The German band Vomiting Corpses was active in between 1988 and 1995. In that period, they released two demo tapes (The Call and Cold Blood), followed by a full length LP in 1995, called Coma: The Spheres Of Innocence. It was released via Invasion Records, a German sub-division of Sweden’s Black Diamond Productions (both of them are defunct in mean time). Then they split up, and some members went on to form Anasarca.
Line Up :
Jani Kataja – Vocals
David Blomqvist – Guitars
Tobias Christiansson – Bass
Fred Estby – Drums
I have been having an affair with Scandinavian rock for a number of years now, so I was quick to stick my hand up to review the debut self-titled album by Swedish band ‘The Dagger.’ There is a hell of a lot of bands at the moment that are mining that ‘classic’ metal sound from the seventies and early eighties, ‘The Dagger’ prove that it’s not a bad thing.
Stryper an oldschool Christian Heavy Metal / Hard Rock band founded in Orange County, California in 1983. Stryper stands for "Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace, Encouragement and Righteousness". The Isaiah 53:5 under their logo is the Bible verse that states "by His stripes we are healed." Current members are: Michael Sweet: Lead vocals, guitar - Oz Fox: Vocals, guitars - Tim Gaines: Bass, vocals - Robert Sweet: drums.
Rebellious Spirit a very young metal band founded in the southern Germany. Never heard about them but I think not the last time. Current members are Jannik Fischer (vocals, guitars), his brother Jens (bass), Silvio Bizer (drums) and Corvin Domhardt (guitar).
Onkel Tom is a German group founded by “Onkel Tom Angelripper” playing metal versions of schlagers, drinking songs and Christmas carols. Maybe you recognize Tom Angelripper from Sodom. Yes this is his solo project alive and kicking.
Lucifer’s Fall are the brainchild of Rote Mare’s founding member Phil ‘Deceiver’ Howlett, who started this project in 2013. After a demonstrational recording and a one-track EP, it was time to record the debut full length, which distribution will be done via Australian Doom-label Rotedoom Records.
Hard Tension…Another band that wants to keep a low profile. There isn’t much to find out about these Portuguese chaps as the only things you will find are a few interviews and an empty facebook info page.

Ukraine-based act Twilighfall was formed in 2010 by Wortherax. You surely have heard his name before, for he’s a permanent or session member for notorious bands and projects like Nokturnal Mortum, Vetche, Piorun, Munruthel or (defunct) Supuration, amongst others.
You know, it's amazing how, even in a small country like our own little Belgium, some albums can be laying around in stores for quite a while, before the media pick up on it. This very record came to our editor-in-chief through the help of a friend, whom felt the need to help out the artist somewhat. Well, let's look at what's in store here, shall we?
