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 ...

COLD MEAT SOCIETY / KONVOI (s/t) Split-MCD

This self-financed split-disc features two unknown Finnish heavy rock bands. Each of them comes up with two songs and the first band is COLD MEAT SOCIETY, who describe their music as 'energetic, groovy stoner rock'. This description sounds really boring, but the music is a little bit better, especially the second ...

CORTEZ (Thunder In A Forgotten Town) MCD

This impressively six-track debut from Boston's CORTEZ hints at good things to come. They write memorable songs; they have a filthy and mean guitarsound while the rhythm group is a solid unit and at least the pleasantly rough vocals fit perfectly to this massive groovy sound. Each one of the six ...

COUNT RAVEN (Destruction Of The Void) CD

It was the year 1992, when Hellhound Records released the second album of Doom Metal vikings COUNT RAVEN. Two years have passed since their magnificent debut 'Storm Warning', and in the meantime Christian Linderson did leave the band to join Saint Vitus. That was no reason for COUNT RAVEN to mourn ...

CRUX (Rev Smrti/Screams Of Death) CD

The former Czechoslovakia was an extremely inspiring ground for a lot of devoted Thrash Metal bands, who have been also influenced by the first wave of Black Metal like Bathory f.e. Among those Czech bands, we find Root or Masters Mammer, but also CRUX, which have been formed by bass player ...

CENTURIONS GHOST (The Great Work) CD

Wow, what for a brilliant second album from UK's heavyweights CENTURIONS GHOST! I'm not sure, what was responsible for this giant step forward, that the band did with 'The Great Work', but their development since 2001 is impressive. The debut full-length ' A Sign Of Things To Come' was a strong ...

COUNT RAVEN (Storm Warning) CD

Finally, after all this years Cyclone Empire re-released all four COUNT RAVEN albums, and I'm fucking glad, that they did it, because this four Doom Metal milestones should be available for everyone, who calls themselves a real Doom Metal fan. I could bore you with all my memories, that are connected ...

CENTURIONS GHOST (A Sign Of Things To Come) CD

I don't know any other Doom label, that released so much top-notch stuff in 2005 as  Sweden's I Hate Records. No matter if you listen to Thee Plague Of Gentlemen, Isole or Burning Saviours - every band got its very own style, showing the world outside, that Doom is  vital and ...
