Formed from the ashes of Nuclear Genocide, Oslo speed/thrash trio Evoke have been firing off their high octane 80’s inspired metal since 2016’s two demo’s ‘Souls Of The Night’ and ‘Rehellshall’. Now, stepping up once again, their debut full length… Continue Reading →
When my esteemed editor sent me the download for pan-American band Somnus Throne’s eponymous debut out of the blue, it was an act I’d never heard of. Bizarrely however, within minutes of that email arriving, the name suddenly started popping… Continue Reading →
Back when I was a nipper in the 90s…. Ok, just in my 30s…. I was exploring the odd world of what I like to think of as “post -Norwegian black metal weirdshit”. Elend, Monumentum, Mortiis era 1, Ahkenaton’s Divine… Continue Reading →
