Tech Death is a little bit like the early days of Prog Rock. Each band appears hell bent on outdoing the next, I guess that’s just music for you in general but in this case it’s very apt. There has… Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since we have heard from these Finn’s. Their last album ‘Green Eyleen’ came out five years ago, with the band starting to release material way back in 2012, when I first myself first got to hear… Continue Reading →
This is nice. Getting sent an actual (turquoise) cassette to review. A four song each split between two black metal one-man projects about whom I know nothing. Oh, and the neat, nicely designed insert also includes lyrics. So, hats off… Continue Reading →
And now for something a little bit different… It’s time to shuffle the deck and pick some cards from the Minor and the Major Arcana of musician Jeff Grimal, formerly of The Great Old Ones. Fate is very much in… Continue Reading →
Veteran German thrashers Accuser have come roaring back with this self-titled release. Album number 12 finds them in a delightfully skull crushing mood with the return of lead guitarist René Shütz giving proceedings a classic lift. Like an aural explosion,… Continue Reading →

I wait with bated breath every time Dark Tranquillity announce a new album in fear that it will be crap or even worse, boring. As an unabashed fangirl, I know I will love whatever they write, but I desperately want… Continue Reading →
Yes, this may only be a 3 song EP, but that doesn’t mean it’s only 10 minutes long. In fact, the title track takes care of that all by itself, while the other 2 songs average out at 6 minutes… Continue Reading →
Five years ago I reviewed Proliferation and ended my 8/10 critique with “Fast loud and Rude” a nod to Vic Rattlehead and 80’s thrash. Somehow 2017’s “Extinction” passed me by – I think I played some singles on the radio. So, it is with a… Continue Reading →
