Frightmare – Snake Island
August 29, 2025
Singer Brian Miller is also active in the band BURNT OFFERINGS, so if the name rings a bell that would make sense. He also is the only original member in the band. The rest came along on 2020. Well, this FRIGHTMARE album “Snake Island” is more of a compilation that houses the most current releases that the band brought into the world.
review
Sadistic Goatmessiah - Violence
August 11, 2025
Highly enjoyable this one. The band name and the album cover pretty much say it all. This is unadulterated raw, fundamental Black and Thrash the way that Satan meant it to be.
review
Void - Forbidden Morals
August 4, 2025
Musically there is one thing for sure; if you like it straight forward without any side-tracking you should skip “Forbidden Morals” as it is like an ADHD patient that has consumed too much caffeine.
review
Verdalack - Force From the Grave
August 4, 2025
The riffs, breaks and tempo changes are available in abundance with VERDALACK. And the tempo usually is quite high, to the fact that I was almost considering to call this music High Speed Metal.
review
Where Evil Follows - Ruination Revelation
July 31, 2025
A good Speed Metal band with a great potential. But this album could be better.
review
Xenos A.D. - Reqviem For The Oppressor
June 18, 2025
If you look up XENOS A.D. on the Metal Archives it says that they are a Thrash Metal band. That is partly true, but then you will have to say that METALLICA also is a pure Thrash metal band. When that band first came to the scene the were dubbed a Speed Metal band, and I feel that is also what XENOS A.D. really is.
review

June 15, 2025

Emissary - Eldritch
March 9, 2025

Pandemic - Phantoms
December 15, 2024
“Phantoms” is a blast. There’s a bit of nod to early Thrash with a Hardcore Punk overlay, but the Blackened element took it over the top for me.

Witchtrap – Hungry As The Beast
October 28, 2024
WITCHTRAP’s “Hungry As The Beast” is one of those unpretentious albums that doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. Just straightforward Speed Metal with little Blackened evil sprinkled on top to make it go down smooth. Highly recommended this one.
