Each of them deserves attention, so...

Honorable Mentions from the Abyss #7: Seax/Pounder/Fatal Curse

Hey brutalbangers,

the pure heavy metal has been covered very few times on this 'zine (I remember, for example, a review about October 31), so this new appointment with "Honorable Mentions from the Abyss" is very special. In fact, today you'll read about 3 bands playing traditional metal and/or speed metal (speaking about this last one, check it out my articles about the proto-speed/thrash metal) and, plus, all of them comes from USA. It's possible that I'll talk about similar bands in the near future because ultimately they are sending me a lot of this stuff but, for the moment, read this article and enjoy it!

Gargoyle - "Reborn in Blasphemy" (Shadow Kingdom Records, 2016)

Band: Gargoyle
Title: Reborn in Blasphemy
Genre: Doom metal
Time: 24 min
Year: 2016
Rating: 73/100












The Gargoyle is one of those bands that I review for a precise reason: their nationality. In fact, the Gargoyle are Italians like me but, if I am Roman, they come from Reggio Calabria (Calabria). They released the DIY demo “Reborn in Blasphemy” on CD on 30^th March 2016, now re-released on cassette by the US label Shadow Kingdom Records with a new song in addition to the original 3 tracks. Hence, now we’ll discover what have to say to us these 4 hangmen of which their fantastic logo was made by Damien Thorne of the landsmen black/thrashers Bunker 66!
