South America never ceases to amaze with so many unexplored bands and releases coming out every day. Brazil is well known country in underground and extreme metal scene with bands like Sarcofago, Mystifier, Sepultura, Ratos De Porao immediately springing to mind. Headspawn are a trio from Brazil and this is their long awaited live e.p. containing four songs. Headspawn play that street metal, mixture of thrash and groove metal. While listening to the songs I can not avoid comparison to some Sepultura influences in some world ethno crossover parts of the song structures, also harsh thrash metal bands from the country´s rich metal history and glorious bands. Vocals are harsh but not death metal growling, rather more thrash shouting with more growl voice. But, they in a second turn into more powerful melodic clean vocals that create an atmosphere of melody in the midst of carnage. My personal favorites are Satan Goss with that thundering bass parts and switches from thrash to groove, also Worthless Piece Of Shit, a lesson in street metal. Check out this band, you will not be sorry.
The Italian death metal band, Hellucination, realesed the official video of the single “Iron Sky” from their last album “Multiverse” out via Time to Kill Records.
The video shows their concert at Traffic Live Club in Rome, Italy, they want to share the atmosphere of the Italian underground scene.
Denomination are from Germany and after one e.p., this is their first full length opus. This one contains 13 songs, two of them being intro and outro. After an ominous war fueled intro, the carnage starts. Denomination play old school death metal, leaning heavily on European school, mainly nineties old school Swedish death metal, not sounding like a clone, but bringing the style to new millennia. There are also blast beats, but I love how some songs also have that unmistakable d beat insignia and great strong growling vocals, coupled with razor sharp guitar riffs, but hiding behind all the brutality, there lays a melody, and that melody brings a melancholy to chaos, a pain to war if you want to put it that way. Songs like Bugs, Left hand of god, Cleansing flames are sure to win you over if you are a fan of such kind of death metal. This is a very strong debut album and a lesson in Euro death metal, how it should be done.
