The Spirit released their fourth album, “Songs Against Humanity” in October 2024. First of all, I should mention that the album cover had been made by Eliran Kantor and it is really great. The Spirit is one of the most successful bands drawing their inspirations largely from Diss
The winter season makes me feel sluggish. I don’t feel like doing much. I even took a break from writing reviews, which I love very much. On the other hand, I have listened to some really good albums during this time. I added a few to my review list, and my number one among them
The effect of seasons on human psychology is a well-known fact. We are currently experiencing the winter season, as the sky journeys into shades of gray by detaching itself from light. The trees prefer to retreat inward and shed the leaves—the external limbs of the tree—that were
I miss Hellenic Black Metal that is done right. Don't get me wrong. Yoth Iria is a new band comprising experienced musicians coming from the scene and have just released their second album. But the fact that the band's backbone is ex-Rotting Christ member Jim Mutilator, they have

Brutal Assault festival is always entertaining. This year’s difference was that we were going on behalf of Extreminal Magazine and would do interviews for the Extreminal Metal TV Youtube channel. One of the nice aspects of Brutal Assault is the contracted hotels where shuttles op
All-Star band news always creates excitement. Of course, it is not easy, for a band to be launched as an All-Star, the musicians who make up the band must have proven their maturity. Category 7 is one such band. John Bush on vocals, Mike Orlando and Phil Demmel, one of the mediat
Confining music into darkness or darkness into music? It's hard to tell which one Akhlys are trying to do. However, what certain is that here is a pitch-black set of sounds. Akhlys is a band who started their career making dark ambient. I missed those days of the band because I’m
Sarke return after three years with their eighth album. As a listener who enjoys listening to the band, I actually got to know them a little late. Of course, it was impossible not to hear the band because of Great Nocturno, but I can honestly say that I started listening to the b
