Album Reviews
The Belgian trash metal band Basement Critters bring their first EP. Find out here how that turned out.
It’s all about quality of aggressiveness and memorable riffs, fast solos lie tornados and fierce drumming which makes them sound evil.
Brace yourselves for the undead attack that the new Foul Body Autopsy album will bring you!
Some of Montreal’s finest underground musicians came together to make one badass band! This is the first product of Vantablack Warship’s work.
Feed Me Violence is simply a violent record and it’s impossible to compare it to their debut.
Some very fine music is coming from Austria now! Irdorath with their third album “Denial of Creation” pushes everything away.
The Crown have always been a modern death/thrash band and ‘Cobra Speed Venom’ is presented with immense extremity.
Panzer has managed to portray their most melodic album, with catchy twin guitar harmonies of NWOBHM style.
The popular metal outfit Trivium is back with album number 8 “The Sin and the Sentence” to prove that they’re the epitome of modern metal!
Once more Belgium proves that it’s a breeding ground for talented bands. Trouble Agency is one of them, classic thrash that will damage your neck.
