Frankfurt’s obscure entity ‘Schmitz’s promo cover reveals ‘We have 20 songs and play one hour for gas, food and a place to sleep’. Out of these 4 make it to the promo Singer/ bassist Sandra’s 4-piece act. Her ability peaks, punching away most regional blues, as she’s extreme prolific even with the. local language. The… Read More Schmerz – Promo 2004
The skies have exploded, water-level scales a high and I am swept off, and when my mind takes such a state, the destruction has to be immense. That’s the way I feel once I start spinning Throcult.The band that emancipates a storm, that’s unraveled and wild. Stormbringer-Conjuration of the nighthorde is an album that combines… Read More Throcult – Stormbringer : Conjuration Of The Nighthorde
FALLEN WORLD – OUR PROTEST- Yes! I protest! I protest against this garbage!!!! I am at a loss for words to explain these 12 so called angry socio-political grind tracks, which fall flat on their face right from the start! FMD is a real cool label releasing great grind/noise and I don’t know how this… Read More Fallen World/Fight Back – Our Protest/Believe In Yourself
BASKET OF DEATH – Cybergrind attack here with everything in lo-fi! Great choice of lengthy samples from Japanese brutal/s&m animation/films maybe and am sure even non-Japanese speakers will enjoy the filth! Nothing more to write about this but if you’re a connoisseur for cybergrind with a Nippon twist, you’ll love this! PRINCESS ARMY WEDDING COMBAT… Read More Basket Of Death/Princess Army Wedding Combat – Split CD
Go anywhere on the planet, you find most death metal bands innovating their style. Because, everyone realizes you can have a CC, Death, Obituary and Morbid angel once in an era. This, innovation driven movement has in fact produced remarkable results examining the likes of Nile or Hate Eternal. THE! Bands that have successfully imbibed… Read More Hypnosis – Cyber Death
Sweden is a synonymous in any extreme metallers thesaurus. And, it gives me a unique high whenever I lay my hands on any stuff from the Scandinavian land (be it old or new). The biggest strength of the bands from this country is to create an intense sound that’s thoroughly refined. Uncover ‘Vicious’. Their music… Read More Vicious – Vile, Vicious & Victorious
Another assault from South America and I like this mainly because of the slightly rough production, the high pitch vocals are fun like a pig struggling at a abattoir and the low end gurgles are pretty good as well with some neat variations which make this album really good, straight in your face fast riffs… Read More Nihil Obstat – Inherited Primitive Behaviours
Now what do I call this.. brutal Satanic slamming technical brutal Death Metal??? The thing that came to mind when the first track was over is, I have heard this all before! Off late alot of talented South American bands are churning out this style of Death metal, a wave that I feel Internal Suffering… Read More Carnal – True Blasphemy
FETUS EATERS (Vomitcore): I had already checked this band out earlier and i guessed what’s being served up when i got this CD to review! The split CD starts off with 21 searing tracks and this reminds me more than anyone but the allmighty Anal Cunt. Most of the track titles also ring of heavy… Read More Fetus Eaters/Brainchoke – Vomitcore/Microchipped And Mindcontrolled
I must acknowledge that this is the finest packaged self-release by an Indian band up till now. And, I hope the rest follow the Bangalore brigade, in this department. The intellect carried by ‘intellectual pursuit’ shines throughout the ten-track release. The four-piece construct an innovative sound, best described as flat riffing (a bit misdirected) slowly… Read More Shrapnel – Intellectual Pursuit
This is an utter surprise that an Indian band’s debut is a live one. Any band on the planet would record a live album only when they have already recorded a couple of solid albums. Not in this case. Though, Threinody have been around for some six years but this release may dismay most of… Read More Threinody – Live At AMC College
