Added tracklist to the post for those interested. Durvasag review coming up tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

The compilation is awesome dude! Thanks for putting Legionary on it

Blog update:

"Durvasag pretty much turned up the dial on everything on this promo. It's faster, it's tighter, it's barbaric."
What we have here is a return to form with Durvasag's EP promo from 2012. Blackened thrash with some major improvements from their earlier incarnations.

Still available is the 100th Review Anniversary compilation. 20 tracks, just short of 2 hours of hellish glory by some great bands. Still free!

Compilation: http://gouls-crypt.blogspot.dk/2013/06/100th-review-anniversary.html

Thanks for reviewing my Stranglion Rot album. For some reason I have always difficulties on commenting on Blogspot so I'll comment here.

You brought up good points. I've been practicing my drumming and I hope that I'll get better drum tracks for the next release. Also the production should then be a bit better for I have been practicing that too. I should probably do something about my vocals too.

I enjoyed your review a lot. Keep on reviewing stuff.

Cheers!

Well thanks for reading, cheers!

Blog update:

2/10 was all I could muster for this release, and I think I'm being nice. Dèigh's up.

"...what Serpenthia actually present on Beyond is a fairly diverse take on melodic black metal."
Finnish metal courtesy of Serpenthia. The EP's almost a year old, but it has aged well.

Anatomia's latest release, the Dead Bodies in the Morgue compilation, adequately presents the demo days of the band. Read that shit. Fan of Undergang and/or Coffins? Anatomia's a must.

Blog update:

Feel free to share, it helps out a lot!

Thanks for the review, can't wait to see what you have to say about the Master Fury disc. Also, let me know when you get the other promos.

Just got Black Chalice and Lamentations yesterday

The Forestfather promo should also be in there. Enjoy.

It is, no worries

Blog update:

Back in '88 and '89 Master Fury from New Jersey released a couple of pretty worthwhile thrash albums. Now these albums have returned from the grave to haunt us once more with gruesome riffing!

Written in Torment

Thanks for the review dude. Pretty spot on! On the muddiness of the albums, keep in mind, there are no existing masters for these releases. Hell Party was a direct rip from cassette (it's only release format until now) and Circles of Hate was also only put out on Cassette and Vinyl. Also, I notice you refer to the albums as "Gems" in the first paragraph yet culminate the review noting that they are not "gems" in the final paragraph. You may want to fix that for continuity. ^_-

Continuity is for wusses! Thanks for the heads up though.
About the production I guessed it was probably something like that, but especially Hell Party suffered a lot from the sound being a bit too gritty for my taste. Good stuff though!

It's cool dude, just specifying. Personally, I love that style of production for thrash... I can't stand pristine production on intended-to-be-dirty music. To each their own though. I bet you'll love the production on the Forestfather release though. That shit is about as excellent sounding as you can get.

I ended up changing the stuff you talked about slightly
But you're right, completely crystal clear sound has no place in thrash

Blog update:

Updated on time for once! Written in Torment's new album is out on Glorious North Productions now, and it's a pretty solid modern black metal effort - Read all about it in the link below!

I previously lauded Nordland's first album (entitled Nordland) for its ingenuity. See if Nordland's newest album, The True Cult of the Earth, is of equal value
