Surprisingly the band’s self-titled debut did much better on the charts and with the fans than Sepultura’s… Read More Soulfly – Soulfly

Marduk finally,finally have some real competition in the "faster than death"-race for the coveted speed cup.Sweden’s Setherial marches into the lands where originality and extreme speed reigns supreme! a great contribution in making the album even more brutal is the presence of Themgoroth(Dark Funeral) as sessions screamer,his influences of Dark funeral very evident and helping… Read More Setherial – Hell Eternal
Why Tom Angelripper felt it was so necessary to explore the punk side of metal for so many years,when Sodoms claim to fame was firmly entrenched in classic thrash metal splendor,seems strange to me.Code Red is a triumphant return to form, this album should have been a follow up to Tapping The Vein( even though… Read More Sodom – Code Red

Originally formed in 1983,Necrophagia began as an entirely different beast than the 1999/2000 version.Although the main characteristics of the original incarnation are still present (Killjoy’s-sick vox and the abundance of gore/horror elements and influsions),the band has taken on a different sound and presence in Holocausto.., with the exception of the re-release of the classic Seasons… Read More Necrophagia – Holocausto De La Morte
