‘Slaver’ is the fourth album by this Australian trio from Adelaide, and while the first 3 appear to be very pirate orientated, and while this one isn’t as buccaneer based, it still retains the theme of atrocities men commit on… Continue Reading →
Sixteen albums… That amounts to an album released every other year of Paradise Lost’s 32-year career. Granted there are some longer breaks than a year, but that’s because they released 7 in in the 1990s. Not only prolific, but damned… Continue Reading →
This is the sixth album by 13 year old black metal band Blaze Of Sorrow, and if you’ve never heard of them, it might have a little to do with the fact that they sing Italian lyrics which may not… Continue Reading →
While this may not be as amusing as I’m making it out to be, I think this album is ahead of the curve. This is not just because it was recorded between 2017 and 2019, but… Drums and guitars were… Continue Reading →

This is the 9th album by this 25 year old Greek band. Granted this may be the first album of theirs that I’m actually listening to, but I was aware of their existence owing to their contemporaries which I follow… Continue Reading →
I think the last time I went to a gig in Milton Keynes was in at the Bowl in June 1998, but must say that other than it being a fair distance to get to, The Craufurd Arms did impress… Continue Reading →
This is quite easily Sepultura’s best album in a really long time. Sure, I’ve enjoyed the last 3 but nowhere near as much as this one. Perhaps is has to do with the quartering up of the album and that… Continue Reading →
