Cultes Des Ghoules - Coven, Or Evil Ways Instead Of Love, 2016 CD Album x 2      Hells Headbangers - HELLS 190 At last! Exceptional crop of new or complementary meganoise today! I am acquiring the Nuclear oputput in reverse chronological order, here comes the penultimate album Jehovirus, as much a Slayer clone as the ripping Formula For Anarchy, maybe a little less intense, still absolutely headbanging, great stuff! Now for the new stuff: Tetsu Arrey were already back in 2014 with another load of their juicy hardcore punk, still very much under the umbrella of Poison Idea, Nippon style - to be consumed avidly. More Japanese destruction with the latest Birushanah: I might say "more doom", but it would put an unfair limit on what they do. it is slow and mesmerizing, and also very intensely engaging through their trademark cyclone of burning sounds. Perfection in the doomnado! NB: I was too lazy to enter the CD version on Discogs, this is not the vinyl rip. Time for total death: Putrevore attack the meat with a successor to the merciless Macabre Kingdom of 2012 with these awesome Tentacles Of Horror. Complete crushing in true Grave format! Complete winner of straightforward dirty sleazy catchy deathgasm! Kill again! Now the one that was the most anticipated appearance on this blog is the new deadly, invincible release by the thrash metal masters Gotsu-Totsu-Kotsu. This album is the most perfect prototype of modernized thrash massacre one can dig from the bowels of the underground. Incredible energy, addictive monster riffs, relentless pummeling, irrepressible vocal invasion and these unmatched bass lines: it is all there, and more. Another step upward from their previous black diamonds! With the perfect production and artwork, your meat must now surrender. Bow down to the ultimate death thrash FUCK YEAH!!! Darkthrone are also back in great shape. The Arctic Thunder returns to their more primal side, in comparison to the fantastic heavy metal-charged epicness of The Underground Resistance. First class black ashes to ashes, dead dust to dust! However it is eclipsed by the new monument from Bethlehem. This unbelievable thing was totally unexpected from me, and it reaches new altitudes in the zeriverse of evilgasm. This album is only too good to be true : old fashioned Bethlehem rejuvenated by a new line-up surrounding Bartsch with all the incisive riffing, massive tanks of grave rhythms, crazy female vokills into the trademark hypnotism and non-detachable melodies that is Bethlehem's secret weapon. Welcome the return of the mortal heavy blackness ultimatizer!!! FUCK JA!!! And Onslaught grace us with a killer live release that surpasses the previous killer live release of 2009 - old songs, new songs, non-stop thrashing, exponential riffs and thermonuclear devastation of the planet earth! The Poles in Acid Drinkers are back too with a new collection of thrashing metal in their own fashion - it rocks, it rolls and it cancels again any attempt by Metallica to remain relevant (yeah there was new Metallica too, do not waste your time and drink this acid instead). Acid Drinkers party! The Levitation Hex offers us a new and outstanding continuation to their amazing debut, which confirms at the same time the similitude and the departure from a simple continuation of Alchemist. Cohesion is a masterpiece of Voivodian size. I used already too many time the words "awesome" and "amazing" today but what am I supposed to say about such a grand album? It rocks you to death in a desert full of agile scorpions that inhabit dried up skulls of vanquished beasts, this is what it is. Superior and ripe for manic compression. Then there is the new OvO: non-metal noise for lovers of noise that is not metal but still mincing and gritting and possessing. Less doom than before, but more nerve splitting and meat chewing. Their new sonic experiments will only dissolve other parts of thy corpse. Also completely unexpectedly, a live release by Razor just surfaced and those, like me, who feared a crappy bootleg can stop anguishing and start thrashing. This is an official release and it rips from start to finish. You have not heard Razor that fast and furious! Most of the hits are there in such a deadly fashion that you will play the album twice in a row! A-MA-ZING classic thrash attack! 2017 is the return of Power Trip... and it is a trip into the most powerful thrash metal of the new generation! They surpass here the already overwhelming class of Manifest Decimation. This Logic is even more intense and heavier while retaining clear distinctions between songs. Short, sharp, perfect reformulation of the Cro-Mags riffing and hammering from Best Wishes with the heaviness of Obituary and Onslaught and a singer that could fit in Ringworm. Killer thrashing rezer!! And finally, let us welcome the new black monoliths from Cultes Des Ghoules: the mcd features a couple of nasty songs that serve as a great introduction to the incredible extension of the darkness on Coven. First, this spectacular album comes into a fantastic digibook, but more essentially crushes the listener into the crypts of x rays with a truly epic black metal opera. But no, fear not the synths, keyboards and clean, uber produced approach, no, this is Cultes Des Ghoules! This is fucking dirty, bleeding, decaying and haunted by the ghosts of a thousand expert beasts with horns! Possessed by the eternal black death forever corpsezerrer!!!

Count Raven - Mammons War, 2009 CD Album (ZIP FIXED)      I Hate Records - IHR CD 065 Sabbath day! Count Raven has led the Black Sabbath/mid-Ozzy era impersonation industry for almost three decades. Some of this stuff is slower, grimmer and more morose, some of it is exactly like Volume 4, all of it is good and great. Well done! Storm Warning is the most aggressive and Destruction Of The Void is the most funeral of the lot, and probably my favorite, or is it the awesome High On Infinity? Mammons War is an excellent comeback, it carries the best production value and rocks brilliantly. We need more! Don't be dead, now that the Ozzy crew officially quit for good. All for doom! Doom for all! Remove brackets and unzip: [ravenizer] !ZER Count Raven ZER!

Mace

01. Mace - Process Of Elimination, 1985 Vinyl LP Album      Restless Records, C.O.M.A. Records - 72074-1, none 02. Mace - The Evil In Good, 1988 Vinyl LP      Medusa Records, Ever Rat Records - 7 72283-1, 7 72283-1 Yes, they were on Metal Massacre 5 in 1984, and yes their records artwork look like entries in the thrash metal index. But, at least to these old ears, they are much more punk than metal. The first album is entirely punk, with noisy guitar solos maybe, but totally punk nonetheless with a taste for speed metal riffing like an overheated infusion of compact Dead Boys and Kraut into a bathtub of Executioner and primitive Zoetrope. The second LP sees Mace intensify the metal riffage and the tempo without throwing out the punk thing and we smile even more because this is great. Competent, rough, angry, straight forward and great. Fans of Genöcide know what I mean. Mace me to a pulp! Remove brackets and unzip: [punkothrashosaur] !ZER Mace ZER!

Extreme Noise Terror - Extreme Noise Terror, 2015 CD Album      Willowtip - WT-135 Over three decades of earslaughter! From crust 'til grind! The most iconic UK grinding punk attack since Discharge and The Exploited are still busy torturing the microphones. Poor gear. I bought the Earslaughter split as a Chaos UK fan, I ended up addicted to E.N.T. forever. Raw, relentless hardcore exploding full of rage and distortion, that's what the hungry ape needs. The highlights of the discography should be the Peel Sessions, Retrobution and the newest album (and its Outo cover), if you need to be picky. Being And Nothing is a special entry not to be missed, for its totally death grinding thrash attack nourishes the appetite for a deadly mix of Terrorizer and Phobia.

Aggregate conflagration of everything from hell! Black.death.sublimation! In the blackiverse, very few black holes are as inescapable as the malevolent output of Revenge and Conqueror. Both teams are operated by expert noisesmiths previously involved in the maxizerifier Sacramentary Abolishment and Axis Of Advance. But Revenge | Conqueror increase the level of pain to even new summits, this stuff is more intensely hostile than all other hostile sounds combined and delivered with the frantic speed and abrasive distortion of the coming global dissolution. The end is nigh. Listen and bleed! My appreciation of this majestic sculpture of disgust and torment grows chronologically: each release is a little more fine-tuned in the composition, execution and production of that permanently hateful sonic cannibalism. Can't wait for the next release. Perfect tunnel of isolation when you need to concentrate on producing logic. Flabbergasting deathonizer of the bulldozing compressor! Kill.fucking.everyone!

Inside Out

Inside Out - She's Lost Her Head, 1991 CD Album      Meantime Records - COX 032 CD Two bands for the price of none. No Spiritual Surrender is the sole EP of that heavy hardcore band that was fronted by the Rage Against The Machine singer. Six songs of metallized NYHC-sounding solid intensity with a Swiz | Crown Of Thornz vibe, nothing original but very well done. The other three entries are from a different Inside Out, a female trio that managed to bring together the good side of the grungy thing with some of the drive of Rhythm Pigs or even Victims Family (especially that amazing Nose EP). Refreshing and energetically rocking! Remove brackets and unzip: [insider rezer] !ZER Inside Out ZER!
