Throne Of Flesh is a newly formed Italian old school death metal band. They were formed during summer 2018 by Flavio Tempesta (guitars), Giuseppe Tato Tatangelo (bass) and Joseph Di Po...

I have always loved demos eversince the cassette tape era. Tape trading was my personal teacher for finding new music. The dubbed cassette tapes from friends' records or other cassette tapes (sometimes dubbed) may lowered the sound, but increased my agony to discover new music. The shitty radio show recordings I was trying to make avoiding the comm...

The album begins with bell chimes. A sick melody over the sound of the wind takes on what I would call an eerie/mystical intro. 'Into The Darkness' thrashes till death. Crawling underneath ripping death'n'roll riffs, the vocals are convincing. There is a nice break with emphatic mid tempo riffs. The riff changes are overall very nice and the band s...

Malum is a black metal ensemble from Finland and "Legion" is their 3rd full length album. "Legion" could be described as an album that paves in the ways of northern European black metal as it was shaped in the 90's. Cold, frigid and misanthropically distant from humanity. However, Malum seem to be closer to the mid-late 90's sound. They sometime...

It is a common sense that although death metal remained fresh from its birthtime until now, incorporating new elements/styles to be refreshed, over the last years there has been a serious attempt for an old school death metal revival. There has been an increased amount of bands that pay tribute to the old school death metal and its sickening ways;...

Violentor come from Italy and "Putrid Stench" is their 4th full length album. Their style is a significantly punk influenced thrash/crossover. They seem to appreciate thrash titans like early Sepultura (check out for example the opening track 'The Escalation') and Slayer ('Butcher The Holy Swine' took me back to "God Hates Us All" days), but at the...

Heavy metal will never die! Hailing from Canada, Riot City released their debut album "Burn The Night" through "No Remorse Records". After a spacey intro the opening riff of 'Warrior Of Time' is 'Somewhere in Time' influenced with an American 80's heavy metal touch. Cale Savy's vocals owe a lot to the Metal God Rob Halford and especially to his...

Extreme metal started out in the 80s as an extreme form of music expression. Its aggressiveness, heaviness and lyrical approach were unearthly. At that time extreme metal genres were not divided. Most of the times they were united under the labels "thrash metal" or "speed metal". Death metal appeared with bands like Possessed, Slayer and Hellhammer...

4 years after "Tentacles Of Horror" the unholy alliance of Dave Rotten (Avulsed, Christ Denied... to name a few) from Spain and Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Ribspreader, Johansson & Speckmann, to name even fewer... ) from Sweden, strike back with a split 7" vinyl with Grim Fate from The Netherlands. Putrevore side 'Titan Towers Submerged' con...

Aftermath were formed in 1985. Back in 1994 Aftermath had already a strong presence in the metal scene mixing old-school crossover thrash and technical/progressive metal. Their debut album "Eyes of Tomorrow" that was released that very year (but was recorded in 1990) is an underrated classic. Their previous demos are impressive and deservingly were...

Have you ever wondered how would it sound if you mixed the raw ugly British punk fury and antisocial themes of Discharge with the south american unholiness and blasphemy of Sarcófago? Disfago tried it. And it worked. Punk, proto-black riffs with tons of noise, thrash metal and vocals with echo and screams all put to blender with a really nice outc...
