Lacrimas Profundere from Germany are back with a new release on Napalm Records, called Antiadore, which has a total running time of forty five minutes. And I’ll be honest: I’ve never been a huge amateur of this band. This album won’t change my opinion. For the better part, Antiadore goes on in the vein of some of the latest records like Songs For The Last View or The Grandiose Nowhere.
This review deals with a re-issued release of Californian act Insanity. This band was formed during the eighties and one of the (many) American acts back then that played Death Metal in its purest form, yet unmodestly injected with furious Thrash-nastiness. They recorded some demonstrational material, and in 1994 they were finally able to release their debut full length, Death After Death, via the very small and shortly living German label M.B.R. Records.
Despite the title, The Uncreated Demo isn’t just a demonstrational effort by Hod. It’s a real teaser for the upcoming Book Of The Worm album, which will come out later this year (I hope I will have the opportunity to review the stuff, dear website’s Master Chief). I was, for your interest, pleased and surprised by Serpent, which came out at the very end of 2009 (see review posted on March 13th 2010).

About one year after the magisterial record Encirclement, Finland’s Decaying release their third full length via Hellthrasher Records from Poland. With The Last Days Of War, the quartet (guitar player / vocalist Matias Nastolin, bassist Sebastian Bergman, guitarist Henri Hirvonen, and drummer Benjam Lahdenpää) plays on in the vein of the former stuff, both musically and lyrically.
Hey, seems like this bandname has had quite some popularity with Thrash Metal acts in the past (era late '80s – early '90s) with no less than 3 acts known by that name having recorded material for posterity. From Germany (the Eislingen/ Baden-Würtemberg area) came a band which released 3 full-length albums between 1988 to 1992 (with 2 demos prior), and in the US there were twó bands, one from West Mystic (Connecticut) which left us a 1989 EP, and one from NYCity (and members of Tampa, Florida) which produced 5 demos between 1988 and 1992.
Taberah was created and Inspired by the strong musical bond between Jonathon Barwick and Tom Brockman, and saw light in 2004. The bands sound can best be described as influenced by typical big bands like Iron Maiden, AC/DC and Black Sabath. Typical, but that doesn’t mean bad.
