Engines of Torture – Obsidian Redemption
Alright and brutal. That’s how I would describe this EP ‘Obsidian Redemption’ from Engines of Torture, a band from Brasil formed in 2006. They describe their music as death metal, it reminds me a bit of Nile and Belphegor. ‘Obsidian Redemption’ is their first release ever. Now let’s see if it is any good.

Lekamen Illusionen Kallet – Second Wind
After four years of absence Second Wind shows a maturity in this Swedish act, who had people buzzing with albums such as Bestvartade Strofer, not only in sound but also in promotion as the man behind it all has changed aliases and sets to expand LIK into new musical and philosophical territory. To me, this [...]
Die Hard – When Illusions Gone
When someone says that a band is young, most of the time the band has already existed for two or three years. This band, Germany’s Diehard, is still in its diapers. According to the band’s biography Diehard was founded at the end of 2010, and already has an album out. That’s what I would call hard [...]

Watain/Destroyer 666/Otargos
No God – No Satan: The slogan of the French Black Metal band, Otargos. Still they have songs about God, and waved around a bible during the show. The band, smeared in dirt, gave away a good performance. They were active on stage and tried to create interaction with the audience. Sometimes it worked, while some other [...]
