One of the best demos I've listened to lately comes from Romania. Death metal from the grave, with a creepy feeling, that's how I would describe this very interesting and addictive release. The band guilty for this little underground treasure is Rotheads and the demo is titled Unfazed by Death. Released (until now) in a... Continue Reading →

Everything on this demo is made to choke you, from the atmosphere, to the instruments and music. Not to speak of the cover, which is amazingly scarry, but does not disclose what happens...

I first heard (and bought) "Povestiri din Gara" a long time ago. This album was released in 1992 by the now defunct Romanian record company Electrecord, responsible for the releases (on vinyl, mostly) of all the Romanian artists before and after the events from December 1989. Cargo is a band that was born somewhere in... Continue Reading →
It's mid-October and Akral Necrosis have just released several days ago their second full length, "Underlight", on the Romanian label Loud Rage Music. The follow up to "Pandemic Dominion", which saw the light of day as an independent release 4 years ago, "Underlight" represents the coming of age of this talented Romanian black metal band....

Over the years, many good bands have released fantastic albums everybody appreciated and many good bands have released albums that, even though were very good, became underrated and succumbed into oblivion. Everybody knows that in the middle of the 90's, black metal was sweeping across Scandinavia in particular and Europe in general like a black... Continue Reading →
