The mid 70’s were a great time for experimentation and radical ideas and when you mixed dystopian fantasy and a shed load of psychedelic pharmaceuticals the results for film goers could often send them on a right old trip in… Continue Reading →
This one sat on our reviews list for a couple of weeks without anyone remotely attempting to show any interest. I noticed the ‘progressive black metal’ band from Romania helmed by renowned graphic artist Costin Chioreanu had got coverage from… Continue Reading →
“Bloody Vardan’ and that’s not the first time I have muttered those words under my breath, after all this is the sixth album I have reviewed by him this year and it probably won’t be the last. He must sit… Continue Reading →
Who says music can’t still have an aura of mystery about it in the internet age? You don’t just have to wear masks to have an air of intrigue about you either. Take Dolch for example. Not only do they… Continue Reading →

I really enjoyed the last self-titled and second album from Japanese nutters Zothique. It kind of came out of nowhere as has the follow up, unexpectedly arriving in the post all the way from the Far East. Zothique do have… Continue Reading →
Formed just 9 months ago and apparently comprising of members of bands from the Dutch underground such as Sammath, Kjeld and Noordelingen this is a debut album of ‘black, war metal’ and it’s rather a vicious beast too. There’s not… Continue Reading →
