GIASSON

 A true assault of distorted and unsettling melodies is unleashed, plunging the listener into a black, bottomless pit where decay and despair reign.

 Abhorrence’s desire to sound as evil and dark as possible emerges clearly in their self-titled EP, a cornerstone of Finnish death metal.

 "The song 'Surf Nicaragua' succeeds in conveying the band’s pacifist message while inciting headbanging in every respectable thrasher."

 "Sacred Reich have always stood out for their music style close to hardcore and for their protest and anti-militarist lyrics."

 Dive into Sacred Reich's Surf Nicaragua for a powerful thrash metal experience rich with intense riffs and meaningful protest lyrics.

 Grotesque had said everything they had to say and each wanted to embark on their personal artistic journey.

 The work remains fresh even today by virtue of the fact that it is not a victim of the clichés of the genres it helped create.

 Explore the raw power of Grotesque’s 'In the Embrace of Evil' and witness the dawn of Gothenburg extreme metal today!

 What many don’t know, or have forgotten, is that this (sub)genre originated from good old thrash.

 This is still a raw album, but tremendously spontaneous, which I personally consider unsurpassable and conceptually superior to all current folk/viking/celtic/symphonic metal works.

 The style presented obviously recalls that of Dissection, which is that perfect blend of black and melodic death that many have tried to reproduce without ever truly succeeding.

 This EP is more than recommended for those who would have wanted a worthy successor to 'Storm of the Light’s Bane.'

 Listen to Cardinal Sin's 'Spiteful Intents' and explore the rich black/melodic death metal legacy shaped by John Zwetsloot.

 Initial Velocity is a long-lasting album in terms of listening thanks to the compositional diversity that characterizes it.

 The splendid 'Black Rose' starts as a classic speed song only to slow down in a finale of rare emotional intensity.

 Listen to Mandator's Initial Velocity to experience raw 80s thrash and speed metal with melodic depth and emotional power.

 The first change came with the decision of guitarist Miika Tenkula to abandon the role of growler to focus on his instrument because he was tired of singing live.

 An album that, according to Jarva, expresses a 'strange purity' that can only be achieved once in a lifetime.

 This is the most sincere testament to the nature of Amorphis at the beginning of their career.

 Those who discovered them through their latest works will be dismayed by this ferocious and brutal sound.

 Dive into Amorphis' brutal origins with Privilege of Evil and discover the raw power of early Finnish death metal.

 The album flows smoothly thanks to the absence of fillers and the alternation of intense tracks, like the opener 'Sweet Dreams', with more considered and paced ones.

 This album definitely belongs to that sizeable group of late-eighties thrash albums that deserved much more fame and consideration from enthusiasts.
