My World of Music – est. 2013
2021 marks 30 years since the formation of extreme metal pioneers, Emperor. Formed in 1991, their game-changing debut In The Nightside Eclipse (1995) set the template for symphonic, bombastic, melodic black metal, whilst their follow-up record, Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk (1997) became an instant hit. Emperor were a force to be reckoned with as underground, experimental and extreme forms... Continue Reading →
'Mutated Chaos', that almost sounds like a virus that is more than a disturbance of our daily life since a year. In this case, it's different. 'Mutated Chaos' is the title of a new EP, penned by Disembodiment. The quartet hail from the greater Montreal area in Canada and will release with 'Mutated Chaos' an... Continue Reading →
It's not that 2021 lacks good death metal releases, thinking about the newest The Crown album and the latest longplayer of UK death metal machine Memoriam. Here comes a next candidate for your shopping list, this time from the beautiful city of Hamburg. It feels like Endseeker being in business already since a long time... Continue Reading →
Sometimes information sheets provide a lot of information about band and album creation process. When it comes to Niht, the information is rather limited. What we know for sure is that ‘Arcanum’ is the second longplayer, forged by the German/Austrian band. A look on the tracklist shows that Niht doesn’t laser in on the colorful... Continue Reading →
'To the End' is the title of Memoriam's new album and we can all hope that it's just the title of this longplayer since this band is so good that we don't even want to think about an end. Memoriam started in 2016 when former Bolt Thrower frontman Karl Willetts and Benediction bassist Frank Healy... Continue Reading →
Six years after 'EyeHateGod', Mike Williams, Jimmy Bower, Gary Mader and Aaron Hill are back with a new album. 'A History of Nomadic Behavior' is the heading under which twelve new songs see the light of day. Well, to call it 'light' is perhaps not quite accurate, because what the quartet delivers is rather the... Continue Reading →
Mork has its beginning in 2004 and is the brainchild of Thomas Eriksen. It started as a side-project which also explains the relatively belated debut album. 'Isebakken' saw the light of day in 2013 and was a kind of a kickstart for more. More albums followed, of which 'Det Svart Juv' in 2019 was the... Continue Reading →
Baest's new album 'Necro Sapiens' is the first small disappointment in 2021. Impressing with the debut 'Danse Macabre' and 'Venemum', the new album is in nuances a further evolution, but also lacks the last punch. Baest stands for death metal that can be placed somewhere between Entombed and Bolt Thrower. That they also go to... Continue Reading →
Hamburg-based Endseeker used the concert-free months to work on the successor of 'The Harvest'. The new longplayer 'Mount Carcass' will hit the shelves on April 16th and the band comments: "We took all the frustration and despair over the cancelled shows and the whole misery Covid has brought upon us all and forged it into... Continue Reading →
'The Thule Grimoires' is the new album from Aachen's death/black metal outfit The Ruins Of Beverast. In tradition with the previous albums, five in total, the new longplayer is also not a burst of joyfulness but a gloomy delight. The dark adventure of The Ruins Of Beverast has its beginning in 2003 and after a... Continue Reading →
Death metal veterans Cannibal Corpse announce their next album ‘Violence Unimagined’ which will be available on April 16th, 2021. ‘Violence Unimagined’ features an eleven songs tracklist with a first single, 'Inhumane Harvest', that has been led off the leash. The video can be found HERE. "It really follows the path we've been going down for... Continue Reading →
Skelethal, that stands for brutal death metal since 2012. The guys, based in Lille (France) released a split and two EP's before they debuted with 'Of the Depths…' in 2017. Three years went by before Skelethal brought their furious sophomore album 'Uveiling the Threshold' to the record stores. At the end of November the time... Continue Reading →
Tour dates are something very unpredictable these days. Please always check the digital channels of local venues for possible changes along the way.
Leer in Germany is the homebase of Slaughterday, a band the premiered in 2013 with 'Nightmare Vortex'. Being deeply rooted in the Frisian metal scene, the band added a second album to the shelves in 2016, these days followed by the newest strike of Slaughterday. 'Ancient Death Triumph' is the third longplayer from Slaughterday and... Continue Reading →
An album in which I had great hope is the new album of Cadaver. Anders Odden, also known from Satyricon, started the band in 1988 and since then, Cadaver has been an on/off project. Three albums, that was essentially what Cadaver brought to the shelves. For a long time it was quiet around the band... Continue Reading →
