(6/10) I guess that YouDash from Poland are fans from Swedish extreme metal outfit Meshuggah, at least you could get this impression while listening to the band's debut "Astrophobia". The four-piece from Poland came into the picture in 2012 when the the...

(9/10) This album is epic and brutal. What became apparent on the debut is now gets proved again by Ultha's sophomore release "Converging Sins". What the guys from Cologne recorded for this longplayer is actually the opposite of a light-hearted Cologne...

(8/10) One of the debuts in 2016 that was very much anticipated was Bölzer’s first studio longplayer. So far the duo published two EP’s (“Aura” and “Soma”) which both included jaw-dropping riff power. HzR and KzR recorded in total nine songs for "Hero"...
