Scorn - Winds Of Torment - CDD

Scorn – Winds Of Torment – CDD

SCORN’s album Winds of Torment is, as the cover shows, a crude digest of hatred and violence, of contempt for humanity and the whole human race.Through the ten tracks that make up the album, the listener will be led to take part in various paintings of hate and death, revenge, envy, suicidal thoughts, mental destruction, deep doubt and shattered ambition with only the bright light of hatred and utter contempt for hope in humanity as its guide. Are you ready to see your primary ...

Post-Mortem - The Monumental Pandemonium - CDD

Post-Mortem – The Monumental Pandemonium – CDD

The second album “The Monumental Pandemonium” is relentless and furious. First of all, the sound of the guitar is absolutely huge! The two guitarists, Samuel Clauss and Jack Ruetsch, hammer the listener with a mixture of heavy as hell, but melodic riffs. The drums have a natural sound which adds the organic aspect of the album. Laurent Greder is a machine behind the kit. Pierre Mohn’s punchy bass performance is the perfect match between guitars and drums. It keeps everything tight and solid. Its ...

John The Baptist - John The Baptist - CD

John The Baptist – John The Baptist – CD

Music of John the Baptist is slow and heavy like the rumblings of the earth. Their message is grand and grim. Here presented are six tracks each an epic of a song in itself. They are sad tales ranging from primordial floods to the devastation looming in the future. Tales of the templar knights, mischievous shamans and self-discovery through crushing depression into a warrior out of time. You know, all the good stuff. Devoid of all the trends, of retro pastiches and lukewarm empowerment. Heavy ...

Abaddon Incarnate -The Wretched Sermon (8-Panel Glow-In-The-Dark Effect Digipak)

Abaddon Incarnate -The Wretched Sermon (8-Panel Glow-In-The-Dark Effect Digipak)

Having been active since the ’90s, Irish grindcore/death metal legends have only perfected their sound over the years, creating a quintessential blend of both the styles. They’ve come a long way from their explosive, highly caustic album ‘Nadir’ that put them on the map and have since then imbibed more death metal influences to improve upon their expression, adding better structure and nuance to their music. On their latest full length, their sixth, they’ve expanded upon their sound like never ...

With the free-spirited, unhinged approach bordering on seeming frivolous, there is in fact a method to this madness; everything is meticulously thought out and written for maximum effectiveness.There is a reason this release feels like an unabated rush from start to finish, with the momentum only snowballing as it progresses. The performances are top notch, as ...

Ernia – How To Deal With Life And Fail 8-Panel Glow-In-The-Dark Digipak)

With two members of Wormed in their lineup, Spanish grindcore band Ernia have managed to perfect the sound on their sophomore album which is both refreshing and riveting. The music is just as colourful as their artwork, full of intricate bits and with every song offering something different without abandoning the core sound. There is much to delve into here and every listen only enriches your understanding of their delightfully spastic music. To that extent, it’s almost like a technical album with the difference ...
