2. Final Demise
3. Summoning the Abyss Lord
4. Ritual Slaughter
5. Undead Creep

Origin - Italy
Style - Death Metal

" Italian Death Metal?.......Nahhh fuck that...This is from Sweden..Right?....You know...Sunlight sounding production...Killer Down tuned riffing and tortuous vocals....Sounding much like the classic bands..Entombed,Dismember etc....Released in small quantities on small kick ass labels "

" Sure enough (Palermo, Sicily) is where these Death destroyers hail from....And by the sounds coming from my speakers...Undead Creep are well versed in the ways of old. Its amazing how music of this type comes from all corners of the planet...With only one mission...Total Destruction on the senses ..and ears "

Undead Creep have already signed with Dark Blasphemies Records & Dark Descent Records for a full length later this year.....I highly suggest you go to Undead Creep's site and buy a Cdr or Tape...Shirt...Whatever else you can get your filthy hands on.....Get on board now!

Thanx to the band and kick ass labels for getting this stuff out there...Much Respect !

What are u waiting for?......Buy It!

Eroded - Eroded (2009)



1. Inceptive Point of Vengeance
2. Sunless Jubilation
3. The Harmful Order
4. Vertex On Siege Divine
5. Reduced To One
6. Symmetric Killing Synthesis
7. Arise Through Katalepsy
8. The Ultraidol Sycophants
9. Unbounded Soulless Scene

Origin - Italy
Style - Death Metal


" Eroded isn't exactly a new band, but you might not have heard about them yet. Their classic sound and dark Death metal could be defined as strongly influenced by the Scandinavian scene from the 90's; It takes both from the Swedish and Finnish styles, but doesn't count the aggression and HC/ Punk influences of the first while it's not as bizarre as the second....This is a compilation of both of their demos "

" If you just listened to this and knew nothing of the band..You would surely assume they are from Sweden....Crushing riffs come forth in the tried and true Swedish tradition...Buzzsaw style guitars,Deep Vocals,Powerfully obscure production. Musically: Think Nominon,Necrovation...With obvious nods to Grave,Entombed,Cemetary "


" The first four tracks are from the 'Test The Grace Infliction' demo (2007) and have a bit better production than the last 5 from the 'Banner of the Unrest Exile' Demo (2005)...These tracks sound muddier production wise...Bassier...But some may prefer this sound.....I like both "


2 Days...2 Devastating releases.......Fans of the old style.....You will not do much better than this record in 2009......Count on it !


No D-Beats?..........Ahh Whatever!

4. United In The Struggle
5. The Problem Is You
6. The Great Deceit
7. Still In The Trash
8. Alive But Dead
9. Worse Than The Silence
10. The Moshing Reel

Origin - Italy
Style - Thrash Metal

" 3rd full-length from these Italian moshoholics...Did I just say that?....Next thing you know I will be calling everyone Dog..."

" Now look: Here is another by the book...Thrash Revival band doing the EvilDead,Exodus,Testament...Partly Destruction thing.
Its produced by Andy Classen and sounds nice and snappy if not a little too produced. But to me this sounds like a new Exodus record...Its got some cool tracks and all the instruments are played well...The singer does a good job too...And the songs are catchy "

"Im just wondering if everyone will get tired of the same ol thing or what.....This record is solid in every way..Even down to the Repka artwork (Man it looks like a Evildead cover to me)....I guess in the end you will have to make that decision....


Me...I think its good.....By the numbers.....Thrash....
This version does not have the horrible choice of a cover tune by The Offspring?

Do you think the title is a spelling error?......Nah!

" Electrocution formed in 1990 in (Bologna, Emilia-Romagna) Italy....Later split up in 1996 after 3-Demo's,2-Ep's,1-split and this their only full length "

" Electrocution is one of many hardly known quality bands outside of their homeland...But anyone that did hear them knew this album was a lost gem !
The band's superlative songwriting skills shine in every track and keep you interested throughout the entire 37 minutes "

" More of a Death/Thrash album to me...Highly technical and strong song writing make this album fly by before you know it...Then press play again. A clear heavy production from the era makes for a great listening experience. One of Italy's finest bands....Its a shame these guys didnt make anymore tha they did.."

Gory Blister - Graveyard Of Angels (2009)

1. The Hatch Opens
2. Void Made Flesh
3. Vanishing Ruins
4. The Descent
5. Emit Despale
6. The Slum Of The Wretched Creatures
7. The Shining Hades
8. Graveyard Of Angels
9. Emit Despale (Remix)


Origin - Italy
Style - Death Metal


" This new record is the natural prosecution of Gory Blister project mixing old school aggression with the technical and progressive music into classic death metal. Moreover, from the initial comparison with masters Death, the band has acquired more and more personality, so that you will always experience originality both in riffs and lyrics....So says the record company "

" I think this 3rd record is solid...not groundbreaking death metal.....Technical?....Not that much. Some old-school leanings..That I wish they would have done more. Low-pitched and high screechy black metal vocals. A very good production coupled with some damn catchy riffs make this a good pick-up "

Go Ahead !......Buy It!

1. Misconception
2. Liturgy of Deceivers
3. Hideously Conceived
4. Drowned in the Abyss of Ignorance
5. Absence of Truth
6. Slavery in a Deaf Decay
7. The Holy Betrayal
8. From Hate to Suffering
9. Conjuration Sworn
10. Hierarchy of the Fools


Origin - Italy
Style - Brutal Death Metal


" Two words sum up Hour of Penance's third album perfectly: Fucking Relentless!

" This shit is not for pussy's here.....One would call this a proper blastfest..The drums are all over the place, doing their best to pummel you into submission, but are at all times backed up by a vigorous and creative guitarist throwing riffs, harmonies and solos around as if his life depends on it..And dont forget the vocals spewing forth at high speed and low pitch "

" When listening to Brootal stuff like this...It reminds me how boring such bands as Hate Eternal are...Just a bunch of technical stuff..No cohesion....H.O.P. brings it in spades and writes good songs also...Not for everyone...But if you need fast,faster,super fucking fast music about 36 min or so...Look no further ! "


Chaos All Around !......Get It!

4. Sophistic Demise
5. Requiem in SI Minore
6. At The Guillotine
7. Embodied Deception
8. Infection Of The White Throne
9. Retrieving My Carcass
10. Oracles


Origin - Italy
Style - Brutal Death Metal


" Fleshgod Apocalypse features members from bands like Hour Of Penance and Promaetheus Unbound. "Oracles", which is the band’s first full-length album is a high class technical album brimming with savage riffing and classical overtones"

" Amongst the furious neo-classical guitar work on par with bands such as Necrophagist are small interludes. These classical breaks in the album create a strange sense of anticipation for certain songs to kick in and start the brutal stuff all over again. Truly an inventive record in my opinion and one every Death Metal fan should at least check out...."

A Massacre !.......get It!

" Mediterranean death metal?......got me....but these italians kick some ass with their brand of pummeling,melodic death metal. Quite the catchy mix of brutal riffing with cool solos and vocals ranging from low growls to blackish shrieks"

" I am listening to this and thinking "this is better than 90% of all the bands out there right now". Do yourself a favor and check these guys out..they are deserving of your interest."

Novembre - Novembrine Waltz (2001)


1. Distances
2. Everasia
3. Come Pierrot
4. Child of the Twilight
5. Cloudbusting(kate bush cover)
6. Flower
7. Valentine
8. Venezia Dismal
9. Conservatory Resonance

Origin - Italy
Genre - Doom/Death Metal

"Novembre are a band that has made a solid impression upon both the death metal and atmospheric metal scenes with equally strong results"

"They have transitioned away from death metal in recent years but on this album they were showing a definite Opethian influence with some Katatonia(old) and Anathema influences as well"

"But what is really great about this album is the emotion. Each song is bursting with emotion, and yes, that is a good thing. But it isn't an "emo", kind of emotion. It's emotion while maintaining maturity. The lyrics are very poetic and make use of intriguing imagery. The guitars are yet another gorgeous element in Novembre's music. Novembre have the ability to be incredibly technical, yet express so much sorrow and yet combine acoustic guitars to make soothing parts.Carmelo's vocals are a great mixture of Deathly(akerfeldt)growls and a clean voice that fits quite well"

To me this is their best lp and fits perfectly with your Opeth albums......Kinda Opethlite if you will.

Disregard the kate bush cover....I never got it?..Didnt make sense on an album such as this.

"Brief slashes of melodic death metal ala Dark Tranquility and pace and structually sound songs ala The Haunted make
this an exercise in aggression and Hate"

The CD features guest vocals by: Tomas Lindberg (ex-AT THE GATES, THE GREATDECEIVER), Gianluca "GL" Perotti (ex-EXTREMA) and Claudio Ravinale (DISARMONIAMUNDI)
