CD, MP3 and Demo reviews

Xythlia – Immortality through Quantum Suicide (I, Voidhanger Records)

Promoted as “the perfect visionary soundtrack for … a brutal, mutant universe”, this album from US artist Nick Stanger promises an experimental and extreme metal experience. Extreme it is. Manic, screaming deathly outputs are matched with vocal roars and a… Continue Reading →

Eternal Rot – Putridarium (Godz ov War)

A shorty but goody for you all here. I’m a sucker for all things Polish, and in fairness Polish extreme music bands are among my favourites. I spent some time over there on holidays in the late 1990’s, and bought… Continue Reading →

Shrapnel Storm – Shrapnel Storm (Great Dane Records)

War! What is it good for? Not a lot really, other than perhaps music. I mean is war the love song of the Metal or even Punk world? I would say so. It’s a topic that is covered time and… Continue Reading →

Psychlona – Venus Skytrip (Ripple Music)

Put on your bell bottoms, grab your lava lamp and jump in your shaggin’ wagon it’s time for another trip down nostalgia way. This time we are going via the desert road, which strangely is now winding around Yorkshire! Psychlona, since 2016 have been laying… Continue Reading →

Primitive Man – Immersion (Relapse)

Despite having existed as a band for only 8 years and releasing just three full length albums, Primitive Man are a trio that need no introductions. This could be attributed to the whopping eight split releases they have put out… Continue Reading →

Temple Nightside – Pillars of Damnation (Iron Bonehead)

Ah, the current hot weather spell in the UK makes me think of good old Australia. I tell you what else makes me think of our south of the equator cousins? Blackened death metal. I reviewed 2016’s “The Hecatomb” album… Continue Reading →

Next Life – Guru Meditation (Fysisk Format)

A bit of craziness is always a good ingredient in any kind of art. In fact, finding appealing art and music might be about discovering the wackiness that agrees with you. Next Life’s new album Guru Meditation features a very… Continue Reading →

Black Saturn & Grosso Gadgetto – Earth Project (Atypeek Music)

We do get the odd bit of strangeness into the Ave Noctum presidium now and than. Which is always welcomed by one or other of the scribes. A bit of avant-garde noodling, some abstract noise, some Satanic jazz salsa; whatever… Continue Reading →

Throneum – Oh Death… Oh Death… Determinate, Preach and Lead Us Astray.. (Godz Ov War)

Stalwarts of the Polish scene, Throneum have been around in one form or another since way back in 1996 and have a huge array of releases leading up to this their tenth album. Paths should certainly have crossed anyone into… Continue Reading →

Havukruunu – Uinuos syömein sota (Naturmacht)

Yep this is Finnish but boy listening to it there is a good chance you will get transported off to the Wild West and the lawless frontiers. Perhaps that is due to the fact that it has been the musical… Continue Reading →

Volcanova – Radical Waves (The Sign Records)

Here’s a little thing for you to try folks. If you live in the UK, go to Google, type in “Iceland”, and rather than bring up the Nordic country the first few pages of results will actually be to do… Continue Reading →

Ingested – Where Only Gods May Tread (Unique Leader)

Ingested are one of those bands that I have heard of, and seen, but haven’t really paid a huge amount of attention to despite having been mostly impressed on occasions when they have popped up as a support act at… Continue Reading →
