METAL BLADE RECORDS COMPILATION - Metal Hammer Magazine August 2008
I just picked up the new Metal Hammer. One of the CD’s with the mag is a Metal Blade Records spotlight comp. If you don’t know much about MB then fuck off. The longest running (over 25 years now) METAL label in the world is still going strong…

To most, this twenty minute fistfukk would be considered ‘anti-music’. To me its like a drug…
“Black Winter” is the second offering of creeping hellfire from the Nevada thrashers BLASPHEMOUS CREATION. Picking up in fine fashion where the debut “Rest in Pieces” left off, this is more heavily German influenced blackthrash with a slightly elevated black metal stance than before.
“Nobody wanted to listen when we said this was for real, sold our souls to horror and then sealed the deal. You laughed in our faces and really pissed us off. Now BLOOD FREAK is still killing while you die weak and soft…”
A few months go by, I create a FRIGHTMARE fan page on myspace. One day I get a request from TORTURE GARDEN, I check out the page and see they are a true underground label and are offering up a beautiful 12 inch vinyl version of “Midnight Murder Mania!” And it was only 9 dollars!
I’m sure those who purchased this album on it’s official release date are much like me. We just wanted the new fucking songs! Yeah, Ronnie is back with Sabbath for the time being for a tour and this collection of highlights (thats up for argument) from the four albums these chaps released together…
I’m sure most of you into Metal already know about the reunion of Sabbath with with the fucking godly Mr. Ronnie James Dio. They played a sold out show in NYC (Radio City Music Hall) a couple days ago…
“We regret that this had to be a mini-LP, but Andy was involved in an unfortunate accident and was unable to go into the studio with us to record additional tracks. Fortunately, he is making a full recovery and will be able to record a full length album for 1992. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the friends and family of Lisa Thompson who was not as fortunate and Andy. We should all recognize the frailty of life and fight to preserve it, not destroy it”

one by one become the victim of this whacked old koot who, during the kill scenes, wears various mannequin-like masks/wigs/outfits and adopts a fucking retarded voice while in “character” while all the figures around him in his museum come to life complete with animated gaping mouths and fucking beyond absurd “aaahhhh” voice effects.
BLOODFREAK
‘Live Fast, Die Young…and Leave a Flesh-Eating Corpse’
Razorback Records
- Review By Shane
Usually a review of an album does not start with a praise of the cover art but I’m going to do as such anyway. And I’ll give you three reasons why.
1. My Dad rebuilt hotrods when I was a kid, as a result [...]
MANITCORE
‘For Rats and Plague’
Deathgasm Records
- Review by Shane
Akron Ohio’s MANTICORE specialize in a dark art that is very common in underground Metal, a sound that blurs the line between Black and Death Metal, although they lean more to the latter as you will read. They are promoted in the bio sheet as black metal, [...]
FRIGHTMARE
‘Bringing Back the Bloodshed’
Razorback Records
By Shane of Last Judgement Zine
Alright, I’ve been into extreme Metal for a long time now. I’ve reviewed hundreds of albums and own thousands, mostly Metal. I realize I’m quite the pathetic nerd and I’m not bragging, I just love Metal. In the 1980’s it was all fresh and very unchartered [...]
UINTA ESSENTIA
‘Neutrality for Defined Chaos’
Deathgasm Records
By Shane of Last Judgement Zine
It’s been a long debate in Heavy Metal discussions over the years regarding guitar solos. I personally dig the more emotive, fluid, note holding/bending variety, but also have no problem with the short, bursting firestorm solos alot of death metal bands popularized in the 1990’s. [...]
APOCALYPTIC VISIONS
Doomsday Device
self-released
By Shane of Last Judgement Zine
In the bio that came with this disc one sentence ends with “the band themselves have spit that it (this album) is not for anyone”. The sentence following then humbly asks for a review of the disc. Why make the album then? I’ve read a lot of these [...]
