This Split CD is another cool release by FDA Rekotz, featuring two interesting acts. Ok, here we go: Violent Headache is a fairly known band among utter underground Crust- and Grindheads. These Spanish guys released numerous tapes, splits, singles,… since the bands birth back in the late 80´s and I´m sure true noise lunatics have heard this name be...

Common Grave are from Bavaria, Germany and materialized their ideas into 11 songs of brutal Death Metal with lots of technical components and disharmonic tunes. “Embedded Coding” is their third full length album and was produced by Stefan Fimmers of Necrophagist, so don´t expect a shitty sounding quality. And don´t expect just another Necrophagist...

Hailing from the Magdeburg area, Germany, Infected Brain is a total D.I.Y. Death Metal act. They already financed an EP and 2 full length albums by themselves. The “Blood-Soaked Retrobution” EP is the next part of their career and it´s also a self released one. It starts with the title track and I´m impressed by the good sound and the blast beats t...

“Apocryphal” is a promotional release by Goatmill. These guys are emerging from the dark vaults of Ohio, USA and it seems like it´s their first sign of life. Their music´s dark but melodic with a few keyboard sequences and it reminds me a bit of Dimmu Borgir meets a melodic Death Metal act. The tempo varies in every song from stomping mid-paced pas...

Switzerland´s Punish ravage the underground since 1996 and already released 2 full length albums, 1 demo and 1 EP.

Anyone around that remembers the brilliance of Czech Republics Intervalle Bizarre? The band that released such masterpieces like the famous Split CD with Malignancy? Heaving Earth was founded in the fall of 2007 by the former Intervalle Bizarre vocalist and the former drummer. They teamed up with two other guys to continue what the before mentioned...

It's difficult to write about this one man act from Manitoba, Canada. The three songs on this release are pure instrumental stuff and dominated by high-end guitar work and drumcomputer sounds. It's a little bit exhausting to listen to this demo, because it would have been much better with vocals and less string shredding. Although it's pretty progr...

If you're into the brutal Death Metal underground you'll certainly know the name Amagortis. These Swiss guys materialized their sick ideas and launched a full length album called “Pre-Natal Cannibalism”. To bring it right to the point: this is one of the best European brutal Death Metal releases of the last years. The band got its own unstoppable m...
