We've covered some great stuff this time around on our webzine which is getting back to its position as one of Asia's biggest like when it was called Diabolical Conquest.

There are some great albums in there, contenders of the best albums of this year, such as Defeated Sanity, Scent of Death (technically last year), Inhumate (psychotic Death Metal/Grindcore), Tribulation (truly outstanding) and Ataraxy (read for yourself).

Furthermore, we've conducted an interview with Inhumate about 'Expulsed' which is one of the best albums in the Death/Grind genre this year -



"Yes, the band will not record anything after that 7th album. And of course we will do some gigs after it! Now, how will it stop exactly we don’t know for the time. But I think that we will choose a date for the very last gig! And after this one INHUMATE will be eternal"

Interview with Finnish Black Metal band Impaled Nazarene -

Excerpt - "I have heard a great story about Zappa: He had a concert at Berlin, Germany. Obviously things had gone totally straight to hell that day. So Zappa enters stage, alone and walks to the microphone. He starts Sieg heil, Sieg Heil. And what you know, suddenly you have sold-out venue sieg heiling. He then stops and so does audience. He says to the microphone: You assholes have not learnt anything and walks off without playing one single song."
