(9/10) This album would fit better into autumn and winter instead of spring that is re-vitalizing everything. Shining stands for black metal that is located somewhere between genius and insanity. Also the ninth record "IX - Everyone, everything, everywhere,...

(7/10) What a twist when it comes to Code. Being known as a black metal band from London, UK the band released with 'mut' an album that wasn't expected - at least not from my side. The black metal roots are more or less gone and the new sound is settled...

(7/10) Hate feels always a bit like the little brother of Behemoth. This has to do with the music and the image of both bands as well as with the having Poland as their homeland. But it wouldn't be totally fair towards Hate to only reduce them to this...

(7/10) The band states that the era of 'Black Forest Metal has begun'. I'm not really sure that this will become a new genre in metal history, but Finsterforst delivers at least some quite intersting music. But let's start from the beginning. The German...
