• Mayhem “Grand Declaration Of War”

  Approx 1993, I lost respect for Euronymous for claiming to be a communist, which is even stupider than actually being one. Approx 1996, when I finally heard Deathcrush, I lost respect for Maniac, for being a hugely shite vocalist. In 1999 I lost respect for Hellhammer, for the Kovenant’s abortion of an album Animatronic. I [...]

• Various Artists “Thrashing Holocaust”

  A long time in the making and a noble effort to proudly commemorate modern bands with an old-school sound, Necropolis’ Thrashing Holocaust has one of the best titles for a CD ever, and I’m not just saying that because those two words have been largely in use by myself for several years. Actually this [...]

• Usurper “Visions From The Gods”

  A few years back I was sent a copy of Usurper’s demo, Visions From The Gods, I admit that at the time I wasn’t really into black metal all that much and wasn’t fully able to appreciate it at the time and ended up hiding it amongst my stacks of tapes. In 1997, Metal [...]

• Total War “We Are Total War”

  So I was once told of some feud between David Parland and Paul of Necropolis. Something about one of the WAR albums being released without permission or something of that nature. So after a lot of bad press I suppose the two put their differences aside so that the two WAR albums [...]

• Nocturnus “Etheral Tomb”

  For the most part the bands signed to Earache in the late 80s were ground breaking and really entertaining bands such as Carcass, Napalm Death and Morbid Angel, to name a few. Nocturnus, consisting of former Morbid Angel drummer/vocalist Mike Browning, just didn’t happen to be one of those bands. They weren’t bad, [...]

• Mayhem “Grand Declaration Of War”

  After listening to this album a few times, I only have one question to ask; what the FUCK was that all about? This is easily one of the most bizarre albums I’ve heard in a long time. I used to think Mayhem were a black metal band, albeit not a very good black [...]

• Cranium “Speed Metal Sentence”

  In case my opinions haven’t alienated the friends of new metal, how about this: I actually like this album. Yes… those of you who just vomited, knowing my favorites like Slayer, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Morbid Angel, Pestilence, Carcass, etc etc etc… just listen for a moment. Thrash metal is still my favorite. [...]

• Circle Of Dead Children “The Genocide Machine”

  Since I first heard the band’s Exotic Sense Decay EP last year, I have been greatly anticipating hearing more from the chaotic group of enraged death-grinders, Circle Of Dead Children. The EP contained 7 tracks and 12:21 of some of the most diversified and unique brutal music to hit my ear drums in some [...]

• Deathwitch “Monumental Mutilations”

  Deathwitch has been out there behaving evil for quite some time and I’m impressed Nicke Terror (Swordmaster, Sacramentum) managed to construct 4 CDs worth of material out of it. I always thought this band was pretty funny since I first heard their Dawn Of Armageddon album a few years ago. Having heard little [...]

• Dawn “Slaughtersun”

  This long-awaited release from one of the best Swedish black/death metal acts is simply a masterpiece. In the vein of a more brutal and chaotic version of Dissection, Dawn has managed to compose seven epic songs that ranges from seven to ten minutes long, all of which having a distinct theme as if it were [...]
