Aphonic Threnody – The Great Hatred (Transcending Obscurity Records)

I must admit to really enjoying this slow and doomy album by the Aphonic Threnody duo comprising of Riccardo Veronese on guitars and Juan Escobar C. on vocals, bass, guitar and keyboards, with Riccardo working out of the UK and… Continue Reading →

Marche Funèbre – Einderlicht (Hypnotic Dirge Records)

This is the fourth album by this Belgian quintet, whose name seems awfully familiar, but for some reason they are new to me. Formed 12 years ago, they released their first album in 2011 with the last one released in… Continue Reading →

Kataklysm – Unconquered (Nuclear Blast)

It’s amazing to think that this is the 14th full length studio album from Kataklysm. It also appears to be Oli Beaudoin’s swansong after drumming for the band on the last 4 albums, and I must say that his northern… Continue Reading →

Heathen – Empire Of The Blind (Nuclear Blast Records)

I’ve been a huge fan of Heathen since the early 90s, unfortunately they were already no more by the time I was a fan, not that it mattered, as I would never have been able to see them live from… Continue Reading →

Oceans Of Slumber – Oceans Of Slumber (Century Media)

This shall be the third release of Oceans Of Slumber I’m reviewing, and this self-titled album is definitely far more extreme, on both ends of the spectrum, to what they have released before. Opening track “The Soundtrack To My Last… Continue Reading →

Atramentus – Stygian (20 Buck Spin)

While only containing 3 songs, this album is three quarters of an hour long, and when you notice the second song is just shy of 5 minutes, you realise just how long the other 2 happen to be. While the… Continue Reading →

Atræ Bilis – Divinihility (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Atræ Bilis are a Canadian quartet playing death metal infused with melody and mellowness to juxtapose the brutal technicality of their chosen genre. Hailing from Vancouver they have released their first EP which showcases what they are capable of. It… Continue Reading →

SepticFlesh – Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX (Season of Mist)

What I’m really gutted by, is the fact that I only watched the first 20 minutes of the video before I had to get back to doing some work and by the time I got another chance to spend a… Continue Reading →

Phobetor – When Life Falls Silent (Black Jasper Records)

I’ve found that most debut albums fall into two categories. They are either a band that is still finding its feet and sound, and while a “good effort” nothing to particularly write home about, or they hit the ground running… Continue Reading →

AlNamrood – Wala’at (Shaytan Productions)

This appears to be the seventh album by the Saudi Arabian trio, which was formed in 2008. and while early albums focused on ancient Babylon, newer material is more topical and related to the Arabian Occult and entire Peninsula. Stylistically… Continue Reading →

Mordred – Volition (Independent)

I’m actually surprised I was never more of a Mordred fan in my youth. It probably has more to do with only ever seeing their albums once or twice in ZA and never getting a chance to actively listening to… Continue Reading →

Corpsing – Civilisation Under Nefarious Tyrants (S/R)

First things first. The album title is excellent on so very many levels. This twenty-year-old band was formed in London by the Cutispoto brothers and released their first two albums in 2005 and 2007 before going on a ten-year sabbatical…. Continue Reading →
