"Hunter of silence Awakened... Wary thine eye In the dark". Who would have thought that in 2017 Ulf Theodor Schwadorf will bring Sun of the Sleepless back from the dark slumber in which it fell in 2004 and will return with their first full length in 18 years of bizarre existence? I was more than... Continue Reading →
Osculum Infame – “Axis of Blood” review June 2017 AB
France has always been a serious provider of good quality extreme metal bands and during the years more and more bands formed to spread the gospel of the lord.

el Camino – Cursed Congregation album review – Night Tripper Records June 2017 AB
When I heard that this year el Camino will release their third full length after a four years absence I was very hyped because I really love this Swedish group and their cursed doom they’re playing.

Sektarism – La Mort de L’Infidèle album review June 2017 AB
Many years ago, a Swedish band issued a bold statement that their music was the "audial essence of pure evil". This might have been correct 25 years ago, but now, in 2017, this statement is no longer true. One of the few bands which this sentence can apply to 100% is Sektarism and their sick...

Pagan Megalith – Viharjárás – Neverheard Distro 2016 AB
As I already mentioned it in the previous Pagan Megalith review, before recording the second album in 2010, the band decided to sleep the sleep of death for an unlimited period of time. In 2016 they awakened from their silent slumber and their long awaited album "Viharjárás" (Stormburst) was finally released. In February 2017 Neverheard... Continue Reading →
Pagan Megalith – Ólomharangok album review – Neverheard Distro 2010
Pagan Megalith is a not a new band, but if we think that in 13 years of activity (with 6 years of hiatus) they have released only 2 albums, we might consider them a young band. But what makes this group really special are the skills and the musicianship of its members. On one hand... Continue Reading →
Bathsheba – “Servus” album review – Svart Records – March 2017 AB
בַּת שֶׁ֫בַע, the biblical character that drove King David nuts when he saw her bathing has reincarnated into a sinister entity which has seduced many listeners with its cursed music. Hailing from Belgium, Bathsheba is in a way the new kid on the metal scene, despite the years of service of its members who play... Continue Reading →

The time has come for Sincarnate to release their sophomore album, In Nomine Homini, on their old trusty companion Hatework .

6 years after their self debut EP, Venenum are back. This time with a vengeance. One of the most awaited albums of 2017, for me at least, is about to be released tomorrow, the 17th of March, via the mighty Sepulchral Voice Records.
