Sometimes when people talk to you there’s loads of words coming out but none of them say anything. That was kind of like the press blurb for this band. It says lots about how big they are in their home… Continue Reading →
It’s coming up to two decades since USBM stalwarts Krieg started on a career which has seen some of the harshest black metal ever shat out the bowels of all that is unholy. Their 2002 release ‘Destruction Ritual’ was my… Continue Reading →
Fabio Gatto is the person behind pretty much everything heard on debut Humm album ‘No Empathy Before Doomsday’ and it’s a somewhat strange post blackened journey that he takes us on. It does seem that he has some empathy though… Continue Reading →
“The drug which gives the clown power Means the circus can never be stopped And his dream can go on unhindered ‘Til the last human being has dropped” Any excuse to use lyrics to the classic Human League track Circus… Continue Reading →
Complicated and intricate post black metal here from this Russian duo with their debut EP. Essentially this work consists of two sprawling tacks with plenty of ideas about them. It’s partly avant-garde and out there and also kind of installing… Continue Reading →

To say that Australian Tim Yatras who also at times goes by the name Sorrow has had a busy career would be an understatement. It’s pretty easy to lose count of the amount of bands and solo projects he has… Continue Reading →
A new filthy force emerging from the foggy forests of Finland (well they probably live somewhere quite respectable but it sounds good) are Oath. This duo has only been active since 2012 but have already accrued a couple of EP’s… Continue Reading →
With Immoral Tales (Contes immoraux 1974) it was as though Borowczyk had released his inner perv. It’s an odd compendium which at times sees its four stories gelling but at others not quite so. This is certainly true of the… Continue Reading →
