In continuation of a seeming tradition, Dark Descent Records has released the debut full-length album of another Finnish Death Metal band. This time it’s Lantern’s “Below.” First I’d like to start by saying that it is my hope that this subterranean death cult ultimately receives the praise that they deserve. I picked up the previous
Having heard “Open the Krypt” back when it cameout, I’ve always had a general idea as to what can be expected with a band like Krypts. I must admit though, their debut full length surprised me.

Regardless of where your coming from on Behexen familiarity make no mistake in thinking that this is anything less than a grotesque
Sacrilegious Impalement goes way back to 2005. Founding member Impaler Von Bastard (guitars, bass and main song-writer) enlisted Hellwing (vocals and lyrics) and completed the line-up with Exordium’s drummer, Revenant. The trio released a demo, EP, mini album, and were featured on a few compilations before their debut full-length. Though I have heard their first
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
Soluthus contacted me a while back about a potential review for their EP, Ritual of the Horned Skull, and it’s been in my “commonly played” pile for weeks and now I can finally get the damn review done.
