Dyskinesia “Dalla Nascita” (2011)

14. May 2018 Marco Guerra Avitabile 0

I grew up with the conviction that nothing’s real what you cannot experience. But is it always real, what we experience? I can’t exactly remember how nor when, but I remember I found myself in […]

Dynahead “Antigen” (2008)

14. May 2018 Adam Matlock 0

Dynahead’s latest release, Antigen is a curious release. At times the band focuses their intensity into pure progressive thrash – nothing terrible but quite similar to things we’ve heard before, almost as though Meshuggah and […]

Dornenreich “Flammentriebe” (2011)

14. May 2018 Mystery Flame 0

Dormant spirit of the forest, silent underneath the iced blanket of snow, awaken to these anguished prayers, screamed from the abyss of a collective soul yearning for purifying fire… Arise to the thunder of the […]

Dornenreich “Nachtreisen” (DVD – 2009)

14. May 2018 Katja Honeywine van de Barrel 0

If “Nachtreisen” was on the show with the programmatic name DORNENREICH above it, one can almost be sure to expect a wild trip to musical realm. The Austrian combo, Eviga, Inve and Gilvan who has […]

Dornenreich “Hexenwind” (2005)

14. May 2018 Jobst 0

In this album, in some continuation to the previous, Dornenreich’s music reflects the structure of a dream. The passages, turning from bleak and blur dark metal to soft Neo-Folk, laced with delicate touches of Ambient, […]

Dordeduh “Dar De Duh” (2012)

14. May 2018 Mystery Flame 0

Let’s be honest, some – if not most – fans have been waiting for this release as confirmation that the true incarnation of the original Negura Bunget project is to be found here rather than […]

Dordeduh “Valea Omului” (2010)

14. May 2018 Mystery Flame 0

Hupogrammos and Sol Faur chose to carry on the stellar work initiated with Negura Bunget under a very evocative name: DorDeDuh. I find this term, made of two archaic Romanian words loosely translating as “yearning […]

Velvet Cacoon “P Aa Opal Poere Pr. 33” (2009)

13. May 2018 Adam Matlock 0

I wrote a few weeks ago on these pages about Velvet Cacoon’s other release of this year, “Atropine,” which was well-hyped with plenty of unprovable mystique about source tapes being buried for years before completion, […]

Velvet Cacoon “Atropine” (2009)

13. May 2018 Adam Matlock 0

The funny thing about anticipation in music is how little a band can actually contribute to the anticipation to still make it strong. Within the metal scene, all a band needs to say is that […]

Ved Buens Ende “Written in Waters” (1995)

13. May 2018 aVoid 1

Ved Buens Ende (“at the rainbow’s end” in Norwegian) is/was the brain child of Carl-Michael (Eide, a.k.a. Czral & Aggressor, also of Aura Noir, Cadaver, Dødheimsgard + various projects), here together with Vicotnik (see interview […]
