I had the pleasure of reviewing the last WiT album Maledictus Dies Illa for Ave Noctum and due to that I must put my cards on the table and say that I have been given access to this album since… Continue Reading →
I admit I jumped on this when it showed up: Billed as a one-time only project, this is Perturbator collaborating with Cult Of Luna’s Johannes Persson which to me just sounded potentially brilliant. So, not sure what it would be… Continue Reading →
This is the second album by this Chilean band and I was promised abyssic hellhounds, ritual, fervent darkness, mystifying song structures, unease, dread and occultic (?) death metal. So, with hopes of waves of weirdness similar to The Axis Of… Continue Reading →
I lucked on to this Brooklyn band just before the review copy arrived; some social media post, a picture that made me think ‘they look suitably obnoxious and anti-social. Kinda like Gehennah… ” Wonder if they sound like that? ‘Gape… Continue Reading →
Bit behind the curve on this. Some of you may remember me raving about the Blood Countess demo back in 2019 with the charmingly named The Cuntess on vocals (Eastern Front, Daemona). Been a rocky old time and now in… Continue Reading →

This is the work of one V-Khaoz, known to me primarily through the truly excellent Druaden Forest which is why I leapt on it in the review basket. It is, however not his usual black metal meets dungeon synth or… Continue Reading →
Antidiluvian. Before the (biblical) flood. Curious. It’s always kinda hard delving deep into such naming without lyrics but just take a look at that cover art and your mind goes spinning off into all sorts of weird, elder god haunted… Continue Reading →
Always very nice when you get an actual physical item through. You get a proper look at the art and in this case a slightly pink/purple on black Lovecraftian monstrosity. Sponsored by the Lottery no less. I always knew there… Continue Reading →
Death metal and tentacles; a match made in…er… Somewhere I don’t want to visit. Archaic death metal, this French band are, apparently, though and it’s their first album clocking in at a death metal commendable 30 odd minutes which promises… Continue Reading →
