Album Reviews

Dark Funeral’s newest opus “We Are the Apokalypse” is undeniably one of the best albums in the band’s discography as it ultimately forges new methods of fusing catchy elements and rhetoric harmonies.

Blood Incantation on the newest EP bends time and space and offers a deep spiritual odyssey. A very high recommendation for fans of dungeon synth and ambient music.

With ‘Erebos’, Venom Prison steps into a new chapter of their career with a massive album that will impress a whole lot of people!

Breaking free from the mold, Wiegedood has created a musical masterpiece of discomfort, extremes and harshness!

Gemini Syndrome brings with the 3rd Degree – The Raising the final chapter in their trilogy. An excellent and powerful album full of hooked and groovy melodies.

‘Atavistic Black Disorder/Kommando’ is essential for the die hard fans of Mayhem.

Angelus Apatrida stands for solid thrash releases hailing from Spain. For fans of Megadeth and Testament.

‘Isn’t this a little weird’? Yes, yes it is. But it’s so weird that it’s good. I even dare to say genius. But I think we have to view this album more as a fun experiment than as a full release.

Sanguisugabogg managed to deliver a consistent album. This is a valid example of a modern breed of brutal death.

Enforced released with ‘Kill Grid’ a killer of an album with influences of death metal, thrash metal and hardcore!
