Albums Reviews

Scorpio Doctrine is a Finnish duo practicing an interesting and well done mix of Neo-folk and Martial Industrial music. They first work is an EP with 4 songs released by Saturn Records in December 2014. The first song is more epic with the synthesized trumpets making an enhancement against the acoustic guitars. The voice on [...]

  Ever you ever thought that raw black metal days were over just because the same riff was played over and over again? For some bands maybe… not the case of Archgoat. Finland has been for more than a decade a home where the old meets the new in a strange cozy fashion, as you [...]

This is black metal! From out of the Norwegian fog, Stridens Hus hails the return of one of the best black metal nowadays. Don´t expect this to be a step further or something unique, apparently, the only thing that matters here is to return to the origins, still keeping the sound that we’re familiar with. [...]

New album but the same good old fashion rock n’roll vibe from down under still remains the same. Guess no one expects anything that much new when it comes to a historical band like this with so much to tell, so much done so far, and still despite the age they kickin’ it old school. [...]

What is heavy music? What defines heavy music? Is it only a killer distortion riff? Is it only a supersonic drum? Hmm… not quite sure. Could sweet melodies that seemed to be played at a distance far away from here hit you like a rock? Can a guitar that breaks out from the silent dark [...]

Are your parents and neighbors at home? Nice, put this on. There’s nothing better once a while than an Anaal Nathrak album, and the new one “Desideratum” is basically what we can find in a band like this: chaos, disorder, destruction, hatred, insanity, apocalypse, all in one place. No one does it better than these [...]

Primordial are one of those bands that no need any introduction because we know that something epic this way comes. “Where Greater Men Have Fallen” is not only what we could expect of them, but also an exercise of consciousness regarding the times we live in, based on examples of ages long gone. You can [...]

I wasn´t very excited when the first 2 advanced songs “United In Pain” and the title track “Grand Morbid Funeral” came out along the news that Nick Holmes would be the vocalist in this new album. The ideia I had from Bloodbath is that would a band of friends reviving their old days and play [...]

In a year that is marked by the return of some of sacred monsters of Swedish death metal like Entombed and Bloodbath, At The Gates didn’t want to stay behind and finally the new album “At War With Reality” saw the light of day, after successful tours since 2008 around the world. The sound is [...]

“They wanna get high before they die”. Maybe it’s the most remarkable sentence of the new Eletric Wizard album “Time To Die” and it couldn’t make more since the proposing trip is to go far beyond the limits of distortion, smoke, and sub conscious evil. Find out the deeps of darkness in almost every song [...]

When I got the news that Einherjer would release another album, I was obviously very excited, since they’re one of my cult bands ever since, and one of the first of a genre called Pagan metal that gave birth to other genres like viking or folk… whatever you wanna call it. “Av Oss, For Oss” [...]

Listen up folks, finally it’s out one of best albuns of the year Skálmöld “Með Vaettum”. The ideia that remained from the previous album was that these guys had everything to make a statement when it comes to metal about Nordic myths and legends with a heart and soul so powerful, that even the gods [...]

It’s here! The so long waited album of Ghost Brigade that arrived with the storm “IV One With the Storm”. I still didn’t found out the right words to express what comes from the deeps of these songs, but imagine just this: the dearest angst within a lightness hope of find light at the end [...]

The second incoming of this band is nothing more than a technical melodic death discharge straight forward with some thrash elements here and there, that gives the album quite a unique flavor. The album “Demons” was released after fund raising campaign totally supported by fans, which shows already that these guys have a solid basis [...]
