'Invader From Beyond' is a concept album and third full lenght offering from German based Damnation Defaced. As far as i recall I haven't heard any of their previous albums yet, but I'm sure I will check out both after having heard this one....

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen December 08, 2017 3791 1 2

Sometimes the technical death metal genre gets criticized for only producing bands being technical for the sake of technicallity, and in some cases the critics are right to a certain degree. Fortunately this is not the case with Canadian band Deity. On their self-titled...

8.0

'Ascension Gate' is the fourth full lenght album from German band Dawn Of Disease. Their melodic style of death metal is heavily inspired by the early Gothenburg scene and you can clearly hear certain parallels to bands like At The Gates, while the modern...

DEMONIC RESURRECTION Dahsavatar Hot

8.0

Album EK Even Knudsen March 24, 2017 3042 1 1

Even though I've labelled this review of Indian Demonic Resurrection as death metal, I must add that it's actually not a very accurate description of the music presented on 'Dashavatar'. There are certainly huge elements of death metal in their style, but you can...

American prog metal veterans Dream Theater are finally back with their long awaited rock opera entitled The Astonishing, a massive 2 hours plus opus that for sure will be subject to discussion among their fans. I suspect it will split their fanbase as well,...
