Your No. 1 Source For Extreme And Atmospheric Music And Film.

Author Angela Brown

If you've hazy memory of a short skinny girl with a mane of dreadlocks either scowling at you or spilling a pint on you at a gig, that was probably me, and I can only apologise. My preferred genres of music are doom and black metal; I frequent the London gig circuits for both. I have 10 years of writing experience under my belt and I am currently a content editor for Ghost Cult Magazine, as well as a scribe for both Terrorizer and Soundshock. My dreams and aspirations involve becoming editor of either my own publication or a pre-existing one (power is power, after all) and to bring the underground music scene the recognition and praise that it so rightfully deserves. I collect cats, patches and band shirts. Mine's an ale, if you're buying.

Anciients – Heart of Oak (Season of Mist)

The debut album from Canadian progressive metallers Anciients is likely to draw many comparisons to the likes of Opeth and Mastodon and whilst the latter is quite apt, the only relation to Opeth that this band has is their love… Continue Reading →

Miseria Visage – Vanish into Dark (Three Rooks Records)

Birthed in 2012, Miseria Visage is a solo symphonic black metal project based in Leeds. ‘Vanish into Dark’ is an impressive feat for one person when taking into consideration the grandiose of the avant-garde sound of the album teamed with… Continue Reading →

North – The Great Silence (Cavity Records)

The follow up to 2008’s ‘What You Were’, ‘The Great Silence’ sees North dropping some of the prettier post-rock elements of their sound and picking up some heavier, sludge influenced inspirations, that’s most apparent on the guitars. The atmospheric and… Continue Reading →

Ancient VVisdom – Deathlike (Prosthetic Records)

Ancient VVisdom are a band whose reputation is certainly as dark as their music; their debut release ‘Inner Earth’ was a split with the infamous Charles Manson before they exploded onto the scene in 2011 with their first full length… Continue Reading →

Veneror – Percussimus Foedus Cum Morte (New Era Productions)

Five years since their inception, and three years since the release of their EP, Italian black metal outfit Veneror have at last put out their first full length album. The artwork is stunning and the lyrics, revolving around black magic,… Continue Reading →

Skon – At the End of a Journey (Hexencave Productions)

Released mid-2010, ‘At the End of a Journey’ has failed to make much of an impression upon the masses, with hardly any reviews to be found either online or in print publications. Formerly known as Carpathia, it is without surprise… Continue Reading →
