I don't know if this has been done deliberately or it's just pure coincidence, but it seems to me that Lifvsleda has made a habit of releasing an album every two years, which is an absolute joy for guys like me, who truly love this band. Lifvsleda is one of my favorite bands out there... Continue Reading →
The moment Europe Ablaze Tour 2024 was announced last December by Goetia Productions, I knew I had to be on 2 of its dates to see the legendary Unpure and the maniacs from Xalpen sharing the stage together. I couldn't believe it that after 33 years of activity Unpure will embark on such a tour.... Continue Reading →
I recently got a promo in my mailbox which instantly caught my attention, due to its bold and "arrogant" description:" “Poisonous Metal” is a homage to the black metal renaissance of the 2000s, the so-called orthodox current – resonating with the spirit of notable acts like Malign, Watain, and Ofermod.

If you are familiar with this page you know that here at SoD, when it comes to extreme metal, I really enjoy discovering new things. One of these surprises that I recently found in my mailbox is Jordfäst's first album, "Hädanefter". The band hails from Sweden (yes!) and the review below is dedicated to this... Continue Reading →
Escumergamënt: a name still unknown to many but which I am sure will spread like wildfire pretty soon. This mysterious Swedish band basically came out of nowhere in 2020 and on the 12th of March AB released its debut album, "...ni degu fazentz escumergamënt e mesorga..." on the Italian label Avantgarde Music. Since the band's essence... Continue Reading →
I remember how excited I was when I first heard Leviathan's "Far Beyond the Light" CD in 2002. Back in the day this record was one of those true underground gems which I appreciated a lot. Even today, after so many years, when I go back to that album, I am still amazed how good... Continue Reading →
