The Gathering is an interesting band. I was first introduced to them in the late 1990's. They were signed to Century Media records, a label that was fast becoming one of my favorites with its impressive roster of metal bands. Then there was The Gathering, a band that is decidedly not metal. Still, there they were, appearing on the labels low cost samplers called Identity, an annual series collecting...

As is often the case, I find myself at odds with the majority when it comes to rating Rotting Christ 's discography. While many seem to favor the raw, old school sounds of Thy Mighty Contract and the overrated bowel movement Non Serviam , I tend towards the middle of their career, in particular Triarchy of the Lost Lovers and this 1997 gem, A Dead Poem . Rotting Christ were trying something new here...

Varathron are one of the original occult black metal bands out of Greece, and stand as minor legends alongside their countrymen Necromantia and Rotting Christ . In the past decade, their output has been rather widespread, with a nine year gap between Walpurgisnacht and Crowsreign , and another half decade until this. Fortunately, there has been no impact on the quality of music the band is releasing:...

Absent Silence is a Dark/Black Metal from Finland with influences of Depressive Black Metal with some melodic elements. The band recorded three demos and one full-length album "Dawn Of A New Morning" which contains great material in the spirit of such bands as old Cradle Of Filth & Dimmu Borgir, ...and Oceans & Agathodaimon, Rotting Christ & Abyssic Hate. Just listen it and be...

Armaga is a Russian group; In the Ruins is their debut. Here is a band performing a brand of gothic/death/doom which was quite huge in the 90s but has largely been abandoned of late. They take very simple, crunching guitar rhythms and create atmosphere with haunted house-like keyboards. Oleg Sobolevskiy has a rasp akin to Sakis of Rotting Christ , and the band reminds me a little of Ceremony of Opposites...

Victoria: Experimenting and stylistically metamorphosing throughout different yet always obscure layers of elements from varying styles of heavier music has truly driven ROTTING CHRIST to achieve a very distinct sound.
