P.K.I.K.T. plays Grindcore and they’re from Lithuania. Be it known that such names were so stupid to my liking but I won’t go over with the D.E.T.A.I.L.S. I’ve seen names like this in almost 60% of the Grindcore population and still no idea why would a band pick a name that can’t be remembered correctly. This band consist of 5 person but it all sounds like there are only 3 people hammering and battering the instruments! To say the least, music these guys play is more like a mix between grindcore, thrash and even punk - and mind you, these songs were so typical that makes me sleep, I’m sorry!

INTERMENT - Into The Crypts Of Blasphemy CD Review (Death Metal)

Interment is an old Swedish Death Metal act, and their pictures really captivates those glorious times! Hah, those B/W photographs just push me back in time! Okay, given the information, I must expect quality music here since some guys from Centinex were also involved. Does that guarantee anything? We’ll see about that later. In the meantime, I am on the band’s website and been wondering in their youtube page and get ready for this… ‘Drums of Death’! The video is nothing but stupid (captured in sideways) but I think most drummers want to do that kind of shit so there you go… -
THORNIUM - Fides Luciferius CD Review (Black Metal)
Black Metal veterans from Sweden, Thornium, hibernated and now being resurrected. I am all for this ‘back from the dead’ bullshit, but really now… what about the music? You should know that once you came from the early 90’s, people expect so much from you. Specially now that you’re ‘back from the dead’. Ok, so the band was resurrected last 2008 in which I didn’t care about. The old release got re-released (…yawn!) in a nice looking Double LP with kvlt freebies (…once again yawn!) by a German Label. So… right there, we got ourselves an old Swedish band back to life. Dutch Soulseller Records then came into the picture and so here we are now with Fides Luciferius, the new album! -
WATAIN - Lawless Darkness CD Review (Black Metal)
After three years since Sworn to the Dark, Watain is back with a new album and they call it “Lawless Darkness”. Metalheads all over the world were so excited and these guys from Uppsala, Sweden seems to be feeding their thirst quite nicely. So okay, for me… there’s not much “lawlessness” in this record. It ain’t br00tal! So don’t expect your boring blast beats in Black Metal - well, blasts are fun to listen to sometimes so I’m taking my word back, eh? -
DARKTHRONE - Circle the Wagons (Speed Metal/Punk)
Darkthrone’s Circle the Wagons is another attack to all of the worthless pussies who cries “sell out” to the band! This review will not be talking about the band’s Death Metal or hell… their Black Metal past! Everybody knows it! And the next time you thought that the new Darkthrone went sell out, try thinking of quitting your Transivanian Hunger rip-off “side project” first before acting like a man, ’nuff said! -
SAMMATH - Triumph in Hatred CD
My first introduction to Sammath came in ‘Dodengang’ and I don’t know if that is a good experience to talk about. I think not! I remember hating that album for it is ‘too loud’ for my quiet taste! Not that I dislike loud albums but this ‘loudness war’ just makes me sick! So okay, one of the staff forwarded this pack to me and played it skeptically and to my surprise - it was good! No non-sense intros, etc, all that gay stuff that starts an album is stupid if you ask me. Triumph in Hatred starts the album in real music which is a pure bonus for a bored reviewer like me. -
HATESTORM - Filth Purity CD (Black Metal)
Black Metal from Russia, Hatestorm, might be an oddball to listen to. First, I’ve no idea why is such a thick accent for this album ah ah! The songs were typically running in and out to the point of being generic and believe me, you don’t want to listen to that. The production is crude, but that dirty after all. -
HELLHOUND - Metal Fire From Hell CD (Heavy Metal)
Traditional Heavy Metal band from Japan, Hellhound, got this release somewhere in Japan and got the French Inferno Records involved in the CD release. First, the album cover is another bunch of ridiculous or should I say, traditional silly artworks. A guy and a guitar… nothing gets more cheesy than that! So, why not go down deeper into the band’s music for instance… -
TO HATE - Different Faces CD (Death Metal)
Coming from Slovenia, To Hate, is a rare band even metal-archives don’t have them listed yet hahaha! Right, we’ve the privilege to review this cheesy act right now. So yes, these guys play Melodic Death Metal. Somewhat linked to the early Gothenburg style which bores me a thousand times each of the track kicks in. I’ve seen a lot of packaging and it seems to me that this one is the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever seen! It is a PRO-PRINTED CDR, means that the face of the disc is silkscreened and that is in full colour - not that it’s my first time receiving cdrs of this kind ‘though… -
Future Is Tomorrow - Fit To Die (Part I) CD (Power Metal)
Italian Progressive Power Metal call themselves Future is Tomorrow released this CD called Fit to Die (Part 1). It’s a self-released debut CD. If you ask me, these guys really know what they are doing and since we’re talking about Power Metal here, expect all the elements to be perfectly blending with these guys music. Anything from the song writing, the cool guitar playing, being back up with a really solid and crystal clear production makes this independent release a slap to all of the labels releasing worthless fagocore bands!
