Here’s the last release from a recent batch of records sent by Grazil Records. As you already know by now, Grazil is entirely up to genres like a stoner, sludge, doom, death metal, black metal, thrash metal, grindcore, crust punk, and hardcore punk, so this release isn’t an exception either. At some points, I thought… Read More Deumus – Oyer And Terminer CS (Grazil Records)
Let’s get back into some heavier music waters. Today, I will be talking about another release published by Grazil Records. Relics Of Ancient Love is the latest full-length album by Tears Of Fire, an international doom metal band based in Berlin, Germany. The group includes musicians from Germany, Iran, and Sweden, but that doesn’t stop… Read More Tears Of Fire – Relics Of Ancient Love CS (Grazil Records)
Before the internet, samplers were a great way to hear new music, find out about new bands, and check out label activities. That way, you could handpick several bands and purchase their releases without wasting money on something you didn’t like. Sadly, the format lost in popularity with the rise of the mp3 era and… Read More V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 2. (Grazil Records)
It’s been a while since we had a band like this on our pages. Thankfully, Grazil Records supplied us with this outstanding piece of sonic artistry in the batch they sent a week ago. I have to admit this is the first time I am stumbling upon Red Mesa, and I was pleasantly surprised by… Read More Red Mesa – The Path To The Deathless LP (Grazil Records)
It seems decades have passed since I wrote something about various artists’ compilations. Somehow I pushed that format under the rug for no particular reason, and things have to be changed for the better. Luckily, Elitbolaget sent me one of their older comps for a review a while ago, so this particular release will serve… Read More V/A – Uprising Vol. 2. (Elitbolaget)
Now it’s time for some heavier sounds. It’s been a while since I wrote something about sludge music, so this release came at the right time, thanks to Elitbolaget. …And Then The Rains Came by Varoshan is one of those records that keeps you entertained from scratch to finish. Of course, this only counts if… Read More Varoshan – …And Then The Rains Came CS (Elitbolaget)
I have to admit I awaited this record with anticipation since I am familiar with the sound of this band. In From The Cold are no strangers to the local and regional sludge scene. After all, the members are veterans of the underground scene and previously played in groups such as Drawbacks, That Shining Star,… Read More In From The Cold – Isolation Blues LP (Geenger Records)
I am tuning in with another great release that unquestionably seeks the attention of the broader auditorium. Nihilist is a debut full-length album by Mamut, a relatively new Croatian quartet coming from Rijeka. The group nurtures interesting sound rarely heard in the Balkan region. Quite the contrary, I am not familiar with the bands who’re… Read More Mamut – Nihilist
This band caught my attention even before I heard their debut single Leave The Sea. As a longtime fan of Planet Of The Apes movies, comics, books, and the entire franchise, I couldn’t avoid this band by any means. I was even more surprised no one ever considered this franchise for a possible visual/thematical aesthetics… Read More Enraged Monkeys – No Compromise CD (Hicktown Records)
Stonetree are coming back with another brilliant material that will appeal to all the admirers of an alternative rock sound. Stonetree are not strangers to these pages, and I previously had an opportunity to write an article about the first edition of Void Fill. These Austrian rockers decided to send me their latest recording, which… Read More Stonetree – Void Fill 2 CD
Back in the pre-digital era, various artists’ compilations and samplers acted as the crucial source for discovering fresh music. It was a convenient way to promote the latest singles, announce albums or introduce brand new artists/bands to the broader auditorium. Then the digital era commenced, and digital singles replaced regular 7″ records, compilations, and samplers.… Read More V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 1. (Grazil Records)
This gem recently came to our headquarters. I was not familiar with this group until Bloodshed666 Records pointed me out to their music. What’s undoubtfully special about this band is how they combine several genres to achieve a certain ambiance. Phal:Angst sounds like nothing you’ve heard before, mainly because of their experimentations that you would… Read More Phal:Angst – Phase IV DLP (Bloodshed666 Records)
