Crunchy and smelly amalgam between death metal and punk for fans of Tribulation, Morbus Chron, or Obliteration. An excellent first album, topped off by a sensational artwork that honours these great songs. The Greek underground never disappoints!

Evil death metal absolutely inspired by the earliest instances of the style. Horripilant’s first EP really reminds of Possessed, Sadistic Intent, first Sepultura and Morbid Angel... These Valencians know very well what they are doing, moving between the 80s and early 90s, but not beyond. Good choice, dudes!!

“Melancholie der Engel” is like being thrown into an abyss of revelatory ascent, like being cruelly abandoned on a stage of immense universal solitude. Fuck yes, Shamael’s first album is like a long, feverish nightmare from which you cannot wake up. This fascinating one-man band invokes a devastating, and atmospheric, funeral doom on a par with the best names of the style.

The prolific duo exhibits a new identity while traversing death doom territories that will be very recognizable to any of their followers. On their seventh work, Graveyard Of Souls continue their philosophical journey between melodic and skillfully ornamented songs, being able to convey as much light as darkness to anyone who approaches their dilated sonic canvases. An old school album for old school fans, absolutely recommended if you love Paradise Lost, Tiamat, Crematory, or Alastis.

Excellent second album by the Irish band. They take elements form black, death, doom, and their traditional music to portray a wide variety of atmospheres and moods. Guttural growls are used in contrast with harmonious choral sections and ‘sean-nós’ vocals. Irish melodies and time signatures are incorporated with aggressive metallic and progressive elements. This distinctive approach to metal music coupled with lyrics sung entirely in Gaelige truly makes Corr Mhóna a one of a kind band.

“Dölmenn” is the second, heavyweight, and super brute album by Cabeza De Caballo. Heavy rock and stoner doom made by cavemen who occasionally get high and even blast-beat. Instead of instruments, they use bones. Dear paleontologists, the missing link of humanity is in Granada.

It’s a pity that Cuerno split up shortly after releasing this first album. With members of Lords Of Bukkake, Simón Del Desierto, Morbid Flesh, La Matanza, or Tort, the Barcelona band coat these songs here at a snail’s pace with a mantle of sadness and melancholy, sometimes in a more classical way and sometimes travelling to other planets in a joint-fueled astral trip. Doom and sludge that doesn’t try to choke you, with contemplative lapses, and with Michel in God mode on drums.

First and so far only album by the black metal band Eld. If all you want in your life is a return to the glory days of the great Norwegian wave, this album is for you. No nonsense: just the anti-Christian noise you crave.

Excellent and posthumous sixth album by Mistweaver. The melodic death of the band from Burgos is a filigree, and it is not surprising that this work garnered great reviews from the media. Melodeath can break asses and Mistweaver knew it well. Highly recommended.

From Colombia, Supremacía are only looking to amputate your genitals. Debut EP full of homicidal riffs, insane vocals and infernal miasmatic music. Slam, predators, no mercy. Their brutal death is as pure as their country’s cocaine. Really good, fellas!!

2006 was one of the most active years for the incomparable Machetazo and it shows on this live album, recorded at the mythical venue CBGB in New York, USA. 15 beastly tracks from the tremendous band from A Coruña together with Motörhead’s ‘Ace Of Spades’ and Venom’s ‘Black Metal’. Fucking explosive stuff! We miss them so much…

“A total of 31 crushing minutes of no-rest-total-blast old school grindcore without shitty modern triggers”. Tupatutupa Records dixit!! 2nd album edited on CD by Selfmadegod Records, amazing opus. Take no prisoners!!

Reverences, total respect for El Kaso Urkijo. Impossible to understand Spain’s noise and grindcore scene without them. Sixth album by the legendary Catalan band, which continues to faithfully portray human nonsense with another string of sonic bombshells that will rip your ears off.

Råtten is a tortured entity who writhes and self-harms in endless agony and countless cries of anguish. "Roi-de-Rats" is the first album of this French black metal trio, a torn debut with some doom and crust punk touches. Their album even brings some psychedelic and dissonant approaches that may remind us of Oranssi Pazuzu. This digipack CD is an invitation to voluntary confinement, an escape, a fast-track flight from any relationship with an exasperating humanity and a meaningless life. Raw French black for raw people.

An easy to do split, knowing a bit about the line-ups of these bands... But still, mutilating and absolutely essential songs. The bastard Akerbeltz, as he knowing perfectly well what material Körgull would release, gave his all in his tracks. Aaaaarrrghh!!! We love this fucking opus, folks!!

One of our favourite albums of all time. It’s as simple as that. War of the Voivodes is purely and simply what we ask of life. This unstoppable tank of iron, spikes, and steel is like a fucking storm that just tears through everything. Headbang until you pass out. Lilith Necrobitch is your undoing.

Coffins, Winter, Autopsy... And Coffins again! “A La Forca”, the first EP by the Catalonian band Bocc, will blow the minds of any fan of the most draggy, mangy and quarrelsome death doom. Wallow in this work like a fucking pig. Come on, motherfucker, mud up to your ears!
