The three Norsemen also known as Sahg is existing since 2004 and made one album sofar, simply called "I". Why spend a lot of time thinking about an album title? And so their new album is called "II". The band is playing a mixture of stoner and doom. Songs that have their inspiration in the bands like Black Sabbath, Trouble or Spiritual Beggars....

The Classic Struggle delivers their Metal Blade debut in May 2006. An album containing 12 tracks in a modern thrash/death mixture. Songs that are compact and aggressive. Pluspoint is the drummer Tyler who fires rapid bassdrum blast throught the songs and pounds everything locked. Vocals are that metalcore/screamo and could be more thrashy. Riffing...

Split CD from two brutal noise grind acts. Torture Incident is the first one and comes from Malaysia and is ramming 16 songs thru your slitted throat. Hellish screamer, hammering drums and crashing guitars. Just sick songs with some weird intros. Brutal Insanity is more known and only delivering 5 songs of their raging violence and that is inclu...

Italian thrashers that are helding the 80s banner high. Dressed like the early thrash bands and also playing it. And when you see they play a cover of Destruction you know what to expect. Aggressive vocals, up tempo and fast songs, screamy guitars and solos, warrelated lyrics. An album that gives you 40 minutes of pure thrash metal and with a beer...

The driving force behind this band is Duncan who gets help from other musicians (Vargsriket, Sanguis, Darkfall) to create his metalness. Raw black metal at high speed with tempo breaks, grim voices and possessed guitars. The songs breath metal and if you hear some references it ain't a shame. All tracks are easy listening and don't get bored. Maybe...

On this split you find the two mentioned bands. Both play the grind style of metal. Ahumado Granujo takes the most space with 21 songs including covers, bonus and special termixes. The songs are uptempo with the grinding vocals. The guitars are thick and building the wall. Also worth mentioning are some funny titles. Utopia plays on a higher speed...

Commander comes from Germany and they’ve been around since 1999. For 7 years they’d been working on their music and tried to make their name known by supporting live bands like: Six Feet Under, Dew-scented & Equilibrium. Finally they release their 1st full-length “Worlds destructive domination” in 2006. Now, the album I have in my hands, is...

Listen to this total psycho album and you know why Deranged is one of my fav band in the extreme scene! Again the play the no fucking trendy shit but just straight ahead extreme stuff with deep and brutal vocals, sharky guitar with some sharp leads and the inhuman drums without effects! No more words needed than to tell you to buy this master piece...

Here's the dark souls from Dargonlord with their black wings of destiny. This is dark symphonic metal with elements of death and black. Heavy guitars playing massive riffs or fast melodic attacks. Drums are either pounding or raging more uptempo with double bassdrum parts. The heavy mid tempo parts are supported by keyboards to create an even darke...

Starting in 1991 and after several changes they deliver their piece of death metal to the masses. Technical death styled metal with melody and great guitarleads that are a pleasure to listen to. Maybe this is a new step in the death metal scene to combine the brutal stuff with guitarsolos like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. From the 10 songs there are...

Fucking sick bastards these spanish pathology freaks. Under the lyrical guidance of Luisma a battery of grind noise terrorizes you for half an hour. Insane drumming, bizarre guitarleads and grinding voice leaves the marks in your ears and showing that Haemorrhage is one of the great grind bands around these days. For this result that can play the F...

Formed in the nineties these guys are now ready to deliver their debut. On this disc these Danish metallers remastered their previous demos to let us part of their attack. Lipid plays nowadays metal but with some links to the old thrash legends. The songs are based on strong melodic guitarriffing, some good guitarleads (track 3), heavy drums and ag...

Me and Him Call it Us is a three man band from Atlanta, Georgia. They already recieved good word of mouth from their four song demo, which lead up to this masterpiece album called "Loss". Simply titled, but a beautiful mix of complex songs. Me and Him Call it Us is easily considered a noise/grind band, but have just the right bits of melodic parts...

The third record of the Czech experimental band represents a crossover of different styles from aggressive hardcore, viking riffs to funky even jazz pieces. It is more violent than the previous ones but it keeps melodic structure with nice clean guitars that go mad to distortion, blast-beats and growls. Bizarre, atmospheric male and female vocals a...

Out of the dark comes this 4 piece band Quinta Essentia. Reading the press sheet and esing the artwork I am convinced that this band is dealing with the occult and transcedental magic. The songs are long but containing so much beauty. Musically it is on high technical skills and putting force out of thrash, death, doom and black metal. Tempo is int...
