BEZERKER
It was quite a surprise for me, when Awakening Records decided to re-release Bezerker from Australia. But what a pleasant one – band unknown to me (and I guess that to many other readers as well) turned out to be a pure, hidden gem of technical thrash. I didn’t want to waste any time […]
SEXMAG- Sex Metal Promo MC 26/30 2020r
SEXMAG- Sex Metal Promo MC 26/30 2020r Well, it all started off when the band uploaded their promo track on the web. I was stunned, to say the least. Damn, it’s been literally years since I have gotten so impressed with such raw music like this very promo. Indeed, this is very deeply […]
APOSTASY- Death Return CD Fallen Temple 2021
We happen to be living in strange times, when all the life has somewhat slowed down…Well, it`ll surely let us have a breather; we are too hasty and always in a hurry – heading towards total doom. On the flip side, the restrictions and limitations of the present do not make our life any […]
FUNERAL VISION
Well, I have been dealing with “music archeology” for some time now… lest we forget top bands from our domestic underground. There have indeed been so many great bands who`ve disappeared in the seas of oblivion. One of these precious gems are FUNERAL VISION from Cracow; they released just one recording and vanished […]
CELTIC FROST MANIA
I consider myself a truly lucky guy, since I grew up in the years when the metal music started to evolve into more expressive forms, bringing forth new styles to the genre. I can still recollect the time when I was anxiously waiting for Muzyka Mlodych or Metalowe Tortury radio shows, in which, from time to time, new, more […]
BATHORY – BORN IN ETERNAL FIRE Act I
BATHORY is among the bands most important to me, and stands for the group that have formed and shaped my music taste. I will never forget how excited I was when I listened to their music for the first time: it was so full of darkness and mystical aura. Yes, their music is so suffused […]
LEGIONEM- Sator Omnia Noctem CD Metal on Metal 2020
If you like DEATH SS or PAUL CHAIN, then I am more than sure you`ll like LEGIONEM from Italy, too. In short, these tracks are just amazing. Sator Omnia Noctem is their second album and though they formed just back in 2016, they have been capable of creating a truly masterful vibe, so close to […]
CHAINBREÄKER -Relentless Night CD Metal on Metal 2020
CHAINBREÄKER come from Austria and this is their second album to date. A truly speed/thrash assault, indeed. I will tell you I can’tremember when I was last so impressed with a particular album. These sounds are just suffused with untamed energy and very pleasant to listen to. Heavily influenced by old-school metal, these guys are […]
BATHORY – UNDER THE SIGN OF THE BLACK MARK – LP 1987 UNDER ONE FLAG
Undeniably, The Return will always remain BATHORY`s most powerful album…yet, Under the Sign of the Black is very important as well; for thousands of black metal hordes, thisfull-time recordinghas become, in many ways, the blueprint for how black metal music ought to be performed. Side A (Darkness Side) starts off with a dark intro […]
