Japanische Kampfhorspiele – Bilder Fressen Strom

"Bilder Fressen Strom" is the 5th full-length album of JAKA, one of the most innovative extreme metal German acts. I use the term "extreme metal" because it's a fact that this band's music style is very complex to define. Some characteristics like: keeping their songs short, using pictures of social content for album covers or having double vocals...

Melektaus – Trascendence Through Ethereal Scourge

Formed in 1998, Melektaus come from Chile and this is their only full-length so far, released five years ago. Just like any other death metal act coming from South America, Melektaus also guarantees tons of evil brutality; after all it’s a fact that the scene in countries such as Argentina, Brazil or Chile totally lacks of melody. “Trascendence...

Veil - Blinkers Define The Spasm

Veil come from Greece and was formed back in 2005. Their 1st release was a demo displaying a band that was more into darkened death/doom metal. Five years later and after many line-up changes, the band shows a new face; “Blinkers Define The Spasm” contains five pieces of skull-fucking death/black metal, worthy of your attention and respect. The...

Offalmincer – Filicide At Feretory

<div> <div>Formed in 2003, Offalmincer comes from Russia and “Filicide At Feretory” is their 1st and unfortunately last full length attempt, because the band is now split up. The songs of this album have been recorded back in 2006, but it seems the band spent some time looking for a label, something they finally did a year ago with the help of Coy...

Diabolic - Chaos In Hell/Possessed By Death

Diabolic come from Tampa, Florida and are quite known in the death metal scene throughout these years. Despite their origin (Tampa = death metal), Diabolic plays a mixture of oldschool (what the fuck is N.W.O.A.M??!!) death and thrash metal with many black metal injections, sounding very obscure and evil - pretty fucking cool if you ask meJ! “Chaos...

Supreme Pain - Cadaver Pleasures

Supreme Pain is a new project of members of Sinister, Scaffold and other European death/grind bands and this is their first full-length album. Their attempt is to combine early 90s death metal with today’s furious blastbeating brutality. In my opinion they do it pretty well, but to be honest they do not sound like something you haven’t listened to...

Debauchery - Continue To Kill

Debauchery is a German band, known for their deranged idea of mixing death metal with hard rock n’ roll!!!! Continuing their boogie-groovy death (?) metal kill, they present their 5nd attempt to bother your ears. I must say the sound is really strong &amp; clean, &amp; their songwriting has become more brutal than before with the addition of many b...

Gods Of Emptiness - Consumption Is Freedom?

Never heard of these Germans so it took me by surprise when I found out, they first started playing in 1995. “Consuption is freedom?” is their 2nd full-length album, not very productive you might say, but the thing is that after releasing their 1st album back in 1998, the guys split up. Well, they’re back now so let’s see what do we got. Gods of...

In 2006 they release their “rehearsal promo 2006” and in 2-year time they sign to Grotesque Productions and release this concrete savage shit…. We’re talking about pure brutal death metal...
