Astral Tomb - Degradation Of Human Consciousness

What we have here is a young death metal trio from Denver, Colorado that attacks the world with its three-song EP "Degradation Of Human Consciousness".

Apocalyptic Fear - Decayed Existence/Dawn Of The Ritual

Apocalyptic Fear is what you can easily call an oldschool metal gem - this Canadian band existed from 1991 and 1994 and managed to release just two demos, "Decayed Existence" from 1992 and "Dawn Of The Ritual" from 1994. Now those two demos are being re-released on one CD via Awakening Records which, curiously enough, is a label from China. What...

Chancroid is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Haemuphilus Ducreyi.

Volturyon - Xenogenesis

What we have here is the fourth full-length album of the Swedish band Volturyon called "Xenogenesis". This is the first time that I hear about those guys which is strange having in mind that the band exists since 2006. But is it possible to know every band from the seemingly endless Swedish metal scene? Probably not... What you will find in this...

VxPxOxAxAxWxAxMxC - Austrian Dukes Of Derangement

I have seen Vaginal Penetration Of An Amelus With A Musty Carrot twice in Bulgaria, once in Varna and once in my hometown on the bench of the river Danube - Ruse. I still remember that I was blown away by the absolutely unique sounds that vocalist Franz Stockreiter was getting out of his throat. Together with Werner Kniesek on guitars, those Aus...
