Police State - Mind Collapse
At first I thought, that is another crappy crustband as there already exist thousands. Unfortunately, this impression finally came true. And this is sad, because I like the attitude they have. But step by step. The band whose album "Mind Collapse" I'm listening to is called Police State and was founded in 2013 in Pennsylvania. The band describes...

The Hellevator - The Prophecy
In 2014 I made a review for a newcomer band called The Hellevator. I think, because I made a review which told you that you should buy their stuff…now I should make another one for them. Ok, no problem. Especially because I got their new record for free, hehe. The new one is called “The Prophecy” and was recorded in the middle of 2015 at Pressko...

Gutalax - Shit Happens
Gutalax, Czech Gore'n'roll band, has done it again. The men around singer Maty have produced their second album called "Shit Happens" after the band was founded in 2009. They recorded shit 26 times and then simply called the album "Shit Happens". But it not quite is. In almost 30 minutes of playing time, there are 26 songs with the typical sound of...

Subterror - Antropomortum
There are so many great Brazilian bands. The Crust punk band Subterror are not among them. Active since 2009, they have now produced their fourth output. The title: "Antropomortum". Subterror, Luan (bass/vocals), Harry (guitar) and Samuel (drums), have spend a lot of money for “Antropomortum”. Recorded in July 2014 in the C1 Audio Studio (Brasília/...

Mindful Of Pripyat - And Deeper I Drown In Doom
Disc done in the CD-Player and thought, what's that? This can be anything! I hear a very simplistic intro. It could be from a horror movie. Ghostly noises come out of the box. 30 almost endless and agonizing seconds waiting for a start of the disk and that the intro may come to an end. The end is coming and then ..... wow ... what a board! And we t...

Entera - The Pit Is Ours
Many people say there are no more originals. Mostly this statement is true even but there are exceptions. Exceptions like Entera from Nuremberg/Germany. A band that exists around band founder Carsten since 1990 in the underground and there is no reason why they had been no real breakthrough. 2015 have Entera thrown a new ep called "The Pit Is Ours"...

Analkholic - After Party Shit Stinks
Do you know the town of Noumea? No? But you know where New Caledonia lies? Neither? Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with you? Are you really an fucking ignorant? Well. I feel sorry for you, and explain it to you. Caledonia is located in the South Pacific, east of Australia and Noumea is the capital. With around 250,000 inhabitants, New Caledonia is...

The Hellevator – Abysmal
The Hellevator with their EP “Abysmal”, which was published in May 2014, have all middle fingers in the air, one hand in the step and still hands free to make extremely good mid-tempo death metal. The band, which is on the road since 2008, thrown a real piece of metal by “Abysmal” in the round. Although the intro (1:23 min) initially quite anoth...

Disminded - Out Of The Ashes
"Out Of The Ashes" is the title of the disc that is currently running in my CD player. And it seems, because of this disc, that good Deathmetal is reborn from the ashes. But slowly. The band's name is Disminded. Disminded was founded in 2009 in Wesel. "Out Of The Ashes", published in March 2015 within seven Songs (33 min.) is their second output wh...

Degenerhate - Chronicles Of The Apocalypse
The second output by a band that has existed for 13 years since 2002? And the first output was an EP in 2005? Fuck, these guys from the capital of Italy take their time or they simply want to make it right. First things first. It seems that they want to make it right but my first impression was that this debut-album would be one of many others, bec...

Mass Idolatry - Impure
That Italians can produce good music was already proved by bands like Cripple Bastards or Corpsefucking Art. But these bands did not reach the Grind-Olympus. This could be changed soon. Mass Idolatry could be the first band from Italy which reach the Grind-Olympus. Their debut album "Impure", released in September 2014 is damn close to it. The four...

Bolesno Grinje - Chronicles From The Tomb
Oh – old grenades. Or better – old atomic bombs. This is Bolesno Grinje which everyone knows now I hope. At least everyone who listening to hard metal. Bolesno Grinje is exist since 2000 and published seven albums until now. The latest publication now turns on my turntable: "Chronicles From The Tomb". I had high expectations. Because Bolesno Gri...
