 "The sound of the album ended up being raw and entirely uncompromising. Even ahead of its time, for its primordial aggression."

 "Mike Williams, evangelist of a bad novella, ambassador of a universal message of self-harm, marginalization, poverty, synthetic trips gone wrong..."

EyeHateGod’s debut album ‘In The Name Of Suffering’ is a raw, aggressive sludge metal milestone recorded on a shoestring budget. Its chaotic, flawed sound captures themes of pain, marginalization, and despair. The album’s imperfect and primal nature makes it a powerful and influential work in the metal underground. The reissue brought renewed attention and a Europe tour, solidifying its cult status. Listen to EyeHateGod’s raw sludge masterpiece and experience the pure intensity of ‘In The Name Of Suffering.’

 "It’s a different band that plays different music, darker and harder than now."

 The sensation is really that of having in your ears the chewing of a tusked and metallic monster that churns acidic riffs...

Colour Haze’s debut album 'Chopping Machine' (1995) presents a darker, heavier sound very different from their later work. Recorded by the trio formed in Munich, the album combines sludgy riffs with dissonant, menacing tones. Despite its raw production and limited distribution, it reveals early glimpses of the band's evolving guitar style. Although not commercially successful, it holds charm for fans interested in their origins. Discover the raw origins of Colour Haze’s sound with 'Chopping Machine'—listen now and experience their dark, heavy debut!

 The Unwound is disgustingly shabby. And that’s a good thing.

 I confess: I feared a boring concert... I’m happy I was wrong.

The review recounts the intense and sweaty atmosphere of Electric Wizard's 2009 live show in Padova at the Unwound venue. Despite logistical hassles and discomfort, the crowd's energy and band's raw performance made for a memorable night. Supporting band Blood Ceremony impressed live more than on record. The reviewer appreciates Electric Wizard's mythic aura and the uncanny blend of doom metal with vintage horror visuals. The night ended exhausted but satisfied. Dive into the intense atmosphere of Electric Wizard’s Padova live show—listen, watch, and experience doom metal’s raw power!

 "Neptune With Fire is certainly not devoid of charm, and some passages are truly suggestive, but what's missing is unpredictability and a stroke of genius."

 The solo in 'Orcus Avarice' is perhaps among the worst I've ever heard, so flat and poorly played is it.

Ancestors' debut album Neptune With Fire offers an ambitious mix of stoner and 60s psychedelic rock, structured around two lengthy tracks. While praised by many, the reviewer finds it verbose, technically limited, and repetitive. Some passages are suggestive, but it lacks unpredictability and memorable innovation. The album is recommended to form your own opinion despite these criticisms. Listen to 'Neptune With Fire' and decide if this ambitious stoner rock debut lives up to its hype!

 If they had dared to change even a single comma, someone would have accused them of senile dotage.

 For twenty years they haven’t missed a beat.

The review emphasizes Slayer's refusal to change their style in 'Hate Worldwide,' maintaining the same sound they have had for 20 years. Some listeners appreciate their consistency, while others miss the older tones and vocals. Overall, the album is seen as a continuation of the band's established identity. Listen to Slayer's 'Hate Worldwide' and decide if their timeless thrash metal sound still hits the mark!

 None Shall Defy is simply one of the darkest and angriest albums one could find those years in the bins at the Autogrill around Toronto.

 An album that certainly cannot aspire to the title of masterpiece, but a delight for every convinced thrashophile, completist, nostalgic.

Infernal Majesty's None Shall Defy is a raw and dark thrash metal album from 1987, rooted in the Canadian underground scene. While not a masterpiece, it channels the spirit of Slayer, Possessed, and Dark Angel, delivering angry, primitive thrash. The album showcases rough production and limited technical polish but holds historical influence. It appeals to thrash enthusiasts and completists craving authentic old-school metal. Dive into Infernal Majesty's None Shall Defy and experience a raw slice of 80s thrash metal underground!

 "Six songs for six serial killers, where our bloodthirsty tamagotchis surgically extract the Sabbathian canon from gloomy Birmingham to drag it... to the desolate landscapes of rural and cannibal America."

 "A violent and goofy album. The ideal soundtrack for camping holidays, evenings at home alone, and giving late-night lifts to unknown hitchhikers."

Church of Misery’s Houses Of The Unholy is a brutal and raw stoner doom album that channels 70s heavy blues with a savage intensity. Thematically dark, it focuses on serial killers and evokes vivid, sometimes gruesome imagery. The music delivers an immediate, aggressive energy without the density or psychedelia of similar bands. It is praised for its fierce vocals and a playful yet violent attitude. Dive into the brutal world of Church of Misery and experience the raw power of Houses Of The Unholy today!
