Separatist began in 2003 in Tasmania, Australia, as a full band. They supported the likes of Skinless and Malevolent Creation and in 2008 released their debut “The Motionless Apocalypse”. Their follow-up album was to be delivered in 2011, but a catastrophic hardware malfunction resulted in the loss of the recording, after which Separatist decided to call it quits. Fast forward to 2014 and vocalist Sam Dishington resolves to record from scratch both the debut, retitled “Motionless”, and the follow-up “Closure”. This time, though, Sam ...

With a name like that, it’s apparent that DeathFuckingCunt from Australia don’t pull any punches. Their music, too, is a violent, destructive, cathartic expression of brutal/technical death metal where everything is played at blinding fast speed. It’s a sheer delight to witness extremity in its unbridled form, without it degenerating into thoughtless barbarity – despite the utter mayhem, there’s a method to this madness, with structures being followed and grooves being infused at breakneck speeds, often culminating in heart-stopping breakdowns and even electrifying solos ...

Vile, utterly disgusting and mangled beyond recognition, the music of Morgue Supplier will make your skin crawl after laying maggot eggs on it. The members, also in the infamous band Drug Honkey, have strung together patterns and loops that will make you nauseous and yet will worm their way into your head and remain there as an infernal parasite, for embedded amidst the harsh, jarring, disorienting music are hooks that are shockingly catchy and appealing, perhaps because they’re your only respite in this madness ...

Intense as well as atmospheric, Lithuanian black metal band Sisyphean have the perfectly tempered sound for this style of music. Their inherent dissonance magnifies their expression, elevating them over hordes of predictable bands, but their real mastery is in crafting thrilling and engaging songs that are both coherent and fulfilling. Everything seems in place and is there for a reason, and they even cover a wide range of emotions, making it a well-rounded affair. Each song bears its own individual sentiment, somehow complementing the ...

A first demo was released in 2013, but soon afterevery band-mate left the project, except for Michele, who insisted on performing live.The band found the right line-up and stabilized only in 2016, with Michele Olmi (drums, also mastermind of his solo-project Embrace of Souls), Davide Baldelli (keyboards), Xavier Rota(bass, also in Embrace of Souls) Filippo Tezza (vocals and songwriting, also mastermind ofhis solo projects Tezza ...

Dark Legion were formed in Volos (Greece) from an idea of Spiros Rizos (formerly with Evil King).Their music is rooted in melodic power speed European roots and also has strong neoclassical influences. Their first album “God Of Harvest” draws heavily on the style of bands like Stratovarius, Elegy and Symphony X.TRACK LISTINGThe Dragon’s SagaGod Of HarvestFear of LoseParadiseInner Fire1000 MilesReign of ChaosThe Girl Who Loves MeWinters NightSands Of TimeGENRE: Power MetalBARCODE: 0606707084765 ...

Bride has been releasing music for more than 30 years, and they are still going strong! “Here Is Your God” is the band’s 16th studio album. It picks up where “Snake Eyes” left off and takes it to a whole new level. This album has major cojones! Here Is Your God, seamlessly blends elements from the first six Bride albums, creating nothing short of an epic hard rock and metal masterpiece. It’s heavy as a freight train, and it’s as melodic as Kinetic Faith ...

In 2021, Jimmy Brown and company took on the task of re-recording the album from the ground up, and Jimmy wrote a book as a companion piece so Camelot finally reflects the original intention and vision intended for this classic album. Only the Deluxe Edition includes the entire book + the CD of Camelot Redux + Camelot (1995 remastered) + DVD (band footage and interviews). On par with the greatness of Queensrÿche – Operation: Mindcrime (yes, we are serious), Jimmy Brown and the ...

Originally recorded in 1995 and released on Intense Records, Camelot in Smithereens blended bits of thrash with technical progressive metal. Deliverance vocalist and band leader, Jimmy P Brown II always lamented that the final version of the album was far from what his original vision entailed. According to Deliverance frontman, Jimmy Brown II, “The Camelot story embodies a lot of allegory, but it’s an important tale! It can, and will mean different things to different people. I know what it means to me, and ...

Frightening, awe-inspiring, and absolutely relentless, Deliverance’s self-titled album dropped onto the scene in 1989 with all the finesse of a metallic sledgehammer across the forehead. In 1987, Deliverance had made their presence known in dramatic fashion on the California Metal compilation (a sampler in the vein of Metal Blade’s Metal Massacre compilations) with “Attack” being the very first thrash/speed metal song with a strong Christian message to ever be released. Overwhelmed with anticipation, fans lined up for two years trying to buy more of ...

Originally released in 1991, Deliverance’s third album is a thrash masterpiece along the lines of S.O.D.,M.O.D., Sacred Reich, and Death Angel. Few are free from their lyrical mockery, be it profiteeringdoomsday preachers, goofy fundamentalists who hate metal because of the sound, skeptics/atheists, the Roman Catholic church, American politicians, or even the whole of American society. Naturally, they’ve opted to mock just about every type of person who wouldn’t likely be at one of their live performances, so the approach is a tad safe, ...
