For all you folks who have not heard of this band before, Christ Denied is a two-man project from Spain, with ex-Intoxication member David Nigger playing all the instruments (guitar, bass and programming) and Dave Rotten from Avulsed doing the vocals, absolutely without any effects, which is hard to believe!! His vocals sound like terminal… Read More Christ Denied – Drink…Drink The Blood
The bio received with the cd, states the origin of Cropment occurred in 1999,with Stephan Fehr on guitar, Claudio Furrer (drums), and Adrian Vogel (G). Hence,”Spiral of violence” is band’s overdue debut, having a total spinning time of approx 47 mins with eleven tracks on board. These are extremely well packaged in terms of cover,… Read More Cropment – Spiral Of Violence
Demonic Resurrection – Frozen Portrait Having heard the live version before this, I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with this studio version. The sound is absolutely power metallish, something that was not at all apparent when I heard them live. Sahil’s vocals also sound very strange on this track, for some reason… Read More Various – Resurrection – The Best Of Indian Extreme Metal
Whosoever has heard ‘Abaddon Incarnate’ before would know how closely the band symbolizes the word ‘Extreme’. ‘Dark crusade’ their latest offering is packaged with 16 tracks (weapons), (band is known to put quite a lot of songs on their albums) of mass destruction. The average playing time on each song increases compared to the older… Read More Abaddon Incarnate – Dark Crusade
It’s been almost six years since Bangalore based Kryptos got together and strived hard to create original, thought provoking music. The realization of putting there well-worked material on an album comes true with "Spiral Ascent’. The ten-track nerve wrecking effort that’s worth a wait by the quartet that outspokenly defines their music as "heavy metal… Read More Kryptos – Spiral Ascent
Erik Rutan (one of the death metal greats) producing a band is undoubtedly the greatest stamp of approval for their musical fitness (band). And the net thing to wish for! Colombian death metal legends Masacre live this through their latest work Total death. Eight solid tracks present on this one by no means bow down… Read More Masacre – Total Death
I was highly apprehensive when I picked up this, the debut offering from the Bombay-based black metal band, Fate (Roshan-Vox, bass; Nitin-Guitars; Hitesh-Drums). Black Metal has become more "happening" now and the band also had history of death metal, so I was pretty worried about the final outcome. Thankfully I was not disappointed. First of… Read More Fate – Lead Us To Darkness
I would start off saying I am the wrong reviewer for this album. Since its music is not my cup of tea. Still, I will try to get into the skin of an old school power/heavy metal fan and review the album from their perspective. The 10 track record ‘Metal church’ (namely reminds of a… Read More Wayne – Metal Church
Siksakubur is a brutal death metal band from Indonesia, and I think this is a re-release of their demo from 2000. The most immediate frame of reference I could think of while listening to this was Canada’s Hidden Pride. But I doubt that many of you would have heard of them, so let me say… Read More Siksakubur – The Carnage
These guys seem to be a very confused bunch. Looking at their artwork and song titles you would expect some gory brutal death metal, yet when you look at the picture of these five masked guys, you’ll see one guy sporting a Dimmu Borgir tee and also attired in spike belts. Then you listen to… Read More Bunuh – The Torso Killers
Carcass Grinder from Japan plays some intense and catchy grindcore. The sound is very raw and is definitely a very lo-fi recording. The vocals make the music sound more chaotic than it actually is with a lot of drawn out snarls and screams. According to the cd inlay, there are five members contributing to the… Read More Carcass Grinder/Demisor – Doyoulovegrind Pt.3
Cranial Incisored (Indonesia) are aiming to be a mixture of Cenotaph (Turkey) like grind with the technical eccentricity of Cephalic Carnage. Ambitious as that may sound, the guitarist does a great job of coming up with some complicated riff structures and weird time signatures. In fact, some of this stuff is so convoluted I initially… Read More Cranial Incisored – Experimental Minds Of Instability
