Vuohi / Gasmask Violence

After doing a review of their The Rising Era Of Goat, the guys in VUOHI mailed me a copy of their latest offering Hatred United. The album is a split with fellow Finlanders GASMASK VIOLENCE that was released in 2011. Evenly broken up, the first four tracks are from GASMASK VIOLENCE and last four are [...]

IMPIETY – Ravage and Conquer

Singapore’s war mongers IMPIETY have set Ravage and Conquer as the title for their newest album. The 7 new tracks and a cover of BATHORY’s “Sacrifice” make up the 48 plus minutes of this Blackened Death Metal slab of sickness. These guys have to be one of the hardest working bands today with their relentless [...]

Defamer – Decrepit Rituals

Time to take a trip Down Under to Australia and home to Death Metalers DEFAMER. These guys have recently released Decrepit Rituals their follow up to 2009’s Chasm. We get 8 brutal tracks of old school Death Metal that runs over the 35 minute mark. My experience has been that when you listen to a [...]

Graveyard – The Altar Of Sculpted Skulls

Pulverised Records is the current home to the likes of IMPIETY, MASTER, and GRAVE DESECRATOR. The label has been churning out some excellent albums and is also the home to Spain’s GRAVEYARD. It has been well over 2 years since GRAVEYARD’s debut album One With The Dead was spawned upon the masses, so when I [...]

Vuohi – The Rising Era of Goat

Finland’s Vuohi has been hard at work in the past couple of years. So far, they have released two demos: Total Noise Chaos (2007), and The Rising Era Of Goat (2010), as well as a split album with Gasmask Violence  titled Hatred United (2011). It’s been a while since the aforementioned The Rising Era of [...]

Dephosphorus – Axiom

We travel back to the land of Greece where I had just reviewed AMNIS NIHIL EP Christological Escalation. This time around we have DEPHOSPHORUS with their 7 track EP Axiom and their self described Astrogrind music. It makes sense that they describe their music this way since their members have previously played in Deathgrind [...]

Amnis Nihil – Christological Escalation

Greece has been home to some of the extreme bands to enter the music business. VARATHRON, ASTARTE, and one-man band NOCTERNITY are just a few to mention. Greek Black Metal newcomers AMNIS NIHIL have entered the mix with their new 4 track EP Christological Escalation. The band formed in 2008 and Avantgarde Music released this [...]

Divider / Colony

New York has some new blood in the forms of DIVIDER (Long Island, NY) and COLONY (Hudson Valley, NY), both bands having a sludge/hardcore sound and both that are making some waves in the underground. Both bands have recently self-released a new split 7 inch EP in 3 different vinyl colors and contains 4 [...]

Manic Scum – Better Left Undead

Kingsport, Tennessee’s Death/Grind newcomers Manic Scum have their first EP coming out entitled Better Left Undead. A total of 7 tracks running at just above the 11 minute mark, this EP has some old school flavor mixed with a bit of doom. I am always looking forward to checking out some old school death/grind/black metal [...]

Drudkh – Eternal Turn Of The Wheel

Ukraine’s Black Metal bandits Drudkh have returned with their 9th full length album Eternal Turn Of The Wheel. Six tracks with a total run time just over 37 minutes the album is a return to form for Drudkh and a great start to the black metal releases of 2012. After having mixed reviews on their [...]
