It's been seven long years since Communic released their last album, 'The Bottom Deep', so their new album has been anticipated by fans around the world for quite a while but now it's finally here. I still remember the day back in 2004 when...

CONTRARIAN To Perceive Is To Suffer Hot

8.0

Album EK Even Knudsen August 15, 2017 3297 1 1

I'm not quite sure how to categorize the music of New York based Contrarian to be honest, but I ended up defining it as progressive death metal. The music though is definitely more in the vein of traditional progressive metal and it's not too...

CONDEMNED His Divine Shadow Hot

8.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated April 10, 2017 3233 1 1

San Diego based death metal band Condemned has been around for a while, it's actually ten years since their debut album 'Desecrate the Vile' saw the light of day. Now the band is back with their third effort entitled 'His Divine Shadow'. There's been...

CARCASS Surgical Steel Hot

10.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 3539 1 1

I must admit that Carcass didn’t figure frequently in my playlist in the early stages of their career even though I’m perfectly aware that these guys have been among the most genre defining acts within the extreme metal scene. Arctic Metal’s webmaster Harry Edvardsen...

CHROME MOLLY Gunpowder Diplomacy Hot

7.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 7012 0 1

British based band CHROME MOLLY was formed way back in 1982 as a part of the NWOBHM movement, but they never really managed to break out of the underground with any of their four full length albums released troughout the eighties. The band split...

8.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 2883 0 1

Zak Stevens and his CIRCLE II CIRCLE are back with their sixth studio album, this time released through Ear Music, the same label who released late Savatage albums such as 'Dead Winter Dead' and 'The Wake Of Magellan'. I've always been a huge fan...

CORPUS MORTALE Fleshcraft Hot

8.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 3014 0 1

Disse danskene har holdt koken i nærmere to tiår i metallens undergrunn, de slapp sin første demo i 1995 mens første studioalbum så dagens lys i 2003. Oppfølgeren, 'A New Species Of Deviants' kom ut i 2007 og nå er de altså klare med...

CANNIBAL CORPSE Torture Hot

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 3854 0 1

Dette er et album jeg har ventet på i stor spenning etter den smått geniale 'Evisceration Plague' og nå er det altså endelig her. Det tok meg ikke mer en en kjapp gjennomhøring før jeg kunne konstatere at de amerikanske kannibalene igjen har levert...

CRIMSON CULT Tales Of Doom Hot

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 2492 0 1

Kjært barn har mange navn heter det og det stemmer godt også i dette tilfellet, Crimson Cult ble startet som Stygmata IV (som slapp den glimrende 'The court of eternity' i 1998), skiftet navn til Stigmata og deretter til Big Heat. Nå er det...

CRAFT Void Hot

7.0

Album ØW Øystein Winsnes Updated December 04, 2014 4029 0 1

Noen band "utvikler" seg minimalt. Craft er et slikt band, og bra er det! Craft har holdt det gående siden 1994, først under navnet Nocta. Platedebuten kom i 2000, og bandet har dessverre ikke forhastet seg...
