Scorn are a band from France who formed rather recently (2021) and seem to be wasting no time in getting into gear and putting their work out there. Primarily described as a Thrash metal act with some death metal influences,… Continue Reading →
Antidiluvian. Before the (biblical) flood. Curious. It’s always kinda hard delving deep into such naming without lyrics but just take a look at that cover art and your mind goes spinning off into all sorts of weird, elder god haunted… Continue Reading →
It’s back to bygone dusty trails of West Virginia, the country roads of which John Denver once put into musical verse when he yearned a return. We wanted one too as it has been seven years since Nechochwen (and amazingly… Continue Reading →
I have a soft spot for dark-tinged rock and punk and that’s why I picked the album at hand from our review basket without exploring much further. As is sometimes the case, it turned out not to be quite what… Continue Reading →
This may only last 25 minutes but having heard this Lithuanian band’s two previous, I had no doubt that this would be another journey of post metal intensity with many variations to keep us honest. Negation, lethargy, epiphany, alienation: I’m… Continue Reading →

My first observation on this album is to compliment the artwork and packaging. Of course this doesn’t tell us that it’s a great album. The packaging is also a question of money as well as creativity, although this is self-released… Continue Reading →
I was lucky enough to catch some of this album live when this London based act supported Wiegedood. At the time I mentioned that I hoped the album would find its way to me and lo it has. This is… Continue Reading →
Unrelenting, punishing black metal from these majestic Norwegians and it comes in the form of their latest release, ‘Drep Alle Guder’. Track one, and title track, opens with a simple command, “The Beast Must Die” and then all hell breaks… Continue Reading →
You know, despite doing my best to be the non-materialist environmentally friendly old hippy that I was apparently born to be, it is sometimes just plain and simply nice to get stuff. Having something that you can actually hold in… Continue Reading →
