SAHMAIN.-'SALIGIA'-CD 2003-7 TRAX-RUSIA

Black metal band from RUSIA. YEZZ!!! This Cd is pure fuckin' armageddon, I believe that they don't impressed on me 'Cause their work is poor. The tracks had elements only to black metal fans, classic and non innovative in the NORWEGIAN vein. It's no memorable, only bloody tracks, fsater, simples and crude. ........................................................................... 7/10

SAHMAIN.-'DE DOCTRINA DIABOLI'-CD 2004-10 TRAX-RUSIA

I've noticed some progress than comparison before album, but it's relative, some trax has good structure and more rhythm changes, I still believe that production is awful, the sound is poor but is better than ever.only black metal and more NORWEGIAN black metal. .................................. 7/10

SARAM.-'METAL MAYHEM GENOCIDE'-PROMO TAPE 2004-5 TRAX-PERU

When ROY NOIZER told me,about SARAM(their old band) was reborn,I was surprised and excited to listened again,but I must to say which I'm deceptioned about of this,because their music is good,but it's inspired to ANAL VOMIT(it's the same) and the unique and the only thing different,which is ERICK NEYRA the vocalist,that's influenced on GOAT SEMEN.Their sound it's no original but some tracks are attractive and totally enjoyable.the 5 trax,are into true alcoholic metal,Yeah no Female vocals,no keyboards,the same way that GOATSEMEN/ANAL VOMIT,I thought I found the old SARAM tunes,but is NOT!!!Now,they was returned with ANAL VOMIT feelin'. I believe something this fuckin' tape is OK.but not original yet!!!Checked SARAM stuff is to all alcoholic & ANAL VOMIT bangers,tracks like SATANS CALL,FROM THE PITS OF LIMA HELL are most representative tracks,this stuff is faster,crude,chaotic & savage.They're sounded like ANAL VOMIT mixed GOATSEMEN.If you're looking for PERUVIAN sound & ALCOHOLIC stuff this is for you!!! ...................................................... 7.5/10

SIGN OF HATE: ‘REBEL OF SOULS OF CHAOS’-CD-R DEMO 2005- BRAZIL-7 TRACKS (NEW REVIEW)

Sign of Hate is an extremely band of Death/Black metal from the best scene of all over the world YEZZZ!!! I told you this because his music can be similar to the older ones which emerged from the principle of 80’s black/death scene as SARCOFAGO. Their music is very inspired by BEHERIT and will contain SARCOFAGO riffs with faster drum work but always are keepin’ the death metal blood.Since 2 years ago I always received some mails & shows flyers from this band, but recently I had the chance to get this stuff & I stay totally glad with this sound. These guys offer Us faster & more intense death metal, nothing guttural, nothing grinding but very raw. Each trax will be contain chaotic riffs very influenced by BEHERIT rhythms. This stuff also contain a SARCOFAGO cover ‘ANTICHRIST’. This is perfectly played. ‘REBELS OF SOULS OF CHAOS’ is perfect show of extrem death metal with chaotic feelin’ into the true 80’s art. This masterpiece is strongly urgent to get it!!! great stuff!!! .........................................................................................7.6/10

SLECHT: ‘TRIUMPH OF DEATH’ CD 2007-BELGIUM: (NEW REVIEW)
This band was unknown for me until moment that I received the package and I had the opportunity to listen to a few heart-breaking melancholy cryings of pain, where the music was betraying the dark presence of the malignant one. The harmony that generates the riff that are the best thing undoubtedly from the down tempo that combines to the perfection with of the melancholies mid tempo parts doing atmospheres of death that without managing to be great art works, it gives us a good idea of a good future of the band. This CD is promotional but seems to be done by very professional people and with their 6 tracks of hatred And melancholy they make me resemble the BURZUM's first ones. I believe that from ANCIENT RITES a band of BELGIUM don’t surprising me for highly quality and professionalism this one is a very good work that all people involved into the black metal music surely happy when will get it and hear it so loud…..please to all readers listen to up volume!!!!..................................7.8/10

SODAMNED.-‘ON THE GALLOWS’-CD 2002-8 TRACKS-BRAZIL.-

SODAMNED is an old Brazilian deathrash metal sounding band. The aggressive riffs, faster drums, guttural vocals, perfectly combination with thrashing rhythm changes. Extreme music playin’ around old style, Underground. I think all in this complete CD is all right, At times I remember old times with tears in my eyes and I wish come back to these times.

SURROGOAT "LANDSCAPE OF CONDOLENCE" - CD 2004 - 6 TRACKS - ESTONIA (NEW REVIEW)

This is a band that has a sound between Edge of Sanity/Carcass/Pungent Stench, where combinate deathrash/Grind, with high quality of riffs and fast rates, those that make you do headbanging & mosh. I am convinced of the great level of bands of Estonia and Surrogoat demonstrates me what they can offer to the underground world. The technic capacity of this band where tracks has united synchronous elaboration to the force and speed are guaranted. good instrumental of tracks, the connection as band works very good that it is shown in the final sound.

SUPPLICIUM:’MUERTE DAME PAZ’-TAPE 2006-8 TRACK-BOLIVIA (NEW REVIEW)
I’m really happy to do a review about of BOLIVIAN death metal band, because We have a traditional brotherhood between Us, and If they’re playing a good music will be better. MUERTE DAME PAZ, has been released some years ago (1998/but recently re-edited). We can called decent death metal almost doom, played it to mid tempo, where the guitar riffs & rhythms is the most outstanding on this tape. I admire so much that they’re playing great rhythm quality, very heavy influenced sometimes by old PARADISE LOST thought. the art cover is well done and the production is ok. Recommend it..............................7.2/10

SADIZTIK IMPALER:’DEMONIC SADIZTIK ONSLAUGHT’: TAPE-6 TRACKS-2006-SINGAPORE-6 TRACKS (NEW REVIEW)
ARGHH!!! Each band that comes from South –east as SADIZTIC IMPALER have a similar sound than South- American bands and this explain Our taste for this side of the world. The band have some years in the black metal scene but recently I can hear it and I proof their extreme brutality to play black metal music. Their black metal way has influences by the Brazilian bands such as SEX TRASH (GODS!!!) and SARCOFAGO mixed with IMPALED NAZARENE and old IMPIETY, Also have some winds to NAER MATARON. What can more add???. Anyway, the musical quality it’s quite ok; the band is not a great band if you’re looking for talentend band and you want beautiful melodies or great breaks or solo’s this stuff is not for you. Here you can find out only extremism, strength and hateful rhythms, very inspired upon their satanic devotion to the master of hell!!! I need to add which they have some other releases out and this stuff you can find out an EP…great stuff………………………………..7.8/10

SURRENDER OF DIVINITY:’MANIFEST BLASPHEMY’-CD 2005-7 TRACKS (NEW REVIEW)
AAARRRGGHH!!! At last, I can obtain this wonderful CD and cannot be in a better time, because they comes with their interview on the next pages. Well, when I listened some tracks I knew what awaited, satanic, rawness and totally evil stuff. Really I’m specially fascinated with this work, the tracks are well conceived, the guitar riffs are inspired by old tunes from IMPIETY, ABHORER, SEX TRASH & HERETIC ANGELS. Truly is an atomic bomb. The rhythms are chaotic, raw,& faster, is not for stupid freaks and new satanic childs…they’re demonstrate their whorship to true Satanism and they’re showing as they only know to do, playing only black metal. The art cover is extremely satanic and was made by ERICK NEYRA (frontman from GOAT SEMEN band). Also I can add that this release contain a multimedia video as bonus. To be honest I must to thanx to SURRENDER OF DIVINITY for play stuff like this…great!!!.............................................................................................................8.3/10

SHEDIM:’THE GREAT BLACK GOAT’-CD DEMO-5 TRACKS-BRAZIL (NEW REVIEW)
From the same label of EVIL EMPIRE, Now comes SHEDIM with a different style but not away from the darkness and the extreme devotion to black metal parts. I say different ways because they’re looking for more technical black metal it’s include some keyboards arrangements, giving more harmonies than brutality, by other way, here you can find some brazilian death touches, but always with this technical rhythms, well played and it’s have sme extreme fury that fill your veins with blood and as hot fire that made you burn!!! In this work, the musical discipline is joined to the technic, where the musicians have great accomplishment as band. Playing a good metallic breaks, it’s not a great band but they makes a good music, looking to black/death metal. I must to say that keyboards parts aren’t sounded like a gothic band. But the disappointed here comes to the bad recording of the CD, the guitars must sound with more power , maybe you can hear that the rhythms and vocal parts are sounded like a SATYRICON, at time some guitar riffs too but always mix with death touches. Good work…………………...7.4/10

SUIDAKRA:’COMMAND TO CHAOS’-CD 2005-GERMANY-13 TRAX (NEW REVIEW)
This band have a great time in the metal scene, their six albums said it all, but really I recently I hear it, because I’m not familiarize with this kind of sound at least I believe that HEADBANGERS BALL will be happy with them.this kind of stuff is the prefer by those guys that made music charts even Commercial tv magazines.Well after this brief intro I can say that they’re playing Thrash metal, melodic, cutting and complety accessible, maybe I can to say that they’re sounding like a commercial thrash metal. But I don’t said that they’re bad musicians, they’re playing very well their instruments, the guitar work are so good, the vocal parts too, at the last I say that the band is solid and they known so perfectly their work, but the disappointed is that they’re sounded extremely commercial and I disgust for this. Well , That’s all I have to said…but If you need more Info only hear AT THE GATES (the last CD) and you can find SUIDAKRA sound. Nothing memorable to buy it!!!...................................................6.3/10

SOLACE OF REQUIEM:’CD 2004-USA-10 TRACKS (NEW REVIEW)
Some time ago that I don’t hear USA bands that have this potential, they makes a high death metal quality gettings some morbid melodies and intense riffs with high brutality doze mix with a great technic… The band know so perfectly the DEATH METAL mean and I think that they have borned to the death metal music. Without doubt this guys will be the new death metal wave, because their riffs are inspired by the godly band XECUTIONER ( more known like OBITUARY), mixing some potential parts a la MORBID ANGEL and EXCIDIUM , GREAT!!!!!! The guitar solo’s goes in perfect harmony with rhythm parts, excellent… It’s a death metal with class!!! Get it now…8.5/10

SEVENTH RACE:’THE BEGINNING’-CD-R PROMO 2005-COLOMBIA-4 TRACKS:(NEW REVIEW)
Sincerely I like so much this stuff, but it’s so usual and cloning which I must to accept it, they’re another typical DIMMU BORGIR fan bands, and then their music has got the same sound than first one. Really I think so, but still I believe which they’re great musicians, and as band it’s very solid and have great cool arrangements, but the lack of identity it’s the worst thing here. Sorry. But You should be looking for your own identity and sound and you’ll a best band, because you have a great sound and the musical quality is good. I hope hear as soon as possible you next stuff to do another review but with your own sound….high quality of musicians and solid band…nothing else to add…………………………………………………………………………..6.8/10
