• New Tracks From Blockheads/Mumakil Split EP

  Metal Underground reports that two tracks from the Blockheads/Mumakil split EP Blind have been posted to Bones Brigade’s MySpace page. Blockheads‘ new song, "Buenosaires", is the usual good grind I expect from Blockheads.  I’m not as crazy about the Mumakil track, but it’s a good choice to round out a split.  $5US, kids!

Switzerland’s MUMAKIL has recently entered the studio to begin work on its Relapse debut. The follow-up to Customized Warfare is being recorded in the band’s hometown of Geneva.

• Embalming Theatre & Hacksaw Surgery “D-Composition”

  Finally! After several disappointing releases that were plagued with shit production and less than stellar songwriting Switzerland old school death grinders Embalming Theatre return to the sound that made me a fan with this split offering with Australia’s Hacksaw Surgery on Grindhead Records. Embalming Theatre unleash 10 tracks of catchy old school death grind in [...]

• Hellhammer “Demon Entrails”

  The first "extreme" album I ever owned was a vinyl copy of Hellhammer’s legendary Apocalyptic Raids. I was only 7 or 8 years old, and when I first listened to it it scared the shit out of me but as I grew older and my interest in metal grew I came back to that [...]

• Eyes See Red “Beyond The Realm Of Sanity”

  I’ve known drummer Mike Meier of Switzerland’s Eyes See Red for a while now, I can’t remember where we met, all I know is I never talk to him apart from through message boards and blogs, and don’t really know much about the guy apart from the fact that he’s obsessed with filling out surveys, [...]

• Embalming Theatre “Sweet Chainsaw Melodies”

  From the land of teenage tennis stars, chocolate and army knives comes Switzerland’s newest great export; old school thrashing grinding death metal in the form of Embalming Theatre. These guys were obviously heavily influenced by Hideous Mangleus, Impetigo, Mortician, Hemdale, Repulsion and even Blood with their sadistically sloppy barrage of chainsaw shredding riffs, machinegun [...]

• Embalming Theatre “The World Is A Stage… For Murder”

  2003’s Sweet Chainsaw Melodies and 2004’s Hormones From The Dead by Swiss old school death metallers Embalming Theatre were among the catchiest and most entertaining releases I’ve heard in years. When their latest full length offering The World Is A Stage… For Murder was released last year I had very high hopes that it [...]

• Embalming Theatre “Hormones From The Dead”

  A single year since the release of their debut full length offering, Switzerland’s Embalming Theatre are back, yet again, with even more old school sloppy grinding gore death. Since the release of Sweet Chainsaw Melodies, these musical surgeons have been very busy, recording material for no less than five split releases, so where they [...]

• Amok (Swi) “Lullabies of Silence”

  Ah, the Swiss. For a country so neutral and full of tasty chocolate and suspicious bank accounts, they produce some unexpected metal. To think, both Celtic Frost and Embalming Theatre call Switzerland home. The country is just not the sort of place you would envision metal to come from. Then again, neither is Malta, and [...]

• Amok (Swi) “Hephaistos”

  Every few months I receive an album in a mail by a band who I’ve never heard before and upon listening to the effort I find myself being undecided as to what my opinion of the music truly is. This is the case with the newest mCD by Swiss technical death metallers Amok, I’ve [...]
