUS GUESTS TEMPE, ARIZONA 3/10/2013 It was with much ecstatic emotion that I finally got to see Marduk live after waiting over half of my life to witness this. My goodness, the band that put out the “Fuck Me Jesus” demo which Relapse once called “The most blasphemous artwork ever
Well speak of The Devil and he shall appear! Hardly moments after I mentioned Vlad Tepes in my recent review of Bhaobhan Sidhe do I come across a re-release of this legendary demo on CD from the venerable Drakkar Productions (who has been one of the most consistently solid and true labels for decades now!).
Supuration hail from France, always a hotbed of eclectic and experimental underground metal. Their latest release “Cu3e” on Listenable Records continues their long traditional of bizarre and surreal songwriting mixing a myriad of sounds and a plethora of styles.

Anyway, Bhoabhan Sidhe are a sort of legend and myth in the underground, similar to what Von was before they decided to go all Hollywood.

The air raid sirens herald the forthcoming internecine and madness about to unfold. Bit by bit the thundering insanity decimates all in its path and leaves nary a trace of life or hope. Such is the latest effort from belligerent hatepreachers Deiphago. “Satan Alpha Omega” picks up where the previous “Filipino Antichrist” left off, if
A long-forgotten classic now resurrected by Hells Headbangers (and boy, are they pushing it hard, with vinyl, disc, cassette, digital, and merch to be had!), Denmark’s Witch Cross were overshadowed by the Mercyful Fate/King Diamond juggernaut as far as the early Danish scene goes and gave us this one full-length in 1984 then quickly disappeared
You can probably bet they got their name from a song off of the first Exciter album, but then again maybe I’m wrong and just going off of instinct. Iron Dogs offer a solid retro sound that instead of trying to ape old German thrash or Nuclear Assault like so many other bands, take a
THE CIRCLE IS NOW COMPLETE. Closing out their epic trilogy, we now have before us Epitomes XIV-XVIII, all five of which come out to just a little over 45 minutes. Focusing a bit more on atmosphere while still elevating moods to an all-time low (that’s sounds rather contradictory, but you’ll understand it once you hear
“Having been at their game for almost two and a half decades now, veteran goremongers Cannibal Corpse have their bloody brand of death metal down to a science. They haven’t let the years slow them down one bit—their 12th studio album, Torture, was released earlier this year and the band toured all out in support. They
