Hexenaltar – Descending Curse (Gnashing Blackened Thrash)
Well, here’s another Polish force-to-be-reckoned-with to add to the ever-growing, chapter-by-chapter tome of awesome Polish metal bands (of any genre). A particular bite is growing ever-present in the national sound of Polish metal, and if worshipping an altar of dark magic is your calling, well, these elements come together quite well here. Hexenaltar I […]

Throat – Beyond the Devil’s Shroud (Possessed Occult Blackened Death Metal)
Yay, I remember these guys! And apparently part of the band is in Finland now or something, but who cares? If you’re into nihilistic, occult soul sacrifice, that’s the only thing that really matters. Last time I encountered Throat was over two years ago, and it’s great to see that they’re still depraved as […]

Cronos: The New Dawn (Soviet Christmas Post-Apocalyptic Monster Shooter)
I was excited when the details of this game were dropped by Polish dev masters Bloober Team, especially since the setting was Poland in the 1980s during the Soviet period, incorporating cultural scars into the landscape of a post-apocalyptic world where time travel is real, future humans are fucked up nonentities that probably don’t […]

Upon the Altar – Profanation’s Vapor (Battalious Blackened Death Metal)
I usually think I’m prepared to withstand any battering after all these years listening to stuff like this, but Poland’s Upon the Altar had other plans for my mind this week (and my body). In spite of a fairly short career, not including other projects they’ve all been involved in, this trio have been […]

Visteria – S/T (One-Woman Emasculating Violating Metalpünk)
Lol yep. I’m telling you I had a ton of awful promos these past two weeks, and only two stood out as worthy for any review, let alone a positive one. In this case we’re beyond positive to godly, so yay. Let’s consider here the debut mini-cassette from Poland’s Visteria. It’s a small package, […]

Königreichssaal – Psalmen ‘O’ Delirium (Irreligious Medieval Blackened Doom)
Poland keeps pressing creativity to the limits of metal, let me tell you, case in point Königreichssaal. I could start with a number of things, but let me begin with the fact that the bassist is in his sixties and possibly the father of one of the younger chaps within this unholy trio. Why […]

Throat – Blood Exaltation (Possessed Black Metal)
Can musicians, or rather a band itself, be…possessed? I feel like possession has become too trite in media, so maybe that’s not a good idea, but then again has it been done yet for bands in particular? I’ll assume not and say that Poland/Finland’s Throat is just such a band. At some point in […]

Martyrdoom – As Torment Prevails (Pneumoniac Death Doom)
For a name that sounds like a poor play on words at first, these guys can bring it. And talk about a comeback, phew! Having been absent from the scene for roughly six years, it’s almost as though they were reborn to reclaim the glory that was lost. I’ve heard some good death doom […]

Eternal Rot – Moribound (Zombified Grooving Death Doom)
Here’s a band that remains the same yet sounds…different? Explain this to me, boys. Having reviewed Eternal Rot’s last one, Putridarium, and seeing the same style of art by the same artist (Mark Riddick), I expected, naturally, more of the same. Zombified, grooving death and doom, that’s what I mean. Dripping. Slipping. Sticking? And […]

Wilczyca – Magija (Misanthropic Vengeful Black Metal)
Can the Poles do it any better? Yep, yet again. What else can I say about black metal that I haven’t already? What kind of criticisms, complaints, clichéd references? What’s the point? I think for once (actually trust me it’s not the first time), I’m going to just look at what we got for […]
