2nd album by One Step Beyond. They describe themselves as a fusion of Napalm Death and Primus, which wouldn't be far off. Death metal is merely the foundation for their approach, which incorporates everything from grindcore, funk, industrial through to reggae. Bass is pervasive throughout the album. An original album that deserves to be heard by everyone with an interest in the offbeat.

2nd album by Mediocracy. They managed to bring to the surface a breathing, alive and colourful album. They combine perfectly sludge, hardcore and, in times, thrash, only for our listening pleasure. Groovy riffs, distorted basses, pounding drums and bloody screams.

Krisiun - The Great Execution


Genre: Death
Country: Brazil
Year: 2011


1. The Will To Potency
2. Blood Of Lions
3. The Great Execution
4. Descending Abomination
5. The Extremist
6. The Sword Of Orion
7. Violentia Gladiatore
8. Rise And Confront
9. Extinção Em Massa
10. Shadows Of Betrayal




8th album by Krisiun. The band only used analog gear and instruments in an attempt to create a more organic sounding record. The majority of the songs contain extreme tempo variations, fairly clean guitar work and distinct patterns. They are not the typical Krisiun tracks, however they don’t stray far enough away to an unrecognizability. Great guest appearance in my favorite song (track 9) by Gordo (Ratos De Porao).

Country: Chile
Year: 2011

1. Order From Chaos
2. Resistance Is futile
3. The Ghost We Summoned
4. Akelarre
5. State Of Siege
6. Tyrannicide
7. Feel The Void
8. The Power Of Dog
9. Vows Of Silence
10. La Santa Muerte





7th album by Criminal. This is a great example of death derived thrash/groove metal, catchy riffs, growling vocals from a mature band who're here for the long haul. The cool thing about Criminal is the fact that they mix their fast thrashy beatdowns with actual double-bass heavy breakdowns, catchy rhythms and greatly inspired solos.

6. Misery
7. Unburden
8. Smooth Beige
9. Inside Out






This 'Ep by Fuck The Facts, contains songs, according to them, that didn't fit in their 'Die Miserable' album. This self-released work takes a completely different approach to recording and songwriting. The production is much rawer and the songs are shorter, focused blasts of hot aggression.
