Album Reviews

Daeva’s first studio album “Through Sheer Will and Black Magic” is a must for fans of blackened thrash metal, the Philadelphia quartet managed to boast some adrenaline energetic riffing, if you are into bands like Bathory, Nifelheim and Aura Noir then you must check out this stellar release. Out via 20 Buck Spin.

On November 11th, 2022 Fateful Finality will release their fifth longplayer album called ‘Emperor Of The Weak’. An impressive skull splitting thrash metal record from one of Germany’s finest and at the same time maybe massively underrated bands in this genre. Listen for yourself!

On the debut full length album Proscriptor McGovern’s Apsû incarnates the legacy of Absu and takes a new approach to the domains of avant-garde black/thrash metal.

“Churches without Saints” delivers a gritty performance from the German quartet that managed to provide gnarly riffs in the violent style of the classic blackened thrash metal.

Inflabitan ensures some kind of stability between raw black metal, death metal, and thrash metal on his debut full-length.
