The Damnnation – Way Of Perdition (Soulseller Records)

After listening to this debut album a couple times, I found the vocals very reminiscent of Arch Enemy’s ‘Khaos Legions’. It’s at this point I decided to read the band bio. Formed 3 years ago in São Paulo, Brazil, and… Continue Reading →

Dead Head – Slave Driver (Hammerheart Records)

Hitting the world in 1989, Netherlands wrecking crew Dead Head have consistently delivered aggressive, classic thrash metal. Starting life in an era that dropped the big names, they’ve continued to fly the flag for extreme music and with “Slave Driver”,… Continue Reading →

Inferno Festival – Rockefeller and John Dee, Oslo Norway 17/4/22

Ah that bittersweet feeling of the last day of a festival. Still a whole day of great music and festivities to be had, but also that knowledge that this is the last day and then it is back to “real… Continue Reading →

Skumstrike – Deadly Intrusions (Selfmadegod)

Nominative determinism is not only a bastard to spell (two spellchecks and counting), but when the name of the band you’re attempting to unpick and make sense of is called Skumstrike (they must be fans of the previously excellent but… Continue Reading →

Knife – Knife (Dying Victims)

I have admired these German black speed punks for a while, they have two tape releases and their first tape ‘Black Leather Hounds’ laid down the blueprint. From the description, you can guess what they sound like right? Take all… Continue Reading →

Paradox – Heresy II – End Of A Legend (AFM)

Thrash/Speed Metal band Paradox are no strangers to the scene, and as the “II” by the title above may suggest, they are out to further cement that statement by revisiting what is possibly their best known release from way back… Continue Reading →

Nocturnal – Serpent Death (Dying Victims Productions)

German black thrashers Nocturnal have not released anything since 2014, except for an EP last year in fact, but that was the last time I heard from them. I remember chaotic gig madness in London way back in 2008, of… Continue Reading →

Rapture – Malevolent Demise Incarnation (FDA Records)

Athenian 4-piece Rapture have been throwing riffs since 2012 and with two full length albums, two EP’s and a split with Toxic Carnage under their belts, the thrash-death outfit are back with album #3: Malevolent Demise Incarnation. With a sound… Continue Reading →

Onslaught – Generation Antichrist (AFM)

I think we often times neglect genres which we enjoy, which is strange. For example I love a bit of Thrash but I never tend to binge it, nor have I ever considered myself a massive fan despite the fact… Continue Reading →

Thanatos – Violent Death Rituals (Listenable)

In the midst of recent times has there ever been a more apt soundtrack than Death Metal? The whole world appears plunged into perhaps the closest thing to a zombie apocalypse this earth is ever likely to see. Although truth… Continue Reading →

Slaughter Messiah – Cursed to the Pyre (High Roller)

Belgium’s deadly thrashers…a statement of fact from the PR material. Their earlier material has made waves for myself and I could not wait to hear their new output. One thing that is a touch missing is the large striking band… Continue Reading →

Bütcher – 666 Goats Carry My Chariot (Osmose)

Do we ever stop musically evolving? Yes and no, I think that there are certainly those who stagnate and cease to indulge in anything new in as much as even later albums from the bands they enjoy. Yet to counter… Continue Reading →
