Änterbila is a band (a duo, in fact) hailing from Sweden (what a surprise, right??). Earlier this year they released their first demo material simply called Demo 2020, which has been recently transferred to a physical format - tape, to be more precise - by the Swedish label Void In The Vast Empire. To start with,... Continue Reading →
As already mentioned in the review I wrote for the band's debut EP, on the 11th of September AB the Swedish mysterious entity that is Lifvsleda will release its first full length called Det Besegrade Lifvet. According to the official press release, the album will again come out via Shadow Records (marketed by Regain Records),... Continue Reading →
What is this? Another demo tape, another old school band. And most important, another Swedish band. I have discovered Eternal Evil only recently but I already love it. I honestly do not know what's going on in Sweden, but it seems there's an ever-flowing stream of talented individuals who create the perfect type of aggressive... Continue Reading →
When it comes to funeral doom, things are pretty easy, the way I see it: you either love it or hate it, there is no in-between. This extreme musical genre has the advantage that it can only be enjoyed (strange way to put it) when you are in certain moods, that way you can fully... Continue Reading →
I received the promo for this material some time ago but after listening to it a couple of times I decided to let it aside a bit. Recently I have picked it up again and gave it a thorough and proper listen. For those who do not know, this EP (or demo?) has been released... Continue Reading →
16 years have passed since the release of one the most underrated and beautiful black metal albums. I am talking of course about Armagedda’s third full length, “Ond Spiritism”, an album that, among others, represents the true essence of what I call black metal. That record was the last Armagedda ever released and soon after the... Continue Reading →
Ond Vind is a new Swedish band hailing from the port city of Malmö. On the 17th of June they released their debut "Demo" tape (limited to 50 pieces, already sold out by now) via Ropes & Bones, the same label who released Transilvania's debut full length, "The Night of Nights". If this demo had come... Continue Reading →
"Deadly Black Doom" is the 3rd Head of the Demon album and closes a circle which has started 8 years ago, with the S/T album. For those who have not yet listened to this latest release (it came out on the 30th of April via Invictus Productions/The Ajna Offensive), I urge you not to be... Continue Reading →
The review you are about to read below is the most unusual I have ever written so far. It is not for an actual concert I attended in person, but for a performance I witnessed from home, in the sweet confinement of my apartment. The occasion was Necrophobic's live streamed performance from the Harry B... Continue Reading →
I have always admired the artists (especially those coming from the extreme metal spectrum) who were able to have a larger picture and look at things, musically speaking, a bit outside the box. It's a well known fact that metal, and especially black metal, can be a very close environment, where those who had a... Continue Reading →
