The third leg of the March of Blood and Iron Tour 2018 stopped in Budapest Friday,the 4th of May. Having already seen the 3 bands present on the bill before - Infernal War, Ragnarok and Marduk - I decided to go to the venue (Supersonic Blue Hell) out of curiosity and why not, for a...

Spite – Antimoshiach cd review – April 2018 AB
I made my first audio contact with Spite after I listened to the promo I got for the release of their first full length, "Antimoshiach", which came out a couple of months ago on the Irish label Invictus Productions. I am usually quite reluctant when it comes to black metal made in USA (I hate... Continue Reading →
Tormentor – The Return – Anno Domini XXX – Live in Budapest, 21st of April 2018 AB
During the 80's, the extreme music scene was not so popular in the Central/Eastern part of Europe, compared to what happened in the democratic West. But somewhere around 1985 a young band named Tormentor popped its ugly little head from the Hungarian underground and without knowing it, they became in a couple of years a... Continue Reading →
Malakhim – Demo I review March 2018 AB
One of the best debut demo tapes released last year comes from Sweden, of course. Umea to be exact, the birth place of Malakhim, the new band in town when it comes to black metal. Released first in October 2017 on the band's Bandcamp page, Demo I gained immediately a "cult" status in the black... Continue Reading →
SVOID – Live at Dark Conspiracy – S8 BLACK – February 17th 2018 AB
Last weekend, when the 11 killed the 10, Svoid performed another show in the series which occurred since their rebirth. Even if the setting and the company were a bit peculiar (the other 2 bands present on the bill came from a totally different musical background), it was still a very good opportunity for them...

Watain – Trident Wolf Eclipse album review January 2018 AB
When you have been active for 20 years, you have released a bunch of classic black metal albums and you have experimented with different musical approaches, what would you do, in 2018, when you're about to release your 6th full length? That's right, you go back to your roots, with an even stronger will and... Continue Reading →
GOATKRAFT – ANGEL SLAUGHTER REVIEW – IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS 2018 AB
Hailing from Norway, Goatkraft delivers a completely different style of metal of death, not choosing to be a part of the so called traditional True Norwegian Black Metal cliché. Rather than walking the already wandered paths, they chose to honor Satan by taking even farther the primitive torch of barbaric and hateful black metal, just... Continue Reading →
Svoid live at Sea Of Sorrow – Durer Kert, Budapest – 28.12.2017 AB
If the alchemical process of turning metal into gold could be applied in music, then Svoid would be the perfect example for this occult experiment. After releasing 2 full lengths and 2 EPs while deeply rooted in black metal in particular and extreme metal in general, the hungry wolves from Svoid decided some months ago... Continue Reading →
SVOID – Ars Kha review – October 2017 AB
6 years ago, the Hungarian entity called Svoid appeared from the mists of Null for the first time. Its sharp toothed mouth gnawed slowly on the pillars of knowledge and death, releasing from the hungry void 5 darkened hymns. Ars Kha was unleashed as an independent release hence its limited availability on the market. Those... Continue Reading →
Ultimate Revelation – An Interview with Sektarism – September 2017 AB
Several months ago, before the release of Sektarism's latest album "La Mort de L'Infidèle" I sent Eklezjas’tik BerZerK an invitation for an interview. Fortunately, he agreed to answer my questions so what you have here is final result: a very interesting discussion about his bands, his projects, Les Apôtres de L'Ignominie, religion, faith etc. A...
