Its interesting, to review a band from Germany hooked to Swedish metal sound. I think Germany has had its share of greats (Sodom, Kreator), forging a typical German cult metal; therefore probability is these guys thought- let’s touch upon the Scandinavian shores (which must huge influence!). If you have been into At the gates era… Read More Soul Demise – In Vain

Our readers would like to know a brief history and playing style of the band? Well the original DR was born in 2000 with a different lineup. The bands style then was roughly a mix between gothic/doom and thrash/death metal. Since we were all very young the music was pretty simple and amateurish even. We… Read More Interview with Demonic Resurrection

It’s been almost six years since Bangalore based Kryptos got together and strived hard to create original, thought provoking music. The realization of putting there well-worked material on an album comes true with "Spiral Ascent’. The ten-track nerve wrecking effort that’s worth a wait by the quartet that outspokenly defines their music as "heavy metal… Read More Kryptos – Spiral Ascent
These guys seem to be a very confused bunch. Looking at their artwork and song titles you would expect some gory brutal death metal, yet when you look at the picture of these five masked guys, you’ll see one guy sporting a Dimmu Borgir tee and also attired in spike belts. Then you listen to… Read More Bunuh – The Torso Killers
The name "Black tear" would generally escort a band playing gothic or even doom metal music. This band comes from the hellpits of Barcelona – Spain & have made their presence in the underground scene, having their songs included in one of the Spanish compilations " BLOODY COMPILATION III ". I would categorize their music… Read More Black Tear – Live
This is the debut offering from the 5-piece S.E.Asian outfit. Spanning about 40 minutes and 8 songs, the album is a melodic death metal offering, with a very strong similarity to the "Gothenburg" sound. I was introduced to the band because there are a few Rudra members working here and they’re on the same label… Read More Kaliyuga – 14/07
My first reaction on hearing the whole album was that these guys are probably South American brothers of Sahil a.k.a. Demonstealer (of Demonic Resurrection, India.). In other words they are also trying to make Melodic Black Metal with lots of other influences like Death, Doom etc. The album kicks off in a damn impressive way.… Read More Incarnatus – Sinfonia De Hades
My how this band changed. I don’t even recognize them anymore. While not entirely innovative on their last album, Bloody Blasphemy, they created a wonderful blend of melodic death, thrash with a small, minute amount of black metal and their songwriting was just perfect all around. They had a well-oiled machine going. Now what? They’ve… Read More God Dethroned – Ravenous
This new 90s metal outburst in countries overseas lately has produced some excellent outfits:Emperor,In Flames, Hypocrisy, Opeth…I could go on forever. But the problem is, once a movement starts, the amount of copycats and half-inspired groups tend to make it bland, and many mediocre releases start appearing. Some of the death/thrash/power/black metal releases I have… Read More God Dethroned – Bloody Blasphemy
