CD, MP3 and Demo reviews

Fox Oak – Destroying Angel (S/R)

Here’s a thing. Fungi based ambient? Well this EP is the debut from a project by Conchuir O’Drona of From The Bogs Of Aughiska, now located outside of the Brexshit zone to the relative calm of Sweden. Not being up… Continue Reading →

Cadaver – Edder & Bile (Nuclear Blast)

If ever you needed proof that a Cadaver could rise and roar again, here it is! Reanimated after the Necrosis of the last album had set in, the limbs were flexed and rigor-mortis was eased by a new E.P D.G.A.F…. Continue Reading →

Light Field Reverie – Another World (Avantgarde Music)

Variety is the spice of life and as much as we all need gnarly slabs of aggressive metal to see us through the day, there are also times when we need something more mellow but still within the realm of… Continue Reading →

E.N.D. – A Grave Deceit (Geenger Records)

Croatian band Evil Never Dies, or E.N.D., have been in existence since 1996 when they were a hardcore band in the style of Sick of It All, since when they have moved towards the realms of groove metal. This EP… Continue Reading →

Corecass – Void (Golden Antenna Records)

Wow, where do I start on this one. So it was sold to me as a creative outlet, beyond a conventional approach, something truly unique, expressive, whilst fusing together instruments such as the harp, accordion, guitar and natural voice. Intrigued??… Continue Reading →

Mitochondrial Sun – Sju Pulsarer (Argonauta Records)

Back in February, Niklas Sundlin felt that the time was right to let some of his creative ideas which didn’t quite fit for Dark Tranquillity gain a life and identity of their own. ‘Mitochondrial Sun’, the self-titled debut album of… Continue Reading →

Subterraen – Rotten Human Kingdom (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Doom and sludge metal has not been a favourite genre of mine for a few years now but the recent awesome album by Sweden’s Serpent Omega, ‘II’, changed that so I decided to give Subterraen a go which turned out… Continue Reading →

Neige et Noirceur – Bach: Preludium Minor (Avantgarde Music)

I know most of Neige et Noirceur’s back catalogue, and I think it’s fair to say that this one-man project always has an interesting take on black metal. This album is no exception. As the title may suggest it is… Continue Reading →

White Magician – Dealers of Divinity (Cruz Del Sur)

Speed Prog. There is a two-word review for you. A concise and to the point critique of these Motor City rockers.  The whip cracking Editor Commander Woods demands more bang for his non-existent buck so I will endeavour to extrapolate further. White Magician are… Continue Reading →

Avandra – Skylighting (Layered Reality Productions)

Hailing from Puerto Rico, Progressive Rock/Metal band Avandra have been steadily making headway through the underground prog scene thanks to their first two releases and now look to reach an even wider audience with their third outing “Skylighting”. Originally started… Continue Reading →

Collapse Under the Empire – Everything We Will Leave Beyond Us (Finaltune Records)

This is the world of dark soundcapes, apocalyptic guitars and epic synth sounds, they tell us. It all points to collapse on this, the band’s 8th album release. “Ark of Horizon” is post rock with electronica. The album as a… Continue Reading →

Dark Psychosis – The Edge Of Nowhere (Moribund Records)

Consisting primarily of multi-instrumentalist Xaphan (from a multitude of Michigan legends including Summon and Masochist), Dark Psychosis has been around in one form or another since 1996, expanding to a full live line-up briefly in 2013-14. “The Edge Of Nowhere” is their third… Continue Reading →
