Phantom Corporation - Time and Tide

Phantom Corporation plays a raw mix of death metal, thrash, and punk, and Time and Tide makes that clear right away. This is an album built on aggression, speed, and energy rather than polish or finesse.

The record opens with “Frantic Disruption”, a brutal track that sets the tone instantly. It gives a clear vision of what kind of album this is going to be. The intensity stays high through the next few songs, with plenty of strong riffs, sharp guitar solos, and frequent blast beats. Everything feels tight and driven forward without losing momentum.

The vocals are aggressive and harsh, fitting the music perfectly. There is no overthinking here, just brute force. Musically, the album sits firmly in extreme death metal territory, but with clear thrash and punk influences pushing through. These elements give the album a raw and almost reckless feel that works in its favor.

“Krokodil” stands out mainly because it is in German and is much shorter than the other tracks. At under two minutes, it feels like a quick burst of violence before the album moves on again.

The title track “Time and Tide” is one of the highlights. The riffs are strong, the drumming is intense, and the rhythm guitars hit hard before the vocals come crashing in. The closing track, “Western Apocalypse”, running over five minutes, shows that the band is also capable of writing longer and more technical songs without losing intensity.

The production is solid throughout. The mix is clear and powerful, and everything sits well together.
Time and Tide is a strong and energetic thrash/death metal album with punk attitude, built on raw sound and straight-forward execution.


Rating : 8/10

 Zero Gravity - My Jeffrey Dahmer I recently received a very friendly request from the band Zero Gravity to review their latest single, and I was happy to give it a listen. From Innsbruck, Tyrol, Zero Gravity is a band that thrives on unpredictability. Formed by Dionys Dorner (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Berger (drums) in their teens, and joined by Christian Hubmann (bass, vocals), the trio has carved out a path defined by bold experimentation and a refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Their music blends punk, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge, and now gothic and metalcore elements, with a recurring “broken glam” aesthetic — raw, chaotic, yet undeniably engaging. Their latest single, “My Jeffrey Dahmer” , is a provocative, ironic take on love songs, using a shocking metaphor to explore romantic failure with absurdist and nihilist undertones. The track carries a bitter sense of humor, with chaotic shifts in tone and energy that mirror the tension of its lyrical themes. Dionys’s vocals, at t...

For Ruin - Painted in colours of War

 My review on For Ruin - Painted in the colours of War Release : January 29th , 2026 Origin      : Cork , Ireland  Label      : Sentinel Records  Rating     : At The End Painted in the colours of War Painted In The Colours Of War is an album defined by atmosphere. From the very start , the mood is dark, heavy, and emotionally. This is not a record that rushes to impress,instead, it builds patiently , layer by layer, allowing tension and weight to accumulate before it finally releases. And when it does, it hits HARD . Musically, the album sits firmly within melodic blackened death metal . The guitars balance heaviness and melody well, creating riffs that feel both aggressive and expressive rather than purely technical. The drums are powerful and well-placed, giving the music a strong sense of drive without overwhelming the rest of the instrumentation. Everything feels intentional and controlled, yet never sterile. One of the key...

Victim - Nuclear Nightmare

 My Review on Victim - Nuclear Nightmare Release : December 6th , 2025 Origin     : Weimar , Germany Label      : Independent Rating    : At The End A blast of old-school thrash, raw energy, and unfiltered aggression. Nuclear Nightmare opens deceptively calm , a slow, brooding intro that lingers just long enough for you to wonder where it’s going, and then it detonates. The moment the drums hit, you’re thrown straight back into the era when thrash was dangerous, uncompromising, and bursting with youthful aggression. It feels like having an entire rehearsal room hurled at your face , in the best possible way. From the very start, Victim prove why the underground has been buzzing. The band delivers a blend of classic thrash, raw crossover energy, and subtle hints of hard rock and grunge. At times you hear Slayer. Other moments? Metallica. And occasionally a flash of early Sodom. These guys aren’t hiding their influences , they’re weaponizing...
