[Label] Witches Brew (Allemagne)

Out next week on Witches Brew:

SAURON "Satanic Assassins" CD

"The Lords Of Slaughter And Warfare" are at it again and their sophomore campaign demonstrates they mean business. Carried by a chainsaw bass that has been sorely missing in Metal since the glorious days of SLAUGHTER and VOIVOD (though ORDER FROM CHAOS did come close...) and driven by relentless drums, blistering guitar and roaring vocals this most basic of all possible band line-ups rips through the 7 songs of this album like a Demonic "Possession". If you like the dark, chaotic and haunting side of Thrash Metal you can not go wrong here.

AMOK "Downhill Without Brakes" CD
After a batch of home brewed demos these fun loving, hard thrashing lads from Glasgow "Murder City" have honed their brewing skills to perfection, offering this premium brand of Thrash Metal. With ingredients such as HEATHEN, FORBIDDEN, EXODUS and SACRED REICH, "Global Hangover" is certain. Will this advent the rise of "Clyde Bay Area Thrash" ? Time will tell. Released in February 2009.


DEATHHAMMER "Forever Ripping Fast" CD
Bending early SLAYER over a beer crate these Norwegian hellraisers of impurity are ripping it fast in their own twisted way. Brilliant Thrash Metal tracks like 'Total Thrash Assault' or 'Toxic Radiation' will have you whiplashed and thirsting for another keg of beer ! Includes their limited demos, "Savage Poser Hunt" and "Wrath Of The Antichrist" as bonus. Released in October 2008.


DEVIL LEE ROT "Hellscraper / A Little Devil Ain't Enough" CD
With music deeply rooted in occult NWOBHM sounds like WITCHFYNDE, CLOVEN HOOF or ANGEL WITCH and vocals like old VENOM or BATHORY, DEVIL LEE ROT deliver their own raw form of Blackend Heavy Metal. 'Hellmachine' and 'Root Of All Evil' are tasters for two albums on one CD. Released in August 2002.


DEVIL LEE ROT "Metal Dictator / Soldier From Hell" CD
Another excellent 2 on 1 release by the master of Blackend Heavy Metal still faithfully sticking to occult NWOBHM / VENOM roots. 'Oath To Metal' or 'Metal Dictator' would certainly be a great soundtrack for your next beer bash with the buddies ! Released in September 2003.


DEVIL LEE ROT "Metalizer" CD
The 3rd CD of these pure Metal maniacs around frontman Devil Lee Rot. New material like 'Pirates Of Hell' as well as re-recorded older but familier songs like 'In Hell Where Sinners Burn' which get a fuller, more explosive sound. If bands like RUNNING WILD, ANGEL WITCH and VENOM get your hair flying then you need this ! Released in August 2004.


GAMA BOMB "Survival Of The Fastest" CD
Debut full length from Northern Ireland's Speed Thrashers GAMA BOMB ! Expect songs showing influence from bands like AGENT STEEL, DRI, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, ANTHRAX and TANKARD. Get ready to Thrash your skulls to songs like 'Hell Trucker' or 'Steel Teeth (The Metal Jaw)' ! Released in April 2006.


HAMMERWHORE "Hammerwhore" CD
Songs like 'Victim Of Psycho-Toxin' or 'Outlet Of Lust' make the first album of this completely insane US Speed Thrash Metal band a real threat. HIRAX or NUCLEAR ASSAULT fans will absolutely love this. Released in October 2005.


HATEWORK "Madbent For Disaster" CD
Old school Thrash Metal from Italy in the vein of beeraholics TANKARD or BULLDOZER ! Hymns like 'Madbent For Disaster' or '(We Are) Alcoholic Abusers' are harbingers of total and utter delirium ! Released in November 2002.


IMMACULATE "Thrash, Kill 'N' Deströy" CD
Spawned from the unholy communion of early RAVEN and bands such as DARK ANGEL, HOLY TERROR and DEATH ANGEL these Swedish bastards just barely escaped the wrath of 'ThrashZilla' and were able to record one huge, raging beast of an album that will leave every listener 'Leveled To The Ground'. Released in March 2008.


MADGOYA "Put Olindrali Avlijanera" CD
Goya, the mythical Serbian dark lord of beer demands souls and these guys from the dank beer cellars of Novi Sad are eager to do their master's bidding. "Put Olindrali Avlijanera" features alcohol soaked Thrash somewhere between S.O.D. and old TANKARD and songs like 'Duha Je Ostavila Devojka ?!' or 'Prdnio U Fenjer !' will leave no throat dry and no neck unsnapped ! Includes their "Number Of The Beers" CDR from 2003, remastered, plus a video for 'Duha Je Ostavila Devojka'. Released in October 2008.


PYÖVELI "The New Renaissance Of Speed & Thrash Metal" CD
Maniacal, neckbreaking Finnish Thrash for fans of the old German sound ! Demonically possessed vocals tear through filthy fast riffs and razor sharp solos ! If you can't keep up with the massive Pyöveli Attack then you will be hunted down and massacred by the poser destroying Predator ! Includes previously unreleased new song. Released in April 2007.


REDIMONI "The Onset Of Chaos" MCD
Mini album of great Thrash Metal from Spain with the most insane vocals I..ve heard in a long time ! They combine the old, raw Teutonic sound and the classic, thrashy US style with some hellish Rock N Roll and plenty of mid tempo, headbang-inducing riffs ! Listen to Set Fire To Their Lands and Thraaaaaash ! Released in December 2005.


REDIMONI "Into The Coiling Arms Of Mayhem" CD
The Spanish 'Nail Maniacs' are back with yet another orgy of Hellish Thrash and infernal vocals. The gnawing hunger caused by "The Onset Of Chaos" MCD in 2005 can finally be satisfied as REDIMONI now serve a full platter of hymns of insanity. The 'Wrath Wars' have been declared. There will be no quarter. You have been warned. Released in April 2008.


SALUTE "The Underground" CD
From the dark damp cellars of Bristol, so deep in "The Underground" that the graffiti on the dungeon walls is still in Latin, these disciples of "Dr. Faust" stir a vile brew of HELLBASTARD, CELTIC FROST and AXEGRINDER. Seasoned with a healthy dose of MOTÖRHEAD warts, their alcohol fueled brewtality should convince every follower of Thrash and Crust alike. Released in February 2009.


SAURON "Satanic Assassins" CD
"The Lords Of Slaughter And Warfare" are at it again and their sophmore campaign demonstrates they mean business. Carried by a chainsaw bass that has been sorely missing in Metal since the glorious days of SLAUGHTER and VOIVOD (though ORDER FROM CHAOS did come close...) and driven by relentless drums, blistering guitar and roaring vocals this most basic of all possible band line-ups rips through the 7 songs of this album like a Demonic "Possession". If you like the dark, chaotic and haunting side of Thrash Metal you can not go wrong here. Released in December 2008.


SCYTHE "On My Way Home" CD
The first album of this German band offers songs like 'Creation Of Wrath' or 'On My Way Home' that blend oldschool Death Metal brutality with brilliant melodic atmosphere akin to late CORONER or ANACRUSIS. Released in June 2002.


SCYTHE "Poetry Of Illusions" CD
SCYTHE's 2nd album sees a continuation of the fantastic mix of melody and brutality as heard in songs like 'Late Summer' or 'Castaway'. And as bonus you get a video of the title track of their first album "On My Way Home". Released in August 2003.


SCYTHE "The Process Of Rotting" CD
Songs like 'Disinclination' or 'Sabotage Of My Youth' were mostly taken from SCYTHEs two demos and were rerecorded to celebrate the 10th anniversary with this special album. Expect heavy yet melodic Death Metal. First 100 copies come with a SCYTHE sew on logo patch. Released in August 2004.


SCYTHE "Decay" CD
Getting pounded by the heavy oldschool Death Metal of 'Bitterness' or floating away on an atmospheric composition like 'Pretending Not To See', the new SCYTHE masterpiece offers the perfect mixture between both extremes. Add to that some oriental seasonings for a well rounded and varied 4th album somewhere between UNLEASHED and 90s VOIVOD. Released in October 2006.


THARGOS "Killfukk" CD
Hectic and insane Blackend Thrash Metal that pretty much defies labeling. 'Godz Of Black Metal' or 'Natural Selection' are deeply rooted in ancient German traditions (SODOM, DESTRUCTION) but THARGOS added many an exotic spice to their musical brew. Released in March 2003.


THE CHASM "Conjuration Of The Spectral Empire" CD
Gigantic Mexican Death Metal with many references to aztec mythology. Songs like 'Dark Cloud' or 'Reveal The Truth' seek to widen the boundaries of Death Metal and succeed. Released in November 2002.


VEXED "Nightmare Holocaust" CD
Manic, wild and high energy Italian Thrash Metal played with heart. Much in the vein of bands like classic KREATOR, BLOODFEAST, DESTRUCTION or NECRODEATH. 'Nightmare Holocaust' or 'Death Justice' could have been recorded in 1985 ! Released in July 2003.


VEXED "Destruction Warfare" CD
This newest album features more excellent Blackend Thrash Metal with destructive, bang inducing riffing, maniacal vocals and improved production as can clearly be heard in 'Nuclear Babylon' or 'Warblast'. Released in December 2004.
