The Chasm - The Scars Of A Lost Reflective Shadow

<p>The Chasm was born back in 1992 after frontman Daniel Corchado left his previous band, which many of you will know, Mexican by the name Cenotaph. The musical path of the old band was going a bit narrow to the needs and desire to go in new directions of good old Daniel.

Rebel Souls - Dawn Of Depravity

These Inhuman Depravity are no exception, who with the new "The Experimendead" really take a leap forward and put themselves in the list to become a r...

Casket Grinder - Sepulchral Trip

<p>Great pure death metal band directly from Colombia.

Absentation - Reflections

<p>For the first time I hear about a band from Syria, certainly a country not really inclined to accept a certain kind of mentality that lies behind a metal band. From the information I found online, Absentation were the first Syrian death metal band to release an album.</p><p>Project born from the minds of the multi-instrumentalist Salah Alghalaye...

Gorge Of War - Black Webs And Angelsex

<p>Black Webs And Angelsex is the first official full length for this Netherlands one man band Gorge Of War. A project by MVG that deals with all the instruments.

Heaving Earth - Darkness Of God

<p>Heaving Earth, at least for the writer, are one of the few extreme bands that have made consistency their daily modus operandi. Regardless of the fashions or the commercialization that some strands of death metal are going through in recent years, Heaving Earth continue to propose themselves with their personal music. Innovative, acrobatic, visi...
