TINNITUS- PERFECTLY ENDARKENED (DEMO REVIEW)

Starting with an acoustic with a bit of melody for an intro starts this 4 song DEMO. Tinnitus then rips into some great speed metal type riffs. It's hard to call them a death metal band based on the vocals. However musically, they are fantastic. David G., I'm not going to dis on you at all, but I think you should get more guttural like when you growl in the beginning of Blotter Knowledge. Your vocals remind me of Joel Grind a bit dude which I dig. The solo in Blotter Knowledge is phenomenal. On this 4 song DEMO, I found it to be pretty damn good and tight. This band has an old school vibe to them a lot like speed metal & hardcore. Overall, it's kinda hard to to decipher their sound, but it goes to show and prove that they have talent to make their music heavier as time goes on, and this is actually great for being a DEMO. They have a very distinct thing about them. Give this band a few listens, maybe they'll suck you in and spew you out like they did to me. All in all, I give this effort of music a 4.5/5 stars, but it does tell me Tinnitus is a good band to jam out to and I'd love to see them LIVE someday. Until next time metalheads, keep it METAL, KEEP IT REAL & KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

CONTROSIGILLO- (ALBUM REVIEW)

With a band named Controsigillo, you'll be surprised as to what they have to offer you as a listener and fan. They fuse progressive rock with a bit of metal pounding rhythms that are unmatched. Hailing all the way from Italy is where Controsigillo reside. Enrico Pulze (Vocals) had sent me this unique and interesting debut. The song Crop Circles is stuck in my head for life. However, they are very talented musicians. It's kind of hard for me to describe their sound, you'd just have to hear it for yourselves. Some parts of the album remind me of Pink Floyd a little bit, some of it reminds me of early Metallica. So basically, this band is awesome. The guitars sound is great, and in the beginning you'll hear an acoustic and melodic intro to start of this album. From start to finish, the vocals are very clear and clean..you won't hear any growling with these dudes, but you will hear great song structure and stuff you never thought would be possible in metal music. Controsigillo gets a 4.75/5 stars based on how their talent is superb and unique in its own way. I know I have a hard time understanding the lyrics when none are present, but it is a good album regardless. So if you want, give this band a chance...they have some good stuff to offer. Below is a video for the song Crop Circles, give it a shot. With all this said, keep it METAL, KEEP THE UNDERGROUND ALIVE FOREVER & MOST OF ALL: KEEP THOSE HORNS UP METALHEADS!!!! Until next time, this is EVILVENGEANCE666 signing off for now. \m/-_-\m/

ALTAR OF PAIN- SEVERE SCOURGE (ALBUM REVIEW)

Coming all the way from Madeira Portugal is a brutal onslaught 4 piece band known as Altar of Pain. Formed in 2010, this band has proven that they can be a part of the underground death metal community. This album entitled Severe Scourge is amazingly fast, brutal & most of all a rare find for anyone's collection that are into extreme music such as death metal. I can hear some of their influences like Carcass, Fleshgod Apocalypse & Morbid Angel. This album will impale you with their slow yet pummeling breakdowns, along with ferocious growls and semi-technical guitars and of course some excellent blast beats. It sounds like the drummer's major influence is Mike Smith of Suffocation. I wonder sometimes about that, lol. A band like this is on my bucket list to see play LIVE, so it had better happen soon. The guitar solos are very harmonic and dark like Morbid Angel when Erik Rutan was in the band. I can definitely see this band getting better and better as time goes on. Determination by the band is what will carry them into the future of metal. See, this is something people are missing about death metal nowadays. It doesn't have to be SUPER FAST, or SUPER BRUTAL...just give it a good beat and some good riffs and that's what makes Altar of Pain separate from many bands I've heard that are trying way too hard to be good. Don't get me wrong, some of the death metal bands these days are good, but Altar of Pain is bringing back the old school sound that a lot of death metalheads have actually been missing for about a decade now. So as far as Severe Scourge goes, I'm going to give it a 4.5/5 only because I think some of the riffs such as the same note being played..that gets dull and boring to me, but some might find it to be cool, and that's all right...just not my thing. The 6th song on this album starts off reminding me of early Jungle Rot then into a harmonizing riff swapping situation. Anyhow, give them a listen..they are a good band regardless as to how I feel about them. So, with all of that said, KEEP METAL ALIVE, KEEP THE UNDERGROUND ALIVE AND MOST OF ALL...KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

BLOODY CORPSE DISMEMBERMENT- GUTFUCK (ALBUM REVIEW)

Smeared with grotesque violence, anti-political views, a couple of sweet cover songs & a LIVE performance is what fills up this 27 song opus. This 3 piece band is out of California and from what this band brings is a brutal grindcore and hardcore sound. They'll blast your face off while they stomp you down to ugly town. This band is just as cool and talented like the legendary Meat Shits. I recommend BCD to you if you like Meat Shits, Napalm Death, Sick of it All, Total Fucking Destruction, Lividity and Vulva Throne. For fans that are into the gore grind style, this is a must have. Screams that sound like Vision of Disorder with a sound from the instruments which reminds me of the Meat Shits and Total Fucking Destruction. In some spots, I had a hard time hearing Roger's vocals, but that's okay...because this is really decent grindcore. Fuzzy, just the way it was when Napalm Death released Scum and just the way I like it. So, if you are ready to join the pit with these 3 heavy shredders, armor up and join the fight. 4/5 stars for this band, only because I think Roger needs to turn his mic up a little more. I do rate bands yeah, but know what? One might think different, but this band is good. I can see them getting better in time. So every metalhead out there, keep it EXTREME, keep it SICK and KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

VERMIN- PARADISE ALBUM REVIEW

When you listen to this album, it will engulf you and smash your head into a wall, repeatedly. That's what this band did to me, and made me want to boogie a little. This 4 piece band is badass, brutal & most of all...VERY creative. Awesome songwriting, killer vocals and great sounding guitars and bass. The drummer shows in his skills that not all thrash/death metal bands need to have blast beats. Vermin, coming all the way from Beyruth Germany with their debut entitled Paradise will prove to the world of their kick ass talent. You won't hear any clean vocals in this band, but the mid range screams are very impressive. Vermin can shred you a new asshole if you don't watch it, so if you don't own this...you fucking should! Brace yourselves as this is their debut, and for being just that...this is an album and band to look out for. With small spots with clean guitar sounds, and phenomenal leads, this band really has it going for them. If you don't own the album Paradise, it's a must have for your collection. Trust me, I wouldn't bullshit about a band that has super awesome talent such as Vermin. So far, I've listened to this album a total of 12 times, and each time I listen to it, it just gets better. I am certain that this band will rise to always get better in their journey with music. For being their debut album, Paradise deserves a 5/5 stars just by how they are capable and knowing how to compose songs that are catchy, brutal and most of all...VERY impressive. Below, I posted the video for the song Empty Eyes. That is the 3rd track on Paradise. So, if you don't own this by now..you better try to find a way and get it. This German band will surprise you with pinched harmonics and Pentatonic scales and many other things that will make the headbanging start and then stop and so on so forth. Also, may I include that when I introduce to my brother new music that is in the metal world, 95% of the time I'm told to turn it off, but in this instance...he actually liked it a lot. Too bad he won't be contributing to this review like I had thought he might, but maybe some other time.  To me, this is a strong combination of thrash metal, death metal and a bit of classic rock with a small pinch of funk. Well, that's it this time you headbanging metal fans, keep it real, keep it metal and most of all...KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

GAPE ALBUM REVIEW

Coming from Tasmania Australia is a devastatingly heavy and brutal slamming death metal band known as Gape. This 5 piece will shut you the fuck up if you get out of line. Reminding me of early Lividity, Lust of Decay, Lord Gore and Abominable Putridity. Whoever thought that a band this killer would share the same stage with the technical death metal band Psycroptic..well go figure, they're both from Australia. More power to them!! From slamming breakdowns that crush your bones to killer grooves that will rip you to shreds. Vocals that remind me of a better sounding Chris Barnes that are deep guttural growls along with some awesome sounding gurgles, drums that are fierce and wicked, and the bass is totally killer with amazing sound. I want to meet this band, along with whoever produced their debut. Some of the intros that they have, from random stuff is VERY humorous, that is if you have a sick sense of humor like I do. I can only understand a small portion of the lyrics, and get this! There are NO LYRICS INCLUDED. That makes this band a must have, and yeah...they are damn sick! By far one of the best NEW bands I've discovered. Filled with torture, debauchery and twisted perversions, this band has it going on for them. For the cover art being of an oversized vagina with dead victims laying around it..probably from an unbearable stench...who the fuck knows? Ha ha, it's just their luck, right? I mean for real people, open your orifices and indulge in some grotesque and disturbing and greatly talented band known as Gape. They get a 5/5 stars from me, just based on everything that they do. Before I forget, they do a killer cover of the song Big Balls. I can't find a favorite song...they're ALL GOOD. Keep metal alive forever, keep it REAL, keep it SICK, keep it BRUTAL...and most of all you metalheads, KEEP THOSE FUCKING HORNS UP!!!!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

KONKEROR- THE ABYSMAL HORIZONS ALBUM REVIEW

Technical death metal...what bands come to your mind when you hear or see those words? Well for a band named Konkeror, I'm finding them to be just as good as Obscura, Necrophagist & Nile to name a few. Konkeror sounds like a strong combination of technical death metal and black metal. The vocals sound like Peter from Vader in some spots. They are melodic and crushingly brutal like Behemoth, Vader and many others. The riffs and beats are superb and steady. This band will knock you out like a Golden Glove champion boxer!!! In the second song "Towers," you'll hear a reverse sweep during the beginning. A band this good should be signed. However, I know I rarely mention anything about cover art, but in this instance I will. Konkeror's cover art is uniquely beautiful with how its portrayed to be. The Abysmal Horizons for being their debut album takes the icing and puts it on the cake for you. Filled with ambient interludes, strong quality production and most of all, awesome skilled songwriting and structures. I'm a firm believer that this Michigan based band, Konkeror will rise to always put you in checkmate. So far, I've spinned this disc a total of 11 times. This band FUCKING SHREDS!!!!! BE sure to like them on facebook. You'll really be glad that you did. This debut deserves a 5/5 stars for fucking sure!!!! Below is the track listing for the album, The Abysmal Horizons and the members info and also their official facebook page. Remember metalheads; keep it real, keep it sick, keep it brutal and most of all keep THOSE MOTHER FUCKING HORNS UP!!!! EVILVENGEANCE666 \m/-_-\m/
