SOPHICIDE- PERDITION OF THE SUBLIME (album review)

Sophicide set a new wave for the death metal community to receive an awesome audience just by giving this album 1 spin will prove them that this band has got it. Tearing it up all the way from Germany is where Sophicide resides. For being a debut album, this is one of the most relentless, mind blowing & sickest I've heard in a while. Filled with intricate and articulate guitar solos, vocals that will go so deep into your heart to make it stop & drums and bass that will crush you with every beating. This release is for fans of Fleshgod Apocalypse, Necrophagist, Bloodbath or any extreme metal listener out there. Basically, this band is out for blood, so watch out because this album dominates over some that have tried to cross the line before, but were too afraid to step forward and make the mark that they wanted, and Sophicide shows just what it takes to do just that. This album all in its own merit deserves a 5/5 stars by being one of many debuts that I've come across that are killer sounding as well as enjoyable..So metalheads, if you want a band that will leave you breathless, give Sophicide a jam, you'll be glad you did. Keep it EXTREME, keep it METAL, keep the UNDERGROUND ALIVE & ALWAYS KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

QUIMERA- CAOS (album review)

South American bands don't get enough recognition, but from what I've noticed about Chile is that they have some outstanding metal bands. Take this band Quimera for example. They're not your modern day thrash metal with moderate tempo type riffs. Instead, Quimera's blend of thrash & black metal riffs and vocals that are very thrash sounding will tear your souls apart. Caos, being a 10 song album is head spinning, soul tearing & above all superb in production quality. Very killer indeed. They will make your bones crumble, eject your eyes out of their sockets, and crush your minds. Spanish lyrics this time folks..and know what? Quimera can handle anything that comes their way. So, if you like bands like Sacred Reich, Exodus and even Destruction..then this band should be right up your alley, and if they're not..I don't really give a shit, but these guys are worth checking out. 10 songs are on this album entirely and they've got some killer crunch distortion going on and it is kick ass! I don't have a favorite song from this album, they all sound good. So, I give them a 4.5/5 stars only because I think the album could have used a couple of extra songs, but other than that it's a great sounding album and if you like Underground Metal, then this is something you should have in your collection. Until next time metalheads: KEEP THE UNDERGROUND SCENE ALIVE, KEEP METAL ALIVE & MOST OF ALL; KEEP THOSE HORNS UP UP UP!!!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

THE EVERSCATHED- STILL SCREAMING WORLD (album review)

Crushing, catchy & most of all; a brutal kick in the ass is what you'll get when you spin this album by this 3 piece onslaught band known as The Everscathed. These sick dudes come from Tinley Park Illinois. The Everscathed are guaranteed to incinerate you to ashes. Filled with epic songwriting skills, terrific tempos and a wicked range of vocals. Some of you might agree that this band is a strong force of thrash metal, metal & death metal. The one song which stands out the most for me is "The Urge Commands" which I have posted a YouTube video below for you to enjoy after reading this review. Just by hearing the opening riffs to this song will get ones blood pumping to bang his or her head, and if it doesn't happen...oh my, you're in for it!! Followed by that is the song Dreaded Passage which will embrace you with it's message and make it known. It's been a long time since a band this good excited me as much as The Everscathed have. There are a few slow breakdowns in this album that would make Dying Fetus fans want more. So, you want my rating now, eh? Well, I'm not really a critic about metal music folks, but in all honesty...The Everscathed I here do declare a 5/5 stars based on how awesome they are. Original would be an understatement to some, but this band IS original and genuine. A gem in the rough and a great one worth jamming for YEARS TO COME!!! GET THIS ALBUM! YOU NEED IT!! Until next time metalheads, keep metal alive, keep the UNDERGROUND alive & MOST OF ALL: KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!!! EVILVENGEANCE666 \m/-_-\m/

BRUTALLY BUTCHERED- ( DEMO REVIEW)

Brutally Butchered is sheer brutality and ear blistering sickness coming all the way from Lancaster California. With combining old school and new school ideas is what makes Brutally Butchered a lot more different than most death metal bands. Fusing the sounds can be great because to the listener, they might agree that this band sounds a lot like old school Mortician & Fleshgrind. Awesome riffs, pounding drums that will make the eardrums explode, awesome bass tones & vocals that are like early Chris Barnes when he was in Cannibal Corpse during Tomb of the Mutilated era. On this 11 song opus your mind won't be the same after listening to it, that is if you can understand the words...LOL, I can. You thought some bands were twisted? Guess again, this 3 piece band will destroy you. From what I'm thinking, Brutally Butchered has a lot of influences, and they are playing with some major death metal acts this year like Exhumed & Disgorge (USA, I'm assuming), be sure to check them out!! This is an awesome combo of the early DEMOS. They get a 5/5 stars from me based on how kick ass they are. Find them on Facebook. I can't find a favorite song on here, but I like them all equally. Until next time metalheads across the world, KEEP THE METAL ALIVE, KEEP IT REAL & ALWAYS KEEP THOSE HORNS UP!!! \m/-_-\m/ EVILVENGEANCE666

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
