I think it’s going a bit far to describe Feradur as “Luxembourg’s death metal royalty” as the publicity does, since I’m struggling to name any band from the Grand Duchy, let alone anyone blessed with royalty. Still, this EP is… Continue Reading →
What the Dar de duh happened? It’s been 9 years since these Romanians released their debut album, one could have almost forgotten about them and I have had to relearn how to spell their name all over again. Joking and… Continue Reading →
Seems to have been a while since I had some Quebecois Metal Noire to review and I really do have a soft spot for it so enter Oriflamme with their debut full length. I looked up their name and apparently… Continue Reading →
Inferno have been around a good while. This Czech Black Metal ensemble have been casting their spells since 1996 and Paradeigma is their eighth full length release. This album has as its muses a triumvirate of weighty tomes – “The Red Book” by Jung , “Time Reborn” by… Continue Reading →

Throat sound like they should be some awful metalcore, sample driven, knuckleheaded cagoule wearing, tight jeans wearing blot on the heavy music horizon band, but luckily for me (and you) they’re not that at all. In fact, what these glorious… Continue Reading →
Black Metal has always been a poorer brother to Death Metal for me. It’s a genre often billed as ‘the most shocking genre in Metal’ and stuff and I just don’t see it. Controversial maybe in terms of its murderous,… Continue Reading →
The Signature Dark label focuses mainly on dark ambience, drone, minimalism and experimental music. [ówt krì] ‘s soundscapes have been fitting this bill for quite some time so it would seem to be the perfect match. There’s not so much… Continue Reading →
Denmark’s seasoned thrashers ae back with their tenth album (did you spot the clue!) and after a series of high quality releases over the past few years, ‘X’ is what you would come to expect of the modern Artillery sound…. Continue Reading →
