Languish – Feeding The Flames of Annihilation (Prosthetic Records)

This is the third full length album by the quartet from Tucson, Arizona, and the longest… Well almost, the debut was ten tracks in under 17 minutes, with the follow-up being fifteen tracks in 27 minutes, while this one is… Continue Reading →

Strigoi – Viscera (Season of Mist)

When I was younger, I would obsessively follow the projects of artists I enjoyed, as I figured that liking something they were doing in one band meant I’d enjoy the output of another band in which they were involved. For… Continue Reading →

Oceans of Slumber – Starlight and Ash (Century Media)

It’s only been a couple of years since the release of Ocean Of Slumber’s self-titled album, and while saying they have reinvented their sound would be a complete falsehood, it can be stated that labelling their sound as New Southern… Continue Reading →

In Slumber – While We Sleep (War Anthem Records)

This is the fourth album over the span of 20 years for In Slumber, with Wolfgang Rothbauer taking care of vocals, guitars, bass, song writing and lyrics, i.e.: pretty much everything other than drums which were dealt with by Flo… Continue Reading →

Disquiet – Instigate To Annihilate (Soulseller Records)

This was a thoroughly enjoyable album. It’s the third full length album by the Dutch quintet who formed 22 years ago. Blending thrash and melodic death metal very effectively, the album has plenty of intensely rapid passages combined with flowing… Continue Reading →

The Damnnation – Way Of Perdition (Soulseller Records)

After listening to this debut album a couple times, I found the vocals very reminiscent of Arch Enemy’s ‘Khaos Legions’. It’s at this point I decided to read the band bio. Formed 3 years ago in São Paulo, Brazil, and… Continue Reading →

Warfist – Tuefels (Godz Ov War)

Formed 18 years ago, this is the fourth full length album by the Polish duo of drummer and backing vocalist Pavulon and guitarist and vocalist Mihu, with session and live bassist Nechrist. Labelling themselves as Blackened Thrash Metal, I have… Continue Reading →

Ancient Settlers – Our Last Eclipse (Crusader Records)

As things have changed over the last two years with everyone working remotely and collaborating with colleagues which are remotely located, why shouldn’t music do the same? While this sextet comprises of 5 Venezuelan members and a Finn, they are… Continue Reading →
