What a surprise as one day suddenly a CD from Bolivia was in my mailbox. So far I had only known one band from there, LILITH, and their debut CD was a pretty positive surprise. Even though I really liked them, I still approached ESTERTOR's "Between Silence And Light"…

Every once in a while you come across a album that will just blow you away and jog your memory of why you became a metalhead to begin with. Such is the case with Esqarial, the band seems to be on a mission to help restore death metal as kings of the throne much like…

Before I go too far, I'll mention this is some of the very first death metal I heard. I have enjoyed this album since 2005 and it has not moved too far away from my top 10 list.

As the band name suggests, these guys play a style of technical and progressive death metal very similar to that of Death and a gaze over the tracklist shows this too, with song names like 'Keeper of Pain' and 'I…

This is an album that is sure to stand against the test of time. Just listen to the opening track Martyrdoom, which is an instrumental track of gigantic proportions. From the very first riff there’s a haunting aura present, and as the drumming sets in it’s like…

Epidemic is one of the most underrated bands as far as US thrash and death metal go. I checked out Exit Paradise before this album, but Decameron really destroys the latter, and…

What can one expect from an album called Shoutout To Satan? A laughable black metal band that tries way too hard to sound dark and evil? An uninspired parody of modern metal? As you can tell, I didn’t have high hopes when I decided to…

Crionics is very often said to be inspired by EMPEROR - and that is generally the reason why I have interested in this band. The music is a crossover of black and death metal plus keyboards - and that makes…
