Album Reviews

DWEF has gone through many evolutionary changes in the past decade and it seems the band is at the edge of finding a new niche in the modern spectrum of the avant-garde black metal.

“Live in Berlin” clocks at almost 80 minutes, but believe me you won’t feel a single dull moment with Der Weg Einer Freiheit’s performance!

French brutal death metal ensemble Benighted bless us with their new EP Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master.

A melancholic Black Metal pearl and a must have for fans of Imperium Dekadenz, Helrunar, Endstille and Totalselfhatred!
