My World of Music – est. 2013
Fatal Feast Vol. 1 will take place on November 23rd, 2023 at KIR in Hamburg. Focus is on local thrash metal and the line-up features three bands: Extinct, Fatal Collapse and Toxic Hazard. So, time for a sweaty and beer-soaked metal party.
It was in 1983, in the south of Germany, when a band was formed that went out to promote a new and harder kind of music. We are talking about Destruction. Schmier and his band mates impressed the metal community with first albums like 'Infernal Overkill' and 'Eternal Devastation'. Then, the band's breakthrough came with... Continue Reading →
Eternal Evil hail from Stockholm, Sweden and belong to the youngest generation of thrash metal bands that have found their inspiration in the heyday of the genre. Bands like Slayer and Exodus are without a doubt the role models of the four-piece. With 'The Warriors Awakening … Brings the Unholy Slaughter!' the Swedes have released... Continue Reading →
Go Ahead And Die is a kind of family business; better said another father and son project. Max Cavalera and his son Igor are the driving force of this project which also includes Johnny Valles (d). The latter replaces Zach Coleman and delivers his debut on 'Unhealthy Mechanisms'. Go Ahead And Die released a first... Continue Reading →
Somehow I always have the feeling of a relatively young band when it comes to Angelus Apatrida. Well, at least as far as the time span in which the foursome is active is concerned, it should be said that the band has been of age for quite some time. Formed in 2000, it is now... Continue Reading →
Balingen in Germany is known for the Bang Your Head festival which unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore. Now it is up to Traitor, hailing from there, to keep metal alive in Germany’s southwest. After having released four studio albums the band launch a new live album. It is already the second live release of the Teutonic... Continue Reading →
Well, there are so many bands that you can never have them all on your radar. One of those bands for me is Exmortus from Whittier, California. However, these guys are anything but a new band. The group has already released five albums and with 'Necrophony' they are about to launch a new album. 'Necrophony'... Continue Reading →
Metalheads, looking for something special, that might be the target group for a band like Shepherds Reign. The Polynesian metal outfit is hailing from South Auckland, New Zealand and what the guys deliver on their ‘Ala Mai’ album has a wow-effect. In a way I feel reminded to Sepultura during the ‘Roots’-days. This comparison doesn’t... Continue Reading →
Thrash metal will be the main theme at Logo on November 14th, 2023. With Death Angel and Sacred reich, two veteran thrash metal bands will pay at the legendary club in Hamburg and headbanging is mandatory that day.

Cruel Force, this moniker might ring a bell with some of you. The band isn’t a newcomer. It is rather the opposite considering a founding date in 2008. The debut album ‘The Rise of Satanic Might’ was unchained two years later and a sophomore album followed in 2011. These two records echoed well in the... Continue Reading →
A year after having released the split-EP, Sepultura premiered with ‘Morbid Visions’. At the time, Sepultura was young and hungry. Inspired by bands like Venom and Celtic frost, the Brazilians started to record songs that were raw and loaded with the energy of the youth, that finally found an outlet. As with the re-recorded ‘Bestial... Continue Reading →
It was back in 1985 when a Brazilian metal band appeared on the scene with an EP called ‘Bestial Devastation’. The band we talk about is Sepultura who released with split album with another band called Overdose. It was the primitive aggressiveness of these Sepultura songs that created some first attention which found a continuation... Continue Reading →
Evile, hailing from the UK, started in 2004 after having been around for five years as Metal Militia. After having unleashed the debut album ‘Enter the Grave’ back in 2007, the four-piece band managed to establish themselves as a young and hungry metal outfit with great songs. 2023 faces the next Evile longplayer and it...

Vendetta from Schweinfurt, Germany belongs to the veterans of German metal. Having released with ‘Go and Live … Stay and Die’ and ‘Brain Damage’ two acclaimed longplayers in the 80s the band decided to part ways in 1990. After years of absence Vendetta returned in 2002 and released with ‘Hate’ a new longplayer. Having found... Continue Reading →
