Picked from the review pile essentially because I thought the name sounded cool, I later learned that Necrofier are an American Black Metal band, from Houston, Texas no less. It is fair to say that I was surprised by this… Continue Reading →
Canada has had its fair share of death metal bands, when you think about it. Atrae Bilis are the newest ones to hit my ears, with the Vancouver based four piece having formed back in 2018, with one EP to… Continue Reading →
Where does one begin when reviewing a band as legendary as Carcass? They are, without doubt, one of my favourite bands of all time. “influential” doesn’t even begin to cover it. This is a band that spawned Goregrind as a… Continue Reading →
Dutch death metal eh? That used to be quite the thing, once upon a time. Gorefest, for example, almost cracked the mainstream during the late 90’s. Apparently, Bloodphemy formed way back at the turn of the millennia, but disbanded a… Continue Reading →

Can it really be the fifth album for American’s Withered? I own four of them now (I haven’t got their sophomore album, Folie Circulaire), and incredibly while they are a band whom I still tend to think of as new,… Continue Reading →
King of Asgard have become a staple in the extreme metal genre, having recorded five albums since 2010. Their most recent album, Svartvidr, received a 9/10 review from yours truly Here. I caught up with Bassist Jonas Albrektsson, to talk… Continue Reading →
Right off the bat, I have to declare myself as a little biased when it comes to this review, as I’m a huge fan of vocalist Robert Lowe. Not only was he the lead singer of one of the most… Continue Reading →
The return of the Vikings. King of Asgard are back with their fifth release, their last being the moody “:Taudr:” album, way back now in 2017. For those not in the know, the Kings play a brand of extreme metal… Continue Reading →
