Calm Hatchery - Sacrilege of Humanity (2010)


1. Rattlesnake's Dream
2. Sea of Truth
3. Messerschmitt
4. We Are the Universe
5. Mirror Giants
6. Hymn of the Forgotten
7. Them
8. Lost in the Sands
9. Those Who Were 
10. Shine for the Chosen One
11. The Blood of Stalingrad

Origin - Poland
Style - Death Metal

" 4 years after their debut...The very underrated "El Alamein" comes Calm Hatchery's sophomore release..... Another Killer album !  "

" These Butcher's from (Slupsk/Wejherowo/Bytów) don't profess to be old school or new school or deathcore or any other fucken thing....Just Death Metal played in a melodic,Technical,Crushing fashion bringing to mind Decapitation,Morbid Angel but doing it in a fresh and exciting way. This record exudes sinister riffs and awesome technical solo's done with great thought and no filler....These guys know how to write songs !.....From the opening of 'Sea Of Truth' C.H. display bruising but catchy riffs and deep vocals that fit in perfectly. I always think that the difference between good and great records is in the little nuances..And this LP has them in spades...From the backing vocal shouts to the Middle Eastern influenced solo's to the short but to the point tracks "

" Sitting in my office this morning and here comes 'Lost In The Sands' cranking from my speakers(And drowning out the fucken phones !) with its head banging crushing riffs and classical inspired solo..Simply Awesome !.....Now I was a huge fan of this band when they formed and really dug their debut...But these five have turned it up a few notches with this release and I for one think it is one of the best of 2010 "

" Maybe I just needed some Polish Death Metal to get me going?.....As there has been a slight lapse lately...But this really hits the spot and makes me a bigger fan of the Death Metal - Polish Style....If you dig Jackhammer drums,Sepentine Lead guitars,Sinister Riffing and Deathly vocals this will put a dent in your head today....I mean- Watch out for the corner of the desk !....Those bastards are sharp "

Overall, balance is the key to “Sacrilege of Humanity.” By creating a fine blend of technical, brutal, and darkly melodic elements, Calm Hatchery finds the perfect middle ground between older and new styles of Death Metal. “Sacrilege of Humanity” is about as good as death metal comes nowadays. Or even twenty years ago, for that matter.......Word !

Happy Holidays People !.....

4. War Machine
5. The Slime
6. The Truth Murder
7. Tabula Rasa
8. Portrait Of The Lies
9. Destruction Of The Demented World

Origin - Poland
Style - Death Metal


" Album # 7 from Poland's most underrated Death Metal act "

" Trauma has always been one of my favorite polish band's...Putting out such classic's as "Imperfect Like A God' & 'Determination"....Their brand of clinical razor sharp Death Metal never ceases to amaze me...On 'Archetype' things are no different "

" With the tight hyper-blasted drumming, the dense growling vocals and the powerful production from Hertz studios...You cant help but get drawn in to the mayhem contained here. You will not be subjected to any orchestral noodling, and not even one second of clean vocals. The tracks contained are tight,concise,power packed little packages with plenty of crushing riffery and heavy structure. This is a solid enjoyable album, and if you love Death Metal, then this will satisfy your appetite for it very well indeed " 

Recommended for fans of Technical Straight forward Death Metal !

1. Devilized
2. Rise Of The Undead
3. Never Say My Name
4. Blast
5. The Seal
6. Dark Heart
7. Impure
8. Summoning The Futura
9. Anger
10. We Are Horde
11. When The Sun Drowns In Dark
12. Black Metal (Venom Cover)
13. Fight Fire With Fire (Metallica Cover)

Origin - Poland
Style - Death Metal

" One of the longest running and most consistent Death Metal acts around, Poland's Vader formed in 1986 and can now look back on a wealthy share of studio albums and countless tours throughout the whole world - some even call them the hardest touring band in the Death Metal scene!....Now we get the release of their latest 'Necropolis' "

" Main man and vocalist / guitarist Peter is back with a completely renewed Vader line up (including Vogg from Decapitated) and a true monster of an album entitled "Necropolis"! This devilish masterpiece embraces all of the Vader trademarks fans have grown to love over the years: mid tempo neck breaker riff madness ('Devilizer', 'When the sun drowns in darkness'), sheer blast beating fury ('Rise of the undead'), sombre and eerie incantations and intros ('The seal', 'Summoning the futura')...it's all here! Rounding off this inferno are two highly classic cover versions ('Black Metal' by Venom and 'Fight fire with fire' by Metallica), showing the roots and reverence of Vader "

" Nothing on this album overstays its welcome, including the record itself. Clocking in at about 33 minutes long, Necropolis shows up, kicks your ass and then is done before you have time to get bored or sick of it. Every riff is timed to stay just as long as it needs to. And the production by Tue Madsen is stellar...Not sounding too processed but definitely powerful and clear "

" It must be stated that Vogg did not do any of the guitars for this record...Which if anything lacks here it is the solo's....But live they should be crushing. "

This is a very good record that is just the right length....And has shitloads of great riffery !.....Not to be missed !


Dark Vader !..........Returns!

4. Cross of Stone
5. Extreme Reality
6. Flag of Shadow Master
7. Morbid Game
8. Anthem of Vengeance
9. The Day After
10. Fight for Your World

Origin - Poland
Style - Death Metal

" One of the earliest Polish death metal bands, and one of the few that doesn't owe its sound directly to Vader in one way or another. Ghost formed in 1988 and has managed to put out 3 demos and this..Their only Full-Length "

" What we have is a solid slab of European death metal that can most directly be compared to Iniquity's classic 'Serenadium', with thick, abrasive, and often sludgy riffs, and vocals reminiscent of Grave's Jörgen Sandstrom. More surprisingly, this album actually has stellar production - especially for something so obscure "

Yet another obscure Death Metal album you need to hear...But probably haven't...

" One of Poland's under-rated bands here.....This is Armagedon's debut "

" Musically you have a Heavy Death Metal sound in the vein of other more popular Polish band's such as Vader,Trauma etc. "

" This album is criminally over-looked..Probably because it was supposed to be released on cd by Peaceville Records..But actually was only released on Cassette only...So not heard by many fans outside of poland. Skip to 2009 and Armagedon will release a new LP this year...Hopefully soon...I look forward to hearing it "

In the meanwhile...Pick this up and enjoy some Rare stuff from a country that has brought the world many great Death Metal acts !

Devilyn - XI (2005)


1. The Counting of Quartered Heavens
2. The Enemy Within
3. Faith
4. The List
5. Degrade Flower
6. God Eater
7. Charming Maidens With No Skin
8. The Seven Virtues of Divine
9. Searching For The Beauty


Origin - Poland
Style - Death Metal

" Devilyn's 4th full-length, “XI”, is ultimately the band's best! "

" From the bands beginning years (about 10 years past), the technicality alongside the brutality keeps getting more vicious and precise. To those of you a little unfamiliar with Poland's Devilyn, they are kind of similar to Vader and Decapitated with more technical riffs! “XI”, or just “11”, consists of 9 tracks (8, without the 45 second intro) and is a very short 25 minutes playing time. Have the numbers confused you yet? Nevertheless, Devilyn boast of thunderous bass riffs, shredding rhythmic & technical lead guitars, absolutely brutal & precise pounding on the drums and Lord Worm-like vokills. “XI” is both diverse and uncompromisingly aggressive "


Fans of Decapitated, Vader and other well-produced, blasting death metal with a sense of brutal groove will likely dig this album.....

5. Walk The Line
6. Daniel The Jack
7. M.A.D. (Make A Donation)
8. Don't Get Left Behind
9. It's Time


Origin - Poland
Style - Thrash Metal


" 4th full length from Krakow, Polands Virgin Snatch "

" Virgin Snatch contains members of other prominent bands such as Vader, Sceptic, Dies Irae & Anal Stench so the metallic pedigree is certainly there for this band to be great....But Are they?......A resounding Hell yes....These guys play a brand of heavy thrash with dual vocals...Some may be put off by the clean vocals , but they have really improved over 2006s 'In The Name Of Blood' and the deeper snarling vocals fit well "

" The sound is big and powerful, crunchy guitars,blazing double bass drums,and melodic solo's from Jacek Hiro (Sceptic).....This guy rips with the best !...."

If you are a fan of Modern melodic, and technical thrash metal, I recommend you check out this album. You will not be disappointed....

" Brilliant 3rd album of Death Metal that benefits greatly from flawless production and technically adept musicanship. Brutal, but complex song structures. One of the oldest and greatest Death Metal bands Poland has ever known "


" Severely under-rated....but easily in the same league as Vader,Decapitated etc."


" Fast and really aggressive Death Metal, allways on the highest technical level is what you can hear on Suffocated In Slumber "


This band deserves wider recognition !

5. Branded
6. The Tide
7. Headhunters
8. Light The Fuse

10. Killers Breeding
11. Evil (Bonus Track - Mercyful Fate cover)


Origin - Poland
Style - Thrash Metal


" This is Horrorscopes 4th album already...and I have not posted any yet..so here we go!

" The music they play is no-bullshit straight-ahead thrash metal. Since their foundation by former Disonance member Lech Śmiechowicz in 1996, the band has gone through numerous lineup changes but the two participants most responsible for their sound - Śmiechowicz and vocalist Adam Bryłka - have stuck together, churning out brutal midtempo riff after whiplash-inducing riff, occasionally experimenting stylistically a bit here and there but never straying too far from their core of pummeling modern thrash"

" Production on EVOKING DEMONS, like that on its 2005 predecessor THE CRUSHING DESIGN, is exceptionally clear and heavy, a perfect vehicle for their 44-minute rhythmic assault. The first and most obvious comparison, if you're looking for a point of reference, is THE GATHERING-era Testament. In fact, Bryłka sounds very much like a Polish version of Chuck Billy in terms of aggressive roars, near-deathgrowls, and clean-vocal passages...often-times all in the same song. Guitar leads are fret-burning shred attacks and the drumming is tight and rife with some great fills and rolls"


This stuff is for the thrasaholic....screams bay-area thrash...my favorite kind!

Myopia - Enter Insect Masterplan (2007)



1. Planet Groth
2. The Colony
3. Factor X
4. Project Insect
5. Clones...........
6. Masterplan
7. Planet Earth
8. Forgotten race
Origin - Poland
Genre - Technical Thrash Metal



" Having seen the classic Canadian band Voivod many times...I wondered if there would ever be a band that had that same vibe,technique...out there approach "

" Low and behold.. Myopia has got what Im looking for....The major influence is obviously Voivod, although I would say that Myopia's music is more technical and overtly progressive than anything Voivod ever did. Occasionally a bit of Meshuggah's stoccatto-style riffing also appears. They inject a lot of challenging and obscure chords into their riffs. There are probably a lot of other progressive influences in there that I can't quite pinpoint. This record has nothing to do with the typical Death Metal scene in poland...instead a very challenging listen that will take you a few listens to get into......But it is worth it !!

Fans of Voivod and obscure progressive metal...Try this !

" Brand New 5th album "

" Burned Ground Strategy is the fifth full length for these polish technical masters. To me this record sounds heavier than their last death metal album " Inheritance". You also have dual vocals now...Growls and clean voice, Some acoustic interludes....Of course a massive production and some heavy riffing. "

" This has taken me a few listens to get into...but is getting better everytime.
Not groundbreaking.....but extremely professional and well played "

" 2nd album from these polish blaster's!...This record see's them expand on their sound from the Debut (Scream of the Mourning Star). This record is focused and cohesive. The keyboards take a higher seat in the mix - a bold and very effective feat. Yet Lost Soul remain brutal and blast beats rule this record all the way through. Vocals sound a bit like nergal of Behemoth. Its the machine gun drumming and the heavy guitars that carry this Lp. The guitars consist of 100mph riffage and short to the point solos...With a touch of melody thrown in also. The Drumming is nothing short of amazing!...Technical,fast,and in time with the guitars"
