Wilderun are a Symphonic Progressive Folk Metal band from Boston, Massachusetts and I’ll be honest, those are three sub-genres of metal I had not actually thought existed as a combined entity. Sure, there’s Symphonic Folk Metal, Progressive Metal, Folk Metal,… Continue Reading →
Back in 2020 my ears were pummelled by the split Megalith Levitation did with fellow Russkies Dekonstructor and it served as a great stop gap after the previous year’s debut long player Acid Doom Rites. The trio have been mining the Ural Mountains once more to construct giant slabs… Continue Reading →
Hardly a new name to me, these Australian monsters having been around since about 2004, but the first time I’ve actually tangled with them. Opening with the charming, fly buzzing intro to ‘Death To Pigs’ the album squeals and winds… Continue Reading →

After a decade or so behind the scenes producing music for other artists Jim Davies returned to the fold himself with 2020 release Headwars. I reviewed that elsewhere and described it as “fun, footloose and fancy free’ and it was… Continue Reading →
