Occult Crypt – Nebelwerfer
Grab your old SS uniforms, smack down those infantry helmets and slip into your paratrooper boots. Oh yeah, and don't forget your fucking Nebelwerfer! I've listened to tons of NSBM recently and to be totally honest 99% of it has been shite. Focusing on hate propaganda under the guise of extremely dire music it has offered me nothing. Until now....

Ravenfrost – Ein Streifzug Am Abgrund Der Seele
Imagine another holocaust! One in which the Jews are not the quarry but one where the exterminees are German Black Metal bands.

As suggested by the title of their debut demo Nachzehrer tout themselves as Black Thrash. I wouldn’t normally review such a release, not because I dislike the style but because it falls outside the purpose of this site. Anyway, this American five-piece skimp so much on the Thrash part that, aside from a few riffs, [...]- More From the Depths... »
