The Bloodline is a cowork of Roman Schoensee (Pyogenesis) and Kemi Vita (The Dreamside). What they bring here is a mixture of industrial, doom and gothic. After listening the album twice I did remeber anything of this disc. So the third a bit better listening and can to the conclusing that I heard things I already heard before, in other words it is...

Vermin is a death metal band from The Netherlands and this promo contains 7 out of 17 songs from their full length probably. I guess these 7 songs can give us quite a good impression: haunting death metal with straightforward blasting and technical escapes into quite some brutal rhythyms and tempochanges. Production is heavy and massive and the ove...

Dutch band Keihard Kut Ensemble (something like: extreme hard shit band) has released their 2nd demo in 2002. Don't expect some technical grind but simplistic rock and metal. To tell the truth it is more hilarious and funny. The singer is no singer but a narrator who is trying to sing, haha. Guitars are playing easy metal riffs and drums are mostly...

The band Aggressor's (France) has just thrown a compilation containing all of the music of their Demo. The Cd is great, it's Death Metal of quality and completely insane. When I listened the last music that had anything else less than nine and a half minutes I was intrigued, but the strip only played for four minutes and later just the silence. Abo...

Coldworker is grinding death metal that comes at you fast without giving you time to catch your breath. The band is a relentless war machine. The drum blasts fill you with lead like a gatlin gun. The highly-flammable guitar riffs and burning leads will scorch you like a flamethrower. Complete the attack with intense snarling vox that deliver lyrics...

A Dutch band that is terrorizing the scene for some years and now finally release their debut. 6 Songs in a brutal death metal style but with melody and groove. Tempo of the songs is diverse to avoid monotonous sounding and they succeed. The songs sound fresh and vivid. Nice deep growls, catchy guitars with leads and solid drumming. Depredation can...

Second album from this German band. They play an own styled mix of thrash and death metal. The songs are not limited to the above mentioned styles but you can also find a lot of melody and atmospheric restpoints. Good focus on the guitars with some very nice leads! The drums are thrashy and going in full gear. Aggressive and slightly brutal vocals....

Two song promo from this Spanish death black metal band. Not fair to judge on only these two songs but what they let us hear sounds promosing. Dark strong songs that having a variety in melody from atmospheric emotional to blastbeats. Hellish vocals (could use more intonation), powerful drumming and crushing guitarriffing. The could use some guitar...

I am a fan of the heaviest heavy brutal death out there and Gutted with Broken Glass has added a cool dimension of humor to this brutality with BEATEN TO A BLOODY PULP. The CD opener, “Headfuck,” starts with a cool song that repeats two segments of brutal death separated by the words “What do you think about that fuckhead”” and then with “What do y...

Here you find the debut MCD from this band with a strange name. The music they play is a mixture of noise and hardcore. All played intense and complex. Lot of style and tempo changes. The language is shouted out loud and the two guitarplayers are adding the metal to the sound. Some really aggressive songs with lots of interesting parts. They are wr...

This CD comes from 2000 and can now be obtained thru www.coprorecords.co.uk. Mathias is a 5 piece band that plays all kind of stuff, no nu metal but 14 tracks that have immense riffs and even solos, different vocals, melodies, acoustic parts and female vocals. Nice album to listen to because of the diversity of the songs.

Czech death metal monsters Pandemia delivers their third album after 3 years of silence. Pandemia always stayed true to the real death metal roots. But are they still? Well, yes but they add more depth in the songs. A bit slowed down but way more structures and dark threats. And even a guitarlead can be discovered. A logical development and for me...

This medical term band comes from Poland and plays heavy styles death grind with no fancy edges. Just right in your ugly face death metal. Two styled vocals, hammering drums and sharky riffing guitars but no fucking leads. The songtitles and lyrics are standard dealing with chainsaw, stench and crushing. All the ingredients are there to satisfy you...

Well, this is a strange CDR send to me by Dave Wolff of AEA Zine. Stickers on the envelop, one of a naked woman on a bed, and little info. Band members have illuster names like Anal Action Aimee, Vader Reactionary, Naughty Norty or Chronic Demon. And looking at the bandname and the songtitles I am wondering how serious this will be. From the first...
