I came upon Hamvak some time ago when I blindly purchased their S/T demo tape, released in 2017. I did't know too much about the band at that time, but I later found out that the main guy behind this project is D, an active musician playing in several Hungarian underground bands (Earth Plague, Ghoul...

Holt is a Hungarian mysterious entity, part of the Bone Chapel Collective circle, together with fellow country mates OS, Tomb Portal and Zurkulet. The debut demo of this anonymous congregation was released about a year ago in digital format and on pro tape (limited to 150 copies) later in October 2024, via the German label... Continue Reading →

While suffering from a slight form of nostalgia, throughout this year I focused my listening habits mainly on old school bands, like stuff I grew up with or listened a lot during my youth/teenage...

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 →
It seems that the Hungarian extreme metal underground is never resting and, when you least expect it, brilliant releases surface from its depths. If last time I wrote about Mistcavern's excellent "Winds of Misery" debut demo, now I will present you another surprising band, Ghoul Temple, which has released its first material on the 24th...

Passio Christi / Beyond the Witch's Spell contains a split between Belgium's fierce... Continue Reading →
Last Saturday, on the 23rd of November, 14 metalheads from 4 bands in league with Satan attacked and desecrated the little Supersonic Blue Hell Club in Budapest's 3rd district. No bodies were discovered at the venue, but those who managed to get home on their feet are still marked by what happened that night. But... Continue Reading →
