The Parisians are making their 1st long run, and not many bans can make their mark in such an early stage of their career. Is not by mere chance that they made a banner sigil their 1st LP Cover. NECROBLASPHEME have an identity, even if it isn’t fresh. They follow a tradition, being faithful to [...]

 The favorite children of the damned lake Bodom have put the foot on the door once again with “I Worship Chaos”. The first single “Morrigan” is not quite representative of what the album truly is: a smashing display of killer riffs and technical / melodic abilities with breath-taking solos, and a hunger for destruction never [...]

After a solid debut album released in 2013, which was well received by both press and fans, Regarde Les Hommes Tomber are back with another pillar of crushing Post-Black / Sludge Doom hymns. In the same vein as the previous record, “Exile” starts of with a hypnotic introduction that builds up the tension until it [...]

Poland has always been known for its strong black/death scene. Recently, bands like Mgła, Kriegsmaschine or Blaze Of Perdition have been getting a lot of attention as consequence of releasing incredibly good records. Outre, a rather more recent group has done the same. After releasing a well acclaimed debut EP and a split with fellow [...]

“Jamais de Trêve”, French for No More Bullhit one could say. Presque. In fact it means «no truce», no compromise, whatever the costs. And it is what we have in fact, pure dose of hard rock, embed w/ a good dose of trash. JIMM is old school all right. The sound itself is not new, [...]

 When Venom and Holy Moses collide, Witches is the result. The French band that is almost unknown, maybe due the lack of releases, although they have a lot of demos. This new album “The Hunt”, self-released, could take the band to the ears of more people. What we find is an exercise of severe thrash [...]

 The revival of bands with that fading rock blues sound from the 70’s can easily catch an eye in these days where it’s hard to find bands with a huge soul, something really needed when it comes to this genre. The time machine is well tuned when it comes to Graveyard and their new proposal [...]

 “Golgotha” is the return of W.A.S.P. to the great albums and to what they’re unique: to combine 80’s hard rock with that characteristic heavy metal sick kick. Being their most defying album since “The Crimson Idol”, all the tracks are really deep in their meaning, almost if they were being forged for years and left [...]

The witch is back with her pack and brought a new album , “Static” for all the creatures to listen to. Along with it came in a new guitar player Eli Santana, a new drummer Tyler Meahl, and a new bass player Spencer Jacob. Right from the start, the song “Sorrow” makes quite an impact, [...]

 Don’t think that this band hidden a weak record behind a nice cover, what you can find here is a serious exercise of black metal very well written, with the guitar production expected for a black metal album, and lyrics in polish. The trip to hell stars with a very good intro and the howling [...]

 Alice Cooper had the idea of making a covers band, and called some friends to jump on this night flight trough rock n’roll in Hollywood while we take a sip of wine and dust off or best leather jacket. Some of the guests on this trip are Johnny Deep, Joe Perry, Perry Farrell, Dave Grohl, [...]

The newest release by portuguese party grinders Serrabulho is a record full of puns, fun and grind, starting with the title, “Star Whores”, which is a satirical reference to the cinematic epic saga “Star Wars”. But the references and concept behind this, that translates in the visual and costumes of the group, doesn’t end here. [...]

A.c.o.D is determined to put France on the death/trash metal scene. To the Maelstrom, the 3rd long flight of the Marseillais really create a landmark besides their local city club (despite its demise in recent years). The band clearly want to create their space on an all crowded metal genre, very strict to its rule. [...]

 Liv Kristine and her band are back with more stories about Vikings on their new album “King Of Kings”. The challenge here is to listen from the perspective of a woman, old war heroes and northern myths that usually we listen on other genres, and way the songs were composed makes it different at least, [...]
