Tomb Mold - Planetary Clairvoyance

For those unfortunate masses out there that are late to the Tomb Mold game, which sadly has myself included, they are a rather infectious form of spores in the shape of a death metal band based out of the great white north, or Toronto, Canada if you wanna be exact. Tomb Mold is heavily inspired by the brutal action, cosmic horror rpg video games Bl...

Sepolcro - Amorphous Mass

Getting home from a long day at work, you check your mail, there is a package there for you, within you find a record that has an evil looking, unreadable logo. You didn't order anything. What the hell is this? Curious, you walk past your family on into your room and turn on your hi-fi stereo. You put the platter on and take a deep breath. Once you...

Legacy Of Kain - Paralelo XI

Legacy Of Kain are what you would call a modern thrash band from out of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Formed only in 2016, they have already been through what looks like a lot of line-up changes, through those mere two and a half years. With six members come and gone already, two only in a live capacity, they seem to have finally settled on their new m...

Full Of Hell - Weeping Choir

Full Of Hell from Maryland and Pennsylvania in the United States are considered to be a grindcore band. Grindcore? What is Grindcore really? Good old Wikipedia says, "Grindcore is an extreme fusion genre of heavy metal and hardcore punk that originated in the mid-1980s, drawing inspiration from abrasive-sounding musical styles, such as: thrashcore,...

Bloodphemy - In Cold Blood

Alright then, now that we are all settled in and ready, we might as well start with the basic nitty gritty job of a quick, abbreviated, bio here. Bloodphemy are a four to five piece (depending on where you look online) band that hail from Amersfoort, the Netherlands. They originally formed way back in 2000 and were only active until 2003 and then r...

Pelvic Meatloaf -Stronger Than You

Now, I just have to be open and honest with you all here, when I first saw the name of the band that I was about to listen to for a review I was a little off put and rather, uncharacteristiclly, full of skepticism. For, I thought, a band with a name like Pelvic Meatloaf just has to be some sort of an elaborate joke, where they can't possibly take a...

Solace Of Requiem - Casting Ruin

So, let’s just get this out of the way to begin with right away here so you all don’t have to sit and read through a bunch of my ratings, ravings and ramblings first. Solace Of Requiem’s "Casting Ruin" completely and utterly kicks major, and I mean major, major ass. There is really nothing more you, I or anyone really needs to know about this album...

Started off in 2007 Invidiosus went through what many bands of this style seem to go through, a multitude of personal changes that happened...

Heidra - Awaiting Dawn

Copenhagen, Denmark’s rather capable Heidra pick up with their, brand new, first full length “Awaiting Dawn” right where they had left off with on their solid debut EP release “Sworn To Vengeance.” And that would be with a heaping and bulging helping of some powerful and quite moving viking folk metal, the type of viking folk metal that puts you in...
