Blazing Eternity – A Certain End Of Everything (Mighty Music)

It’s amazing when you hear a band for the first time, then discover that they’ve been around for over 30 years. Granted there was a major hiatus between their second album in 2003 and this one. The three core members… Continue Reading →

My Dying Bride – A Mortal Binding (Nuclear Blast)

34 years and 15 albums on, and I’m still enjoying these guys as much as when I first heard them 30 years ago. The 7 songs complete the just shy of an hour-long album, and are exactly what you’d expect,… Continue Reading →

Benighted – Ekbom (Season of Mist)

‘Ekbom’ is the French band’s 10th album in 24 years and still rather visceral after all this time. Which is rather apt when you consider the syndrome the album is named after. While Fabien Desgardins may have departed since their… Continue Reading →

Exhorder – Defectum Omnium (Nuclear Blast)

It’s only been 5 years since their last offering, so nearly 6 times shorter than the last wait we had to endure. But sadly this time Vinnie LaBella isn’t returning, so it’s just Kyle Thomas from the original line up… Continue Reading →

Sadus – The Shadow Inside (Nuclear Blast)

Sadus is one of those bands that I heard for the first time in ’90-91 and thought were a little too extreme for my tastes, at the time. By the time the members had their stints in Death, Dragonlord, Testament,… Continue Reading →

Ghosts of Atlantis – Riddles of the Sycophants (Hammerheart Records)

The first time I heard Ghosts of Atlantis was when I started listening to this album, and the first time I read about them was a couple of days earlier in an article about their recording with a local choir… Continue Reading →

Eternal Evil – The Gates Beyond Mortality (Listenable Records)

Formed 4 years ago, when the members were still teens… Actually they are still teens and playing a style of music made popular 2 decades before their births. and I’m happy to admit, I’m a fan! Their style of thrash… Continue Reading →

On Thorns I Lay – On Thorns I Lay (Season of Mist)

It’s been a couple of years since their last release, & the Greek sextet are back with their tenth album & first on Season of Mist. The album & current line-up are also different, so while vocalist Peter Miliadis, guitarist… Continue Reading →

Decapitated Christ – Glorious Tyrannizing Of Human Rats (FDA)
