Mindreaper (Germany)




Mindreaper (Germany)
CD."Mirror Construction (.. a Disordered World)"

Mindreaper death metal and melody and a bit of thrash are the characteristics of this band. Germany continues to provide excellent and brutal bands in all styles. His album "Mirror Construction (... a Disordered World)" is a great and quite aggressive piece where we can see influences of the three styles that mix in a good way in a really correct way, I would say. A lot of melody and very digestible sounds even for those who are not so followers of extreme metal. An album that was published more than a year ago but that remains with great validity within the world metal scene. A lot of virtusism in their strings and in the compositions in general, stand out very elaborate solos and a voice that is enveloping and quite brutal, resisting between so much melody. I highly recommend extreme sound made intelligently.




Odium (Germany)




Odium (Germany)
CD."As The World Turns Black"

"As The World Turns Black" is the name of Odium's album. Serious and very direct metal, extreme and technical many times, but perhaps completely unlabeled, with influences from heavy, thrash, crossover and hard rock and a lot of charisma, all this together with a super professional and high-level sound that stands out above all. This album has a professional performance in terms of final sound as a whole. Breaking it down, his voice is very brutal and somewhat incatalogable, I would like to say that it is a serious voice of metal, riff and very clever great melodies, a simple percussion that is coupled to the special extreme to all the music presented here. Seeking to refresh your mind of bands that may be pigeonholed in certain genres because I recommend this band is not more of itself and its sound is quite brutal.




Eraserhead (Germany)




Eraserhead (Germany)
CD."Holdout"

The Germans of Eraserhead bring us a brutal and very direct death metal sound of those who have given you a head since you are coming to listen to this vile music called death metal that our brain so much likes. His 2017 record "Holdout" will be broken down below. There are five themes of death metal of the old school that never loses its brutality or its extremism, guitars that give us beastly riff and that present us hallucinating only to the best times of the early 90's, master class of the strings so Like the battery that a frenetic journey to madness. Guttural voices that never give truce and a sound that despite the old school is very well adapted to the new ear of the extreme metal follower, issues with which you can identify quickly. They close this musical plate with two live songs where we can verify that its sound is kept impeccable and intact in a live presentation. I recommend them and invite you to learn more about this band in their networks.





Battlesword (Germany)




Battlesword (Germany)
CD."An death cometh upon us"

Battlesword excellent band that today offers us a majestic album called "An death cometh upon us". We can get a good mix of quite homogeneous sounds in this production, from death and thrash, as well as a melody that becomes decisive in every way, for many it may remind you of the legendary Amon Amart, with such an epic tone typical of hymns that take you to the beyond. "Into Battle" and "Once" seemed to me two tracks of real power and reminded me of the best bands on the Swedish scene in this style. Breaking down the album is a totally impeccable, crisp and high-quality recording, execution of each element all pass with 100 strings with incredible virtuosity and a notorious talent, a voice that never disappoints or faints excellent gutturals and a battery that never stops accelerating and it is the engine for the compendium of sounds so brutal that this great band gives us. Always recommended if your taste for melodic and extreme metal is high.

Under Destruction (Austria)




Under  Destruction (Austria)
CD."Deliverence"

Under Destruction The first thing that comes to mind is melodic death with a high level and great execution, a waste of virtuosity and quite a talent for these Austrians. "Deliverance" is the album that we are presented today with a fairly clean and worked sound, a real machinery of melodies and extreme metal, making use of two combined weapons to provide.





Asphagor (Austria)




Asphagor (Austria)

Asphagor and his great album "The cleansing" teach us that not everything is said in extreme metal. The Austrians surprise us with such a composition of an album that takes us from the most extreme to the most subtle but always in the darkest environment. Crushing guitars that can also be melodic, a powerful voice that does not faint that combines guttural and darker vocals, and a huge drums. They can take you from the frenetic to the darkest dance near your death. The Delphic Throne, Sun Devourer, The Solipsist, (In The) Sea Of Empty Shells Each of these titles make up the first part of the album that is really very violent and leads us through a storm of violent and extreme settling as well as dark and cold. Then the cd. continues to take shape and becomes an indomitable animal with individual pieces such as: Circle Of Abaddon, Monodia (He, My Wall), Aurora Night, and the homonym "The Cleansing" To close with a flourish a cd. that I think for lovers of black metal and extreme metal will never disappoint. Very professional sound achieved and a great work of world under. If you are interested in knowing more about this band you can listen to their previous albums "Anti 2013" "Havoc 2010".



Rodent (With Glasses) (Germany)




Rodent (With Glasses) (Germany)
EP."Anti Human Therapy"

Rodent from the German capital Berlin break into the underground scene with a quite interesting and brutally impressive EP."Anti Human Therapy" contains five incredible songs within the new proposals in metal, a lot of thrash, a lot of hardcore and a lot of crossover, from there all the sound starts so direct and frontal that we can analyze both the strings and their crushing Riffs, apart from a bass that flies and gives it a solid base, a drum with a percussion that is accelerated and super concrete and finished with a legendary vocal register with a lot of brutality and impeccable performance.
Let's remember that this EP was made in September 2019 and it was made at Exx Studios with the Voice of Tom de Exa, Backed by Pedda (Jehackted, Psychaotic) and Matse (King Machine) Mixed and Mastered by Dennis Israel, at Clintwork Studios and Rat-Art Cover by Erik Morawetz and a Layout and design by Exx Tom Bandshots by Jeff Baines. Interesting this EP I highly recommend it.



Ramihrdus (Usa)





Ramihrdus (Usa)
CD."The Sorrow of the Evergreens"

Ramihrdus The Americans directly from Wisconsin release quite dark and atmospheric sounds left and right also with a lot of post black and black related sounds but in such a calm way.
"The Sorrow of the Evergreens" seven songs make up this great album that delighted us from start to finish with so many epic and interesting songs, the opening with "Blackfire Sky" is already brutal and then a development with songs such as "Beyond the Pines" "Shackled by Despair" couple of songs that surprised me for good and then when you get ready to finish the album you get a sound as huge as it is with "Eternal Rest" a true epic work.
Let's remember more important information about this album that was published on August 20, 2021. Let's remember that Bryce Witt: is in charge of all the instruments, voices and production. And he collaborates in additional voices of Rick Sowl. 
Let's remember that the photos of the Album were by Spencer Selover and Pixabay as well as the Layout and design of the album by Bryce Witt. I totally recommend this great CD.



Cyber Messiah (Denmark)




Cyber Messiah (Denmark)
EP."Primordial Slime"

Cyber Messiah from Denmark presents us with a very experimental sound with influences from many styles including thrash, Gore, grind, cybermetal. "Primordial Slime" a good EP loaded with interesting and different sounds, quite brutal and even interesting many times since you don't get sounds of this type very often on albums or EPS from metal bands. The Scandinavian countries are showing us lately bands with quite new and refreshing sounds and very appropriate to all this new scene that every time has a huge and brutal growth.
This ep was made in July 2022 and the people in charge of achieving this great sound mastered by Tom Liebing And also mastered by Dennis Israel / Clintworks and cover art Tom Liebing. I totally recommend this very brutal and risky ep for those who want to experience different metal.



Mysticism Black (Usa)




Mysticism Black (Usa)
CD. "Return Of The Bestial Flame"

From USA washington is presented to us Mysticism Black. A very epic and atmospheric style wrapped in black metal that is a fairly large scene in the United States where they have managed to make a characteristic black sound of that country. A brutal impact on your face and a machine of hate and pain is this great band. Dark and brutal themes as well as forcefulness in the performances and compositions is what they present to us in their album "Return Of The Bestial Flame" If you are a true lover of extreme metal made with all the most incredible hate listen to this great album. Recall that his album is also in edition, something that seemed very ideal for the message that is transmitted from the old school present destroying everything, but with many current revolutions giving more strength to the destruction of humanity itself with its sound.


Hardholz (Germany)




Hardholz (Germany)
CD. "Herzinfarkt"

Hardholz the German legends from Tambach-Dietharz, Thuringia, always ready for the truest metal. They bring us their album "Herzinfarkt" a piece faithful to its heaviest roots and brutal and loyal speeds as always a disc that from its beginning you can feel the great energy and fury they emit. I am surprised that an active band from 1984 to 1997 and then had a return in 2013 to the present is still so current and wasted no time or space between its other partner bands of the genre. If you see 2016 in the heavy under as this CD. "Herzinfarkt" stands out well and it pays quite well to listen to it completely. I recommend it from beginning to end each of its riffs and only long songs like old school hymns and a very legendary sound that really makes you live again the golden age of heavy and speed metal, set aside something else and a time to devote to this great album recommended.

Enragement (Finland)





Enragement (Finland)
CD."Atrocities"

Now we are going to review the album by Enragement the remembered Finnish practitioners of a highly technical and highly experimental death metal. "Atrocities" an album consisting of twelve extremely brutal, incredible and brutally frontal songs as usual, this album was released in April 2022. This time I was able to appreciate how "Ojanne" has evolved in voice and guitar, each time taking a higher level, "Livanainen" in voice and guitar as well, "Heinonen also collaborating with the voice and standing out a lot with the bass, this surprised me because is fundamental in the sound of the album, and Sannikka the drummer with a monstrous level, they form this great and enormous formation that makes this album completely captivate you, you listen to it in a single jerk calmly because song after song you want more, I recommend it.





Enragement (Finland)
CD."Burned, Barren, Bloodstained"

Enragement This great band arrives from the capital of Finland, with a proposal based on death metal but with a lot of technique at times and in others with a lot of experimentation, a fairly condensed and dense sound that is super solid in terms of proposal. His album "Burned, Barren, Bloodstained" has 11 songs that go from the most frenetic to the most technical, making a very interesting sound that is really brutal and never tires you. This album that was made in June 2019 is a true piece for lovers of death metal that intertwines technique very well but without exaggerating. The voices never disappoint, sick and violent riffs at all times, frenetic percussion without any mercy and a sound that surrounds you from the moment you play the record, it has a characteristic that catches you, this band makes it extremely interesting since it doesn't It lets you change songs, it's a whole trip from coast to coast, recommended for those who love death metal but who aren't so basic but want something more from this great genre.



Running Wild Productions (Austria)



Running Wild Productions (Austria)
CD."RWP Hymn Running Wild Productions"

This great compilation became a great and happy project full of a lot of talent by Withdraw, and totally wonderful, remember that it was made in February 2022, all this was carried out in Austria. The great musician and with enormous talent (Witege) managed to follow a song to create many versions in specific 8 incredible songs, where each theme surpasses the next and makes the experience of listening to this compilation truly rewarding. Each song presents its own interpretation of the main theme, with new variations, different lyrics in their entirety, in musical and vocal style changing certain things. Remember that it is not only the same song played in different styles, but there are eight independent songs that share the same musical structure. They totally reflected the identity of this great label and the cover is a true and great tribute to that great song, and to that excellent album. - They managed to design a coat of arms that is totally in line with the style and is special for this great moment. It should be noted that all the instruments, lyrics, voices, performances were by (Witege) who produced this by himself in his home studio in Vienna Austria between February and August of the year 2022, it was mastered by Rainer Wild in that same month of August, he was also in charge of the concept, the models and the design of it.
