Today’s review is very special to me since, almost to the day, two years ago I wrote my first review for El Gore and it was about the US band Adestria‘s debut album Chapters. Exactly one hundred reviews later, they just released their second full length album Gilded Hearts! Where should I start? Not much […]

Dreadnought – Vanitas
I usually don’t write reviews of singles, but I’ll make an exception in the case of the local melodic death metal powerhouse Dreadnought. Part of the incestuous trio of bands from the Bricherhaff, they recently released the two-track single Vanitas. As is tradition for these three bands, everything on here is self-recorded, self-produced and self-released. […]
Trash Monday CXV
I’m not claiming that I would do better (Uli Jon Roth can), but Mustaine clearly fucked this one up big time. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sHwxjkGQcU]
Teitanblood – Death
Greetings, El Gore readers! Last time I wrote for these guys I reviewed Eyehategod’s In the Name of Suffering. Well, perhaps it’s the aficionado of awful in me, but now I bring you yet another taste of a truly dark, evil, raw pool of vermin and filth. Namely, the latest piece of work from what […]
Not Scientists – Leave Stickers On Our Graves
Not Scientists is one of those bands that confirms my belief of going to smaller shows, even if you don’t know all, or even any at all, of the bands that are playing that night. I got the chance to see them perform a little intimate gig here in Luxembourg and I was so impressed […]
Trash Monday CXIV
Credit goes to Marc and Carole for digging out this little treasure. This one will be particularly amusing for our German and German-TV-and-media-consuming Luxembourgish readers. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP2jBCO2CPw]
Heaven’s Scum – It All Ends In Pain
The national music scene has been quite active these past few months, and yet another band from our country is about to release a record: It All Ends In Pain. That’s the title of Heaven’s Scum‘s debut album, which is a diverse mix of many different elements from the different metal genres. Combining several musical […]
Chiodos – Devil
Four years after the release of the good, but not great, Illuminaudio, Chiodos came back for their fourth record on April 1st. Between the aforementioned record and the new one, Devil, the band saw quite a few changes but the most noticeable ones were definitely the return of the original vocalist, Craig Owens, and the […]
Trash Monday CXIII
All obvious facts aside…what makes this video so great are the facial expressions of the guy with the bicycle horns whenever he squeezes one. Priceless. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcRyjkYdDxM]
Memphis May Fire – Unconditional
Despite only being around for five years, Memphis May Fire have just released their fourth full-length on March 25th which might evoke the question how such a tight schedule affects the quality…and the answer is simple: not at all. Some bands are simply full of inspiration and creativity. The Texan quintet is a prime example […]
