Bolverk (Norway)

Bolverk (Norway)

CD."Uaar"

Uaar of 2022 recorded on May 22 is the name of the album of the Norwegian black metallers, a new band just in 2020 is formed and has come to break into the world scene its name: Bolverk. An album of eight songs where each one is the tombstone that falls as a domino effect ending everything in its path, an album that surprises me the fact of how it is made and everything that the label transmits Worm Hole Death Signed in a great way this nobel band that is one of the most forceful I have ever heard.  His album Dystopia shows us a plaque that brings 8 unedited and brutal songs one after another are funebres marches directly to purgatory itself where death awaits you and each song reminds you of that path. For a long time I have liked very much the bands that manage to combine black metal and extreme metal in an optimal way and in this case it is achieved in a great way, I am completely convinced by the powerful voices that are used and also the riff so brutal that they destroy your head apart from a percussion that crushes your brains without stopping, a great proposal and a huge staging make this album of 2022 a great jewel of the genre and a material appreciated for all those followers of the world under.

Trigonum Mortis (Czech Republic)

Trigonum Mortis (Czech Republic)
CD."Fall Into The Dark Age"

Black Death from the Czech Republic, a beast of a band that it is Trigonum Mortis Incredible from start to finish a band that walks through quite dark sounds as well as infernal, it handles within the sounds of death and black metal with great depth between theme and theme achieving that these are never monotonous. "Fall Into The Dark Age" Review the bestiality and genius of the sound that this band has experienced since its inception in 2019 and is to achiieve an excellent synergy between black metal and death metal highly for those faithful followers of the darkest genre. The voices never rest, some sick and bloody riffs at all times, a  drumming without mercy and an exemplary sound that surrounds you from the first moment the album starts, the album has attributes that catches you, this project makes it extremely interesting since you don't lose track of every aspect of the album, it's quite a journey from start to finish, recommended for those lovers of black and death metal but who aren't so true, but want something that goes beyond these huge and influential styles.

Scraper (Germany)

Scraper (Germany)

CD."Hunger Within"

Marl, Germany gave birth to the thrashers of Scraper, a band with a very brutal staging and a fairly defined and matured sound, they totally know what they want to convey with their sound and the proposal is quite polished and accomplished, due to many passages in their songs. Sometimes they combine death metal with thrash and make an exquisite amalgamation of styles for the metal ear. Let us remember that this band has been active since 2016 and we are struck by the fact that they work independently, which is something very admirable within the metal scene of record distribution, which is a truly hard world for those who decide to self-produce. I already gave you an introduction to the sound of the band that presents us with its only album "Hunger Within" that presents us with ten songs of a very well made metal, strolling through the most frenetic thrash, as well as certain experiments with denser and slower sounds but that give a great atmosphere to this great album. Markus and Tobias on the strings caught my attention with excellent solos and riffs very well done. Ralf in the almost perfect percussion and giving enormous power to the sound that he seeks to deliver.Carsten, who is in charge of vocals, has an impeccable performance from start to finish on the album. With closed eyes I recommend this great material very well achieved.

AMeN.V1 (Austria)

Running Wild Productions AMeN. V1(Austria) Compilation "Austrian Metal News  Volume 1."

A fairly extensive and rich material where we can navigate between many bands and different styles, this material surprised me because it makes it possible for you to investigate and get to know so many bands of this great scene that is very interesting. The way this compilation is done is brilliant due to the great way of compiling so many styles and of great quality.The art section of the compilation is masterful and the form and quality in which the album is printed seems to me to be of the first level, very much in keeping with the great material that they present to us.T he content of the compilation is made up of: VNZVCHT that practice black metal, AEONS OF ASHES that do melodic death metal, then we can listen to AUSSICHTSLOS that give us black metal, it also has the great band BLACK ANTHEM that makes an interesting black metal, another of the bands is CRUCIATUS INFERNALIS running a black dungeon. Then we can continue browsing for more bands like: Dea Artio who play an atmospheric black, then we continue FLAMMENKVLT also practitioners of black metal, then we can listen to GHA´AGSHEBLAH great black metal band, we also have bands with other styles present like INFECTED CHAOS with an excellent Death metal, there is also NÀIRE, an excellent band, PERDITUS continues with an enormous black metal of great quality. We also have another great band such as SCION OF DARKNESS presenting a legendary Death metal, a band that surprised me is SHEOGORATH with a quite interesting mixed style with black metal and a lot of melodic metal, then we can hear VERGEBLICHKEIT doing a very brutal gothic black. And the compilation closes with WINTER'S BREATH that gives us an incredible atmospheric metal along with brutal black, an excellent band called WITHDRAW that makes great black metal.

Way2Far (Germany)

Way2Far (Germany)

CD."Shadows of the Past"

German band Way2Far that mixes heavy rock influences with melodic metal with some heavy and RandB.

Quite different and something more designed for fans of less heavy metal and also for those who like more melodic metal and also rock. "Shadows of the Past" a fairly well-done album and achieved with great quality and enormous luxury in composition and achievement of its final material, because when you listen to it you realize that it is a rather experimental sound but very well polished and worked as end sound. This album has ten songs where an instrumental song called "Sail Away" called my attention, with which they close the album, which I thought was a true work of art.

Quoting the band about this album: (The album is a composition of two parts of life. It is the symbiosis between the past and the future. Our way of expressing feelings and experiences in difficult moments.) I recommend this sound for those who want to experiment beyond pure and hard metal.

Warhammer (Greece)

Warhammer (Greece)

CD."Ashes and Cinders"

Warhammer, the huge legend of Greek underground metal active since 1994, arrives with his proposal of melodic death doom thrash between various styles. A band that emerged as a tribute to its beginnings to Hellhammer but that continued as its own project and a true journey that these great musicians have given us with five studio albums and three Split as well as multiple successful singles. On this occasion 2021 they present us with their new CD."Ashes and Cinders" which has ten true bestiality songs of themes that take us through various styles and is an ideal album for fans of extreme metal but that they appreciate the legendary sound and at the same time that it is a sound that takes you on a frantic trip to a black hole. Let's remember that this band is faithful to the sound of the old school and that continues to be a trademark of this great band for more than 25 years of experience and that is where you can realize that they are still intact to date and faithful to their brutality leave behind. The voices are true infernal screams and moans from beyond the grave that make you denote evil over and over again. Strings that kill you as soon as you hear a riff that hits you on the concrete and solos that crush your ears in an incredible way. And a percussion performed by the devil himself, an infernal rhythm with a direct passage without stopping to hell itself. I can't recommend you just listen to this album by this great band, I invite you to review their entire discography, they are one of the most brutal Greek cult bands that exist in the fight, and if you really appreciate the underground sound, you should immerse yourself in the sound. of this great band, we remain firm, health and metal.

Exxperior (Germany)

    

Exxperior (Germany)
CD."Escalating Conflicts"

From the capital of Germany, the beautiful city of Berlin comes this super project that mixes many styles, which diverge from each other. Thrash, progressive metal, some heavy metal and a lot of improvisation and a lot of experimentation that this band presents to us. CD. "Escalating Conflicts" an impressive and very experimental album, I put emphasis on it, because the mixture between so many styles is really evident, which they do in a great way and therefore an album that manages to reach many ears, this is a band that it can be attached to a lot of people because it has a very varied sound. This album, which consists of fifteen incredible songs, one by one, changes and adds a lot of luxury and category to the final sound. This album came out in 2021 and let's remember that the main musicians of this group: Tom on guitars is brutal, Jaxx on vocals destroys and reaches unique vocal registers and Apokarlypsa on drums is a master with percussion throughout the album. At the same time we have endless special collaborations throughout the album, more than twenty, which also explains the changeability of each song both in execution and the difference between theme and theme due to its style achieved. Definitely recommended band for those who want to try something totally different within metal.

Flukt (Norway)

 

Flukt (Norway)

Flukt the Norwegian old school black metal band is sublime and brutal in turn amazing sound as aggressive as in the nineties when this whole movement arose. Incredible sound so powerful that it scrapes and breaks you. His album "Darkness Devour" suffering and a lot of passion, a damn feeling that will run through your veins, when you start to hear every note on this album, a sharp voice and always heartbreaking, strings with incredible pounding sound and a percussion that never rests and ends to give such a brutal tone. The band was launched during the fall of 2014 but from the dark mood and the aggression in the music, every metalhead will get a flashback to the good old days of Norwegian Black Metal in the 90´s. Eight songs that take you to the edge of the precipice and I would say that it is an album without any waste. I totally recommend them for fans of the genre.

Under The Oak (Norway)

Under the Oak (Norway)

Digipack “Ripped Up by the Roots”

The legendary sound of the Norwegian band Under the Oak is epic at times but above all it takes you to the old school of the most brutal styles of the style that are still present and do not die thanks to proposals like this. From Fredrikstad, Viken starting its movement as a band in 2017 formed by: Marius, Thomas, Jostein, Steinar; they offer us a very aggressive and forceful style but always without evading the notorious influence of the classical school of style. Their album “Ripped Up by the Roots” released on September 25, 2020 with the Record Label WormHoleDeath is the band’s only one to date and is a great letter of introduction. When reviewing the entire album you can recognize the influence of bands like Exciter, Sanctuary among others, 12 songs make up this great album and reviewing line by line is a band with a supreme and quite superior sound and the guitar solos surprise and how the bass is a sharp knife in each note, an insane percussion and great bill and its vocal register really reminds great glories of the time as (+ Warrel Dane) among others and reaching great notes of truth Complicated. The album is aimed at thrash fans but who enjoy the classic part of the genre, I totally recommend it to enjoy with a cold beer.

Daemoniac (Italy)

 

 

Daemoniac (Italy)

Daemoniac - Spawn Of The Fallen. If you tired of the modern polished and plastic and toothless “death metal” bands Daemoniac is what you need for! Starting their release “Spawn Of The Fallen” with short industrial intro they dive into devastation during next 40 minutes. It is great unholy old-school Death metal like Incantation, Asphyx, Morgoth and so on. Guitar work is full with tasty riffs, songs composed with fast and slow parts that divide this total madness on separate parts. Sound is very raw and rough but good listenable which makes atmosphere of release more primal and cruel. Drums are not modern plastic computer shit and sounds like ritual wardrums of hate! And the final point is for excellent low and powerful growling. In the middle of release another intro wait for us. Sounding like a soundtrack from 80’s horror movies with weird piano it gives us some rest. But after that massacre is going on! So expect no mercy from this release, Daemoniac know their job well!
