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)
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!


Bottlekopf (Poland)




Bottlekopf (Poland)
Digipack "The Jokes are Over"

Katowice, Poland saw the rise of the Bottlekopf band with surprising courage and impact. Practitioners of a frontal death metal that gets to the point and leaves you breathless, this band originated in 2010 that has three albums to date and that has carved a niche in the European underground scene. They bring us the album "The Jokes are Over" of this year 2022, a great album of thirteen songs that drive you to madness same song after song drives a brutal impact on your brain when hearing each plate of this great album, this power Duo does not It lets us breathe and floods us with a very raw and violent death sound with basic and old school bases, always bordering on the most extreme. Marek and Marcin tear up the drums, the percussion is pounding and truly intimidating at times, the vocals are a great level of guttural, as well as sick riffing guitars and mind-blowing solos. I highly recommend this band to all death metal fans.

Higurd (Germany)

 


Higurd (Germany)

Higurd, direct and violent black metal, since 2010 destroying the universe with its music. Germany continues to provide metal in all its styles, the "Egozentrik" album was released in the year 2016 by Wolfmond Productions and 2018 by Narcoleptica Productions.
Higurd is: Nargathrond Guitars, Vocals Morbid Vocals The set of the disc is: Freiheit Jag känner mig hämma i dina ögon Minusmensch In meinem Tun der Teufel Entweiht Innere Unruhe Herz Du bist tot (Teil 2) I Am the Night. For lovers of the old black metal school and followers of basic and direct metal. Discography: Gedankensturm (Album, 2013); Totgeglaubt (EP, 2015) Egozentrik (Album2016/2018)
Egozentrik is from the beginning a real kick to your eggs, old school pure and hard no melody and no detour, direct and concrete proposal of black metal of race. Higurd is one of those bands that you will hate or love when listening for the first time, and his album is of that kind, a lot of power in sound and a voice that reminds us of the best version of Pest in Gorgoroth of yesteryear, true riff Black metal and a devastating battery. The album takes us through many passages where they go from the most extreme to the most dense and powerful becoming hymns of the afterlife. Recall that the label responsible for propagating this plague is Narcoleptica Productions that were really right to support these beasts of the genus. I do not make a breakdown of the album, song by song as I like to do because it is a material to listen on a single trip and describe it so a dark feeling, without removing the ears of the speaker, you should not stop listening to this complete rite, here I leave the set list to delight you: Freiheit Jag Känner Mig Hämma I Dina Ögon Minusmensch In Meinem Tun Der Teufel Entweiht Innere Unruhe Herz Du Bist Tot (Teil 2) I Am The Night German metal never disappoints me and these goats who have been together since 2010 show that they are here to stay in the darkest area of ​​the metal, recommended.
