They're both rubbish.

I discovered a cool band today called Scapegoat from Bulgaria. The debut sounds like some old school atmospheric death/thrash with a technical flavor to it.

Infidel Reich.
Featuring members of Acheron, Soulburn and Asphyx. Sounds like a mixture of those bands unsurprisingly.

Bullshit. Hate was one of the better death albums of 1995.

Sinister were not rubbish.

There's a new Pestilence album coming out in March 2018.

New song here:

Definitely has a more old school feeling to it, in fact it reminds me quite a bit of Testimony of the Ancients so this might turn out to be okay, but not great.

Apparently the album has leaked already, too.

Why the past tense? They released a fucking good album this year.

Ive not checked it out to be fair, will look it up.

Maybe it's the Buckfast talking but...

Gorefest are fucking BRILLIANT!!!

It sounds better than their 2-3 albums, but the constant lineup changes have really taken a toll on the band creatively.

I'm old school when it comes to Sinister though. For me they were a pretty damn good band with moments of greatness between 1993-1998 and then

Cross The Styx aside, they do very little for me.
False is, that's about it.

Have you heard Gorefest's 2007 "Rise To Ruin" album Sol? It's pretty decent as well.

The first three Sinister albums are all very good with 1993's "Diabolical Summoning" being my favourite. I also quite like 2008's "The Silent Howling" album.

I have, didn't think much of it TBH. False is the only one of theirs that struck a chord with me.

I saw them support 'Priest' in 1998. They were fucking awful...

New Nocturnus (AD) demo:



So-so.

This is pleasing

Same lineup?

Sounds alright to me. As long as they don't overproduce their album, it should be fine.

Not sure why they are returning after all these years though. They probably should have reformed 10 or so years ago. I understand that their early work has a real cult following, but I'm unsure of whether that following is big enough to sustain them.

Just Browning. It's another of those stupid legal battles where the rest of (the then line-up of) Nocturnus went to court over use of the name and Browning was locked out. He reformed the original line-up as After Death and this is a continuation of that band. Clearly he's riffing on the concept behind The Key, certainly aesthetically. Not sure why he's bothering, The Key and (to a lesser extent) Thresholds were the only things from either band worth hearing.

After the demos Nocturnus were shite. The Incubus demo shits all over Nocturnus.

Only heard Chapter 13. Only remember the title track.
