Review: Deadly Force – From This Hell (Stormspell 2014 CD)
Stormspell Records did not only just
release the new Hypertension-album on CD, as usual they've got a lot
of interesting stuff coming out at once. One of the releases they
have to offer this time is the first EP by the Portuguese band Deadly
Force, who delivers some impressive heavy metal played the good old
way.
The closest parallel to draw would probably be post-2000 Iron Maiden, much because of the fact that the vocalist Flavio Lino sounds a lot like Bruce Dickinson has done the last 15 years or so. But musically, this is way more traditional and down to earth, no 10+ minutes songs as far as the eye can see. Yet there's always still an epic feeling present though, who says songs must be super long to be epic? With that said, I still think that this band would definitely be able to create something more ambitious on future releases. It will be interesting to follow them, If you're a fan of Iron Maiden and their countless apprentices, you should check this out. And who doesn't like Maiden? 7/10 /H

Review: Autopsy – Tourniquets, Hacksaws and Graves (Peaceville 2014 CD)
Some critical voices may claim that
releasing another album just ten months after last years The Headless
Ritual seems a bit rushed. But since we're talking Autopsy here, I
don't really see the problem. I find the fact that one of the songs
are entitled Forever Hungry very appropriate. Since the re-union in
2009, they have given us new releases each year, always delivering
the absolute best death metal you'll possibly find these days, and
never lacking quality. Tourniquets, Hacksaws and Graves is no
exception.
Fast and twisted rippers like Savagery, Parasitic Eye and the title track are combined with more mid-paced tunes like King Of Flesh Ripped and Teeth Of The Shadow Horde. And of course there are also some slow, filth crawling doom numbers, The Howling Dead and Burial gives you just what you need, and along with the rest gives form to an album just as fantastic as you could ever expect from this band. Although I love the other new albums as well, I think that this, along with the EP The Tomb Within, is probably the best they've done since the re-union. Hopefully their productivity will stay intact, and we'll get a new Autopsy-album in 2015 as well. 9/10 /H
