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 →
It's not every day that I get to review a death metal release here on these virtual pages. That does not mean that I don't like this particular genre, but I am very picky when it comes to it. I grew up with the old school bands from Tampa, then I discovered the Swedish sound... Continue Reading →

Towards the end of August, the same promo came out as a self released tape, limited to... Continue Reading →

My enthusiasm was sky high, so after writing a short review that you can find here, I also contacted the band to find out more about their... Continue Reading →

When the scorching heat is melting the air around you and when the music you need to review is as slow and depressive as an army of snails, then you're simply doomed. But with the help of a cold...

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 →
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 →
