Being a reviewer is a little bit like constantly arguing with oneself. For example, when you see someone say something like ‘it’s excellent Black Metal’ and then later they say ‘there is too much of a Black Metal influence’ you… Continue Reading →
I blame Horror for me not being as into Black Metal. As a child I gravitated towards B-movies and nasty Horror flicks (probably a bit worrying on reflection). Because of this it would appear that my natural path would lead… Continue Reading →
As you know I adore the gore, but there’s more to me than that. A good summary of my relationship Death Metal actually would be the book Rotting Ways To Misery: The History Of Finnish Death Metal. Many of the… Continue Reading →
Doom is perhaps one of the main genres that I should love but am very hit or miss with. I totally get it, especially the occult appeal, I love that. In fact, one of my favourite releases of the last… Continue Reading →

I spend a lot of my time reflecting on music. Whether that be battling with myself about checking out new genres or embracing nostalgia or even the future I’m always on a journey. I think that is the sad part… Continue Reading →
Russia is no stranger to Death Metal, Abominable Putridity, Katalepsy, Hieronymus Bosch, 7 H.Target, need I go on? There’s a lot of great bands from this part of the world and they continue to keep coming thick and fast. I’m… Continue Reading →
To call the Finnish Death Metal scene overlooked would be a bit silly I think, but to call it underground would most certainly be apt. I’ve enjoyed my fair share of Finnish Death Metal in my time from Xysma to… Continue Reading →
