I was surprised,really surprised!!!HANDS OF DOOM is an excellent death heavy metal band in the '80's years.The frontman is DANIEL RONCAGLIOLO,unique leader of this band,he played before in KRANIUM(another great death metal band from PERU),but HANDS OF DOOM is a perfectly mix between CELTIC FROST and BLACK SABBATH sound,with these riffs that make your brain is broke-up.The recording of this excellent CD-r demo was recorded in '98 and march 2003,but produced by GENOCIDIO RCDS on limited edition in the present year.This CD will contain 6 tracks all,all very heavy,doomy,louder and older times.'The last Emperor' is track that mixed CELTIC riffing with crude vocals and good guitar solo's.'Suicidal man' is a URIAH HEEP cover(Well done),in the following side,the vocals parts are typical heavy metal,more in the Black sabbath and NWOBHM stuff.also he played a MOTORHEAD COVER 'ACE OF SPADES' with great feelin and musical professionalism.i must to say that HANDS OF DOOM is extremely heavy,doom,death metal band which take your soul forever!!!Buy it or die!!! ......................................... 8.5/10

HATE SUFFOCATION.-‘THE PROJECT OF HUMANITY-DEMO 2005-5 TRAX EGYPT (NEW REVIEW)

Death metal & more Death metal, this time they comes from the seeds of obscure & pagan land; EGYPT. The music can be catalogue like Morbid, death, doomy, heavy, & crude Death metal. They comes in the same level than INCANTATION,FUNERUS,IMMOLATION. ‘THE PROJECT HUMANITY’ have 5 tracks, all of them with high octanage of bloodly riffs, very deepest, no soft melodies, maybe you can found an aggressive sound with solid guitars, full of darkness, simply death metal. The vocal work is very hard, no guttural, intense & aggressive too. Only one word to describe this stuff. DEATH METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great work...............8/10

HELLTRUCKER - "THE LAST TRUCKSTOP TO HELL" PROMO CD 2004 - 5 TRACKS - BRAZIL  (NEW REVIEW)

Technically the South American bands are in the same line of Europe and Americans ones. Helltrucker gives to a very American sound with high dose of riffs and single technicism listened in American bands those that make of thrash affluent metal obtained a collection piece, those that with inteligence remove the best thing from each musical line to offer a product of superb quality and that are what they offer these Brazilian that combine thrash, death and until heavy conventional metal obtaining a product of optimal quality with great work of riffs and changes of rate accompanied by a perfect and harmonious drummer to us who elevates the product like the perfect assembly of the vocalist. Helltrucker is a band to consider.

HIEMPERIUM.-'LE DECLIN'-PROMO CD 2004-FRA-6 TRACKS

I'm surprised!!!The black french scene is growing up,with great acts like NAHEMAH or MUTILATION that show Us a french assault.HIEMPERIUM is another good band that they sung in french language,to me it's good!!!Musically,it's not the most original thing but I must be admit that their music involved me and shake it my brain!!!Their musical style is aggressive black metal,very interesting,cool black metal style that make for a good contrast with the female vocals on chorus and darkest keyboards.a lot of people dislike with this,but HIEMPERIUM make a good mix of this,is very effective and I feel that 'LE DECLIN' it's an album that you lover or hate it!!!'Av dela des meandres de mes songes' Or 'Nosferatu' is simply great tracks!!!a big hello to Murmure(you rules!!!) .................................................... 8.0/10

HINTHRUNA.-‘BLACK WOODS OF OBLIVION’-CD 2003-ITALY 6 TRACKS.-

I never heard over them before, but my contributor MARTIN LAZARTE told me about them, I say it, let’s go to do an review, then it I listen up all tracks of CD, and believe I surprised on the named, ‘cause their music is simply black metal, easier, occult with some interested parts, neither supposed found great genius forward HINTHRUNA but I have the hopeless by the great name that they played a great music, but error!!! HINTHRUNA is basic black/death metal that combines some awful vocals parts with good music, simple, direct. I said, it’s modern black metal tracks with death spirit, nothing memorable. They’re not bad musicians, a little been there, like symphonic black metal. It’s well done, not original but very listenable................7.1/10

HOLY MOSES:’STRENGHT, POWER, WILL, POSSESSION’-2005 CD (NEW REVIEW)

Once upon a time I said ever 80’s, that I don’t hear to HOLY MOSES and their vocalist and leader SABINA CLASSEN, I’m a totally agree to verify that the years has done more mature to this thrash metal band, their sound , their support to adapt to the news kind of metal nowadays, has done of this band a newest german thrash gods!!! I said that by the force of the riffs, solid bases in perfect combination with thrash tunes and vocals that makes of this band a solid group…very connected as band, but then I guess that vocalist work deserve all our recognization. SABINA nowadays, their vocals parts are more strong that 15 years ago and this is funny…the conjunction of all of this, did it more appreciate this excellent work for me, coz’ they’re showing that HOLY MOSES during all of this years have spilled transpiration and tears to be that its and will be as band. One of the biggest from GERMANY and of the world….great stuff…it’s only for old thrashers…………………………………………………………………………..8/10

HADES ARCHER:’DAUGHTER OF PERVERSION’-REH TAPE 2006-CHILE-5 TRACKS (NEW REVIEW)

This is a parallel band of the frontman and leader of FORCE OF DARKNESS band, DARIO and as we can hear it; the band is following the steps of FORCE OF DARKNESS music with a bit of musical changes. Their bases are continuing solid, thrashier and very heavy, also we can take note about the thrash path which CHILEAN scene has get it; specifically from GERMAN sound. Yeah!! I could be name some influences like NECRONOMICON, OLD ASSASSIN, PROTECTOR and VIOLENT FORCE. The music it’s quite ok, it’s not original but I believe that they’re doing well yet. The riffs are so good, as rude, as faster, fuckin great!!! The vocals parts are raw to be only thrash metal music. Well, talking about the production is good to be a demo tape and the record sound could be better but it’s listenable yet…..good product…..7/10

HELLS HEADBANGERS/DEATHGASM ‘PROMOTIONAL SAMPLER-CD 2006-22 TRACKS-USA (ONLY PROMOTIONAL USE) (NEW REVIEW)

It’s contain 22 tracks of all bands that signed by both record labels and it include som great bands such as: NUNSLAUGHTER, DESTRUKTOR, and VICTIMIZER as the best recknowed bands, but also exist some interesting stuff behind. MANTICORE is opening this wonderful CD as I said in other review, They’re playing great black/death metal more less it’s comparable to GOATLORD and NUNSLAUGHTER; then comes DESTRUKTOR with their amazing black/thrash metal in essence, together ATOMIZER band, they’re the most big prove that black/thrash/speed metal still alive. Who never heard TOXIC HOLOCAUST band or EVIL INCARNATE? I believe that both bands are well knowed into the scene, they’re inspired on old 80’s metal music; also they have some interesting stuff out. Their principal proposal are play so thrash as 80’s times…ARGH!!! Other great bands are: DEAD CONSPIRACY, SPAWN OF SATAN and QUINTA ESSENTIA, the mainly of them, goes to the same death way and satanically influenced on the lyrics and compositions. As you can read this review you’ll notice that I enjoyed so much, but sorry it’s not available for public.So, you must try to get some bands of this review to can enjoy it……..thanx to HELLHEADBANGERS and DEATHGASM for this product…great………………8/10

HOLY SINNER:’METAL CAMP FESTIVAL 2006’-CD-R –ITALY-5 TRACKS (NEW REVIEW)

Many people has tried to destroy the true old metal spirit, but someone could do it??? I don’t believe it!!! Well, this band is fighting to keep the metal essence alive and this production can be the best show of that.Actually it’s so difficult to find out some bands that are still playing like NWOBHM , So when I heard this stuff I stay totally greatefully with this stuff, because I don’t have the chance to hear bands like HOLY SINNER now. Well, talking about their musical ways, they have influences of earlier IRON MAIDEN and the first releases from PICTURE, we can prove it, in the tracks as SPIDER or HOLY SINNER, where the sound is more clear, and they’re showing all his potential. The riffs and rhythms are so typical classical heavy metal oriented, at least they’re sounded true metal yet. What else could I say??? They also have added synths and piano in some tracks given more melodies and harmonies and moving their music to hard rock. At time, they’re sounding quite strange. I guess that you should be hear to know more about of this sound , because it’s a quite difficult to explain you……..6.6/10

More techno death metal has arrive Hyperion comes from Russia a land that Im continuing listening new bands that arrivals with tons of ideas but always they have gone on the black metal way therefore I’m surprised with this band, musically they are offer us a good rhythm changes very structured tracks very Metallized but they are sounded common, all tracks riffs are developed but are not original, also it contain interesting guitar work with good guitar solo’s almost similar than USA Death metal products but with a little bit influence of Swedish death tunes when you listen through one track I believe that you has listening at all, the sound is clear, and production is ok, the best thing here it’s a good musicians but really I prefer Somekind of innovate death metal and the true Swedish metal... good work

HIRAX: ‘ASSASSINS OF WAR’-CD 2006-USA-5 TRACKS -(NEW REVIEW)
It is the best shown of love to the underground metal that those dinosaur are offering Us to the thrash metal music called HIRAX, is incredible the loyalty to their roots, these of the end of 70’s and beginning of 80’s years, still are keeping very strongly on this work. This stuff as their previous works until RAGING VIOLENCE give us the best mix between thrash and hardcore music, and I guess that it is the best true sense behind thrash metal music that someone’s are wishing forget it, I don’t know Why???. But the true is the existence of the perfect communion metal with hardcore music and it is almost perfect, for this reason this work is great and its have a bit difference to their old works , this is more compact sounding, with a best sound, where the riffs are sounding more metal , more worked , with a best musical sound but at time is more faster than ever, very extreme and the vocal work is amazing and unique, the KATON parts, he is showing that by his throats the years never has gone and his highest professionalism are confirm why is one of the best singer in the thrash/core scene, all of this are doing of this work a masterpiece…great
9/10
