More strangeness from the strange dimension that is Aesthetic Death, definitely one of the most adventurous labels out there. This time we have a collaboration between Ord (sole member Ord Err) and Demonologists (Cory Rowell, Evan Price) both I guess… Continue Reading →
I mean, with that name (though can you have a non-misanthropic war?) and that label and that cover I think you can pretty much guess that genre and picky sub-genre aside you’re in for a total racket. Now that’s fine… Continue Reading →
Doro, metal queen indeed, is less than a year older than me. Considering how long I’ve been listening to her that is a sobering realisation. I have immense respect for her as an artist and a person – she has… Continue Reading →
So, Cirith Ungol fans. New album. Off you go, pre-order it. You know you want to and it will not disappoint. Right, have they gone? Good. You see as a long term fan of this genuinely unique band there is… Continue Reading →
It appears that I am way behind the curve on Fortíð. I thought I knew these Icelanders but apparently just their name had crossed my path. So twenty years and seven albums later I finally catch up with them. The… Continue Reading →

That’s some cover up there isn’t it? I think occult obsessed Trivax have a statement to make ladies and gentlemen.. Heh. I wonder if there are any people out there who bought the debut Trivax album back in 2016 but… Continue Reading →
Oooookaaaay Reverend…. This is both weird and more than a little creepy in places. A minute into what has built up into a pretty cool epic/power metal song ‘Leave A Little Room’ , suddenly we drop into half spoken word… Continue Reading →
So when is dungeon synth not dungeon synth? When it uses traditional dark ages instruments and when it isn’t about dungeons…! Er, yeah, but there is a teeny little connection to this, honest, kind of. A lot of dungeon synth… Continue Reading →
No denying I jumped on this when it came in. Been six years since the last Damnation’s Hammer album ‘Unseen Planets, Deadly Spheres’ and also that long since I last caught them live. So hopefully this album will help them… Continue Reading →
