Svart Crown is a Death / Black Metal band from France and Rupture Music felt the need to release this full length release in 2008. “Ages Of Decay” has its own darksome prevailing mood, which is a nice basement for over 45 minutes of unmerciful musical visions. This album isn´t based on high speed drum work only, because the guys of Svart Crown know...

This is my first contact with IChaos. I never heard of this band before, but after a few inquests I found out, this new Dutch act consists of (former) members of Cypher and Blo.Torch. “IChaos” seems to be a self-financed and self-released promotional output and the music can be described as a meeting of Death Metal and technical Thrash Metal on a h...

Warning: no wimpy or emotional trash in here. This is brutal to the core with lots of pig squeals and guttural burping. Hailing from Stuttgart, Germany, Boiler is back to bring real brute entertainment. 6 songs in 11 minutes guarantee a short but sweet promotional release with a real good sound. These guys know how to connect blasting Grindcore man...

Hiroshima Will Burn is an Australian band that was formed back in 2005 and already released a self titled 4-track demo. “To The Weight Of All Things” is the bands first full length album and let me tell you, it´s an impressive piece of technical Death Metal with a huge dose of fast-paced Mathcore insanity. Weird, hectic riffs meet precise drumming...

“Ronkade Parved” is Bestia´s second full length output after releasing several demos, a Split CD and a compilation. These Estonian guys signed a deal with Hexenreich Records to present you 42 minutes of true underground Pagan / Black Metal with slight Thrash Metal influences and Folk elements.

Sedative´s style can be described as a mixture of Deathcore and D...
