Back in 2008, guitarist Robert and drummer Kai just met, trough their mutual love for technical and catchy Death Metal and ofcourse making music down that line. The goal was to combine old school roots with influence of contemporary death metal bands.
And...Casket Music/ Copro Records catch-up, part five (for details, see David J Caron review posted a couple of weeks ago)!
Although Luke Fortini (actual name Luca) is presented to us here as an individual artist, he is not an unwritten entity within his country's musical community, from which he's even gone international playing guitar in Paul Di'Anno's band from 2002 to 2005 (playing many gigs allover Europe).
Holy smokes...you won't believe this, but I was quite incapable of finding any info what-so-ever about this Helsinki-based 5-headed Experimental Rock act, meaning that the only info I can give you comes straight from the short info sheet we got along with the download promo copy of the album.
Aha...Belgium, Heavy Metal and Thrash as elements which combine wonderfully well in the mind of our editor-in-chief...and I guess that's why he trusted the review of this West Flanders based quartet's debut full-length onto my relatively capable shoulders? Well, at least I always give things my best shot. So, let's start by checkin' out this band's history, shall we?
Germany’s Black Autumn were formed by M. Krall in 1995. The first years this solo-project did not release anything official, yet as from this century on, Black Autumn turned out to be a rather productive entity.
This Austin, Texas based band was started as an “unrelated” side-project by Averse Sefira members Jeff Tandy (bass & lead vocals from its formation until its demise) and Mark Perry (drums in that band since 2001) in 2008 in an effort to revive the Crossover Thrash Metal genre in a legitimate fashion, although Tandy at the same time also stated that Birth A.D. was never meant as a full-time act.

American combo Lucifer D. Larynx And The Satanic Grind Dogs Of Death (what’s in a name?...) perform Corpse Fucking Necro Metal. So, the most difficult part of this review has passed…
On the September 9th 2014’s Concreteweb-update we included the Pagan Assault-review for the Révolte Contre La Destinée-album. Pagan Assault is a solo-outfit by Frenchman KFD, the same guy who runs Soleil Blanc Productions, and the same guy behind Anthropophobe. The latter is a largely underestimated project that released a first album in 2012, which was called Le Royaume Des Morts (‘kingdom of the dead’).
