"Revolting is dedicated to the absolute worship of late '80s death metal (Carnage,Impetigo) and horror/gore films from the 1980s. The band chose its name "to reflect the gross, nasty, gory, and insane horror films from the '80s such as 'Street Trash', 'The Blob', 'Redneck Zombies', and other mutant gross-out fests "

You will get no keyboards here.....No Clean vocals.....Just 31 minutes of disgusting,Old-School Death metal worship !

1. Wretch

2. Existence Without God

3. Project Sulphur Hate

4. Shackled

5. Parasite

6. Sirens for the Weak

7. Enigma of Human Deceit

Origin - Sweden
Style - Death/Black Metal

" Ghamorean is From Umea, Sweden. The band has been around for a while but they had only released 1 demo before this Debut in 2005"

" Their music is pretty vicious, evil and dark but yet dynamic and varied. People will probably think of endless blast-beats, shrieking vocals and tremolo guitars with poor variation when they hear or read death/black metal. But that's not the case here. Ghamorean is a band that has taken influences from the Norwegian black metal scene and mixed them with ingredients of modern death metal....To arrive at something really interesting "

" All the members deliver a splendid mix of pale vicious black metal and heavy hammer-slamming death metal. The vocals on this album sound like a raspy sort of Tompa like thing...Really good . The production is clear and you can hear everything separately. Many songs have great tempo transitions, like the track ''Shackled'' for example. The intro is incredibly intense, the tempo is lowered a bit but it is compensated by some impressive shredding and catchy drumming. And finally the tempo is lowered even more, and right after that the pace is turned up once again "

All in all a fine debut....And we will be hearing more from these guys ..As they have released a new one in late 2008...More on that one later...

6. 'Til Death Do Us Join

7. Sanctum

8. Skinless

9. Hidden Under Scars

Origin - Sweden

Style - Death Metal

" Seance's second album, 1993's Saltrubbed Eyes, would also be their last...Until reforming recently with the top notch 'Awakening Of The Gods' lp "

" A textbook 1990's death metal band from Sweden, Linköping's Seance most closely resemble early Entombed or Edge of Sanity with their sludgy death metal crush; their mid-level complexity and mid-paced brutality. Breaking down the music: they add a few symphonic accents to "Angelmeat (Part II)," bring nicely evil harmonies to close the title track, or the odd clean-picked melody lines to instrumental "Hidden Under Scars," that Seance achieve their most distinctive moments "

" Seance served like an incubator for later bands such as Witchery, The Haunted etc..Although I prefer Seance myself...Yeah Im Old !!....But Fuck it !

This is a lost treasure of an album from a day that is not forgotten !

Ahh....The Blessing of Death !

6. Shadow of Fear

7. Madness Reigns

8. Deadly Legacy

Origin - Sweden
Style - Thrash Metal

" Agony is one of the most overlooked bands in the history of thrash metal. The fact that they are Swedish makes things even better..."

" “The first defiance” is a masterpiece on pretty much all accounts. There are riffs-a-fucken-plenty that guarantee your head will be bangin and there’s some serious fuck en songwriting going on. These guys had it all figured out; they took the best parts of the Bay Area scene, molded it into their own concoction and ended up with a fantastic album "

" Coming from a punk background (and formerly being known as Agoni – the Swedish word for “agony”, of course), “The first defiance” left the punk influences behind and concentrated on the ABC of magnificent thrash fucking metal with all sorts of time changes and ripping solo's....But its the awesome riffs that set this one apart ! "

If this album had today's powerful productions...This would be a legend!......In my mind it is anyway !

If you claim to be a serious thrash fan and don't know these guys?.......Please up-grade your knowledge and find this at all costs......

Crank It Up !

Origin - USA

Style - Thrash Metal

" Philadelphia's Rumpelstiltskin Grinder are back with their second album of Speed/Thrash/ Metal "

" These guys play as fast as they freaking can without it getting death or grind. "Graveyard Vandalism" is ludicrously speedy, the riff at 2:41 in "Traitor's Blood" is almost too fast and every song contains about a novella's worth of lyrics. Some tunes, like "Brainwasher C. 1655" and "Fiends in the Mountain, Ghouls in the Valley" (honestly, I love these song titles), add a bit of German thrash melody amidst the double-bass barrage and oh-so-perfect riffing. The production is crisp, clear and complements the surprisingly solid instrumentation nicely "

" Look...If you are into metal that pokes fun at the genre and at the same time gives respect to the old-school.. Then this is for you!

For fans of: Testament, Exodus,Municipal Waste, Kreator, Toxic Holocaust and all fun... over the top Metal.....

Origin - USA

Style - Death Metal

" An often overlooked but nonetheless hugely influential component of the New York Death Metal scene, Morpheus Descends has been praised by bands such as Suffocation as originators of this technical, dark and sludgy groove oriented vein of death metal "

" The track's on this debut album show death metal in various tempos, oppressive melodies, deep growling vocals and crunching guitars with leads. Morpheus Descends plays in the good old tradition so you know what to expect and certainly expect no surprises. Keeping in mind that these are old recordings you know where the Ney York style bands get their inspiration from "

This is an underground classic........

Origin - Norway

Style - Blackened Death/Thrash Metal

" Formed in the summer of 2006 in Bergen, Norway, this group of talented musicians have members from legendary bands like ‘Old Funeral’, ‘Grimfist’, ‘Taake’ and ‘Borknagar’ to name a few. Their spirit and hunger is based on their passion for that old 80’s death/thrash metal feel "

" This album is a Thrash Metal kick in the teeth, a reflective burst of Tankards steely angst and Destructions lacerating vocal gurgle. The whole musical experience here is high octane; head banging retro thrash with a modern punch. Of the eleven numbers here you will discover a wide range of tempos and solid guitar arrangements. Stud Bronson’s vocals rasp away like a chainsaw and there are some tasty solo's also "

This is a must for fans of ‘Desaster’, ‘Destruction’, and early ‘Sodom’. It is a classic barrage of extreme dirty death/thrash metal from the 80’s but with a modern approach....So grab a beer and give these guys a listen for a thrashing good time !

9. Extinction

10. Abhorrent Copulation Machine

Origin - Finland

Style - Death Metal

" Slugathor's debut...originally on tape only(333) copies "

" Finland may never have been as prolific with bands as Sweden, but what they lack in quantity, they make up for with quality. I for one will take quality any day of the week. Finland has some truly classic bands... Demigod, Xysma, Abhorrence/Amorphis, Sentenced (the early stuff at least), Funebre, Demilich, and Adramelech. Well, you can add Slugathor to that list. Here is yet another band that has told the modern scene to fuck off and die in pain "

" Heavy as hell, brutal in a decidedly "non-American" way, and all-around crushing. Slugathor are one of the new rising stars in the underground. Chances are that you've never even heard about them, but you should seek them out. This is one of those bands that is buried deep in the underground, down where many "real" bands lie. They come from the same place that the gods of old came from, with the same kind of mindset and attitude towards metal. Slugathor are somewhere in the realm of Rottrevore and Incantation, impossibly combined with Demigod(Demo era) "

Awesome old-school stuff here folks !

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.....

6. Stargazing (Stargazer II)

7. Deprived Of Afterlife

8. Invocation

9. Cantara (Dead Can Dance cover)

Origin - Australia

Style - Death Metal

" Abramelin's self-titled debut album is a demonically heavy, crushingly brutal and breathtakingly technical metal record that wades waist deep in gore of a level so visceral as to leave virtually any other band of their kind reeling in disbelief "

" Musically, this is a masterful album. By 1995, goregrind was a genre that was already running out of ideas and it would have been easy for Abramelin, a band that formed as Acheron around the same time as Cannibal Corpse, to merely go with the flow. Fortunately this was a band comprised of some remarkable musicians with an obvious if sinister purpose. Guitarist Tim Aldridge is clearly the star here. The technical aspects of his riffing and the complexity of his arrangements are simply mind-blowing. His playing is sharp and brutally aggressive but still possessed of a very clever melodic sense, and his lead playing is stylish in a late-era Carcass fashion. If that's not all, he throws in a gloomy classical guitar piece slap bang in the middle of the gruelling corpse-fucking epic "Stargazer". Behind Aldridge is the faultless time-keeping of one of the country's best but mostly unsung metal drummers in Euan Heriot, a natural and fluid player who blasts without falling back on triggers and tricks. Topping it all off is Simon Dower, who delivers his lines in a bowel-quakingly guttural roar "

Abramelin is one of the greatest Death Metal bands from austrailia... And after allowing this album to mince your soul you will surely understand why....Essential listening !

" Havok's full length debut "

" This band is quickly becoming one of my favorite new-comers...After the terrific Ep 'Apathy Esplanade' 2008...Havok unleashes...What I would call Sophisticated Death Metal...What I mean is: Structures and tempo changes that arent your usual chugga...chugga riff patterns "

" This is in the Brutal Death Metal camp for sure but with some quite cool experimental atmospheric touches within the guitar work. Imagine some weird melodies and moody type of post rock elements packed between brutal blasts and freaky kinds of riffs. These are longer tracks than most..So I find that the more you listen the better it gets ! "

I hear fellow swede's Anata as a reference point..And Havok follows the same path of Highly artistic Creations......

This record does contain the songs from the ep..but with a better production !

Take a listen to one of the more adventurous and original sounding acts out there.
