German cult thrashers Exumer have just shown to the world that they will not be removed from the scene so easily like they did in the 80s and their 5th full length aptly titled Hostile Defiance is a firm proof of that statement. The thing is, they have released just two albums in their first…

Here we have the 6th full length of unsung heroes of true American heavy metal Twisted Tower Dire, and even though they are not that well known on the larger scale every true metalhead absolutely knows their worth. This band has played tried and true heavy metal when it was less popular then being a…

Perhaps the biggest Greek metal band ever Rotting Christ are back with their 13th studio album entitled The Heretics which shows once again that they have entered steady phase in their career, the beginning of which was marked by 2007’s Theogonia. Said release rejuvenated their career and infused large doses of ethnic elements into their…

Well, perhaps this is not the best offering from Suidakra, but at least, it’s not so bad as it seems that everyone’s complaining. Cimbric Yarns is an all acoustic albums from Suidakra, maybe not done in their possible way, since we have already learned that they could have very nice acoustic ballads inspired by Celtic…

Finally, after all the painful years of waiting the best of the best has returned with the first sign of recording activity! I personally consider King Diamond to be the finest band ever in the history of mankind and took bad news of King’s health problems very badly but after that slight hiccup the ultimate…

Here we have the 5th full length of German experimentalists Downfall of Gaia and if you have liked their previous outing entitled Atrophy, you have a lot to look forward to with Ethic Of Radical Finitude since it basically develops the sound found on predecessor and takes it even further. If you haven’t heard this…

Maybe younger crowd is not aware that Cattle Decapitation has not always been extreme metal mutant from the last two albums and that they have honed their craft for years before getting where they are now. Medium Rarities is the name of the compilation that has just been released where the band has compiled all…

Can you imagine the band comprised of members from Teutonic thrash merchants Exumer and Japanese doom overlords Church of Misery? That is impossible, you would say? Enter Skull Pit, new project which was made out of friendship of Exumer’s Mem V. Stein and Church of Misery’s Tatsu Mikami. From the moment Skull Pit was announced…

Third time’s a charm, as they say, and that is definitely the case with Danish thrashers Artillery. Their third incarnation from 2007 onwards proved to be the longest standing one, with stabilized line up and biggest number of albums under their belt and here we have another proof for that statement in front us. Artillery’s…

Death metal juggernaut Hate Eternal led by uncompromising Erik Rutan has fallen into a pit of mediocrity after their perhaps the best album 2005’s I, Monarch. Three albums that followed that beast have been good but nothing above it: they got the work done but the band itself has fallen into the pit of predictability.…
