NATTFOG – Mustan Auringon Riitti (Hammer of Hate)

by Janet Willis
Hammer of Hate strikes again with a strong Finnish black metal debut by Nattfog. Maybe it’s my personal bias toward Finnish black metal, but Isomehow knew that I’d like this one before even giving it a listen and yet it still impaled with its melodic Nordic warrior spirit and raw, but refined black [...]

HERESIARCH – Hammer of Intrasigence (Dark Descent Rec.)

by Mike Abominator
Nothing mind blowing or genre defining here folks. Just plain old savage death/black metal madness in the style of bands like Conqueror and other bestial black death bands that love the Blasphemy and the Beherit. I do like the production on here. Sometimes this stuff can just jumble up into a big wall [...]

BEYOND “RELENTLESS ABOMINATION VORTEX”. 2011 DEMO.

By: Mike Abominator
This fucker was one of the highlights of the year in 2011. These German maniacs caused quite a stir in the underground with this masterpiece of death noise. It fucking sounds like it was made back in 1988. It is total death metal, but more in the vein of the Treblinka/early Tiamat, Morbid(Swe) [...]
