CROWNED IN EARTH (Visions Of The Haunted) CD

'English Doom' is written in large letters on the left side of the CD inlay, and that's exactly what CROWNED IN EARTH delivers on their debut album, released in 2010 by Shadow Kingdom Records. CROWNED IN EARTH is the brainchild of Kevin Lawry, who has played all instruments on ...

CENTURIONS GHOST (Blessed & Cursed In Equal Measure) CD

Although I really was disappointed by CENTURIONS GHOST's support show for Saint Vitus at the beginning of 2010, their third full-length reconciles me. One reason for this is, that 'Blessed & Cursed In Equal Measure' is more complex and multifaceted than what I had heard in February 2010 ...

CHARGER (Disgust At The Status Quo) MCD

CHARGER come from Stoke-On-Trent, the city in which the mighty Discharge was founded almost 35 years ago. Of course, CHARGER do not exist for such a long time, but at least they have released two albums and a couple of EP's in the past years. At times, the ...

CAUSTIC CASANOVA (Imminent Eminence) CD

CAUSTIC CASANOVA is a power trio operating out of North America's capital city of rock, Washington D.C, but they don't belong to the kind of new bands that resurrect the sound from musicial pioneers as Cream or Blue Cheer. Instead, 'Imminent Eminence' confronts the listener with a wild mix ...

COUNT RAVEN (Mammon's War) CD

Without a doubt, 'Mammon's War' is a triumphant return of COUNT RAVEN, and my initial scepticism has not proved to be true. Although the band had delivered a wonderful show at the Doom Shall Rise Festival in 2004 I could not image that they were able to record a ...

CHURCH OF MISERY (Houses Of The Unholy) LP/CD

This is the fourth ear-splitting studio album from my beloved Japanese serial killers specialists, and if you're familiar with their previous releases than you know what to expect. CHURCH OF MISERY has internalized the spirit of early Black Sabbath and connected it with the overpowering energy of MC5, but they're also ...

CUZO (Amor Y Muerte En La Tercera Fase) LP/CD

Maybe some of you know the Spanish metal band Warchetype, because two members of them are also in CUZO, but this band is completely different. On their debut album for Alone Records in 2008 CUZO explore the regions of improvisations, jamming and progressive rock so that they are in good company ...

COFFINS (Buried Death) CD

It is 2008 and COFFINS has returned from the deepest tombs to satisfy your primitive appetites. Raw, brutal, and merciless this is ultra-downtuned Japanese death metal with a slight doom metal influence, led by a inhumanly vocalist and an impressive filthy production which only serves to make this album more heavier. ...

CROM (Hot Sumerian Nights) CD

Normally I'm no big fan of so-called "fun-records", except for extreme cynical and sarcatic humor. And there you can't find nothing better than Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention, who once asked:"Does humor belong in music?" Maybe Phil Vera, who was part of the line-up of –16-, asked himself the ...

CHOWDER (s/t) MCD

It's always a pleasure for me, when one of the veterans from the MD heavy music scene returns with a new band, because my love for most of this groups is immortal. Maybe this sounds cheesy but it's simply the truth. In the case of CHOWDER it's bassist/guitarist Josh Hart, who ...
