Old pointy nose is back! Mortiis and friends return after a 5 year hiatus and he has even released a statement that the goblin mask is coming out of mothballs. Good because this glorious electro industrial pop metal record deserves… Continue Reading →
Like most, I’d never heard of Oceans of Slumber either, but the blurb I was sent said they had done a Candlemass cover, so I was intrigued enough to give them a listen. Now the aforementioned cover isn’t on this… Continue Reading →
Neill Jameson isn’t the only member of Krieg causing musical chaos in a host of other acts such as Royal Arch Blaspheme, Lithotome etc. His partner in crime Alex Poole is also busy with and relatively new project Skáphe as… Continue Reading →
Welcome Back Beseech! Beseech, for those who are unfamiliar with the band, they were Gothic Metal before it really became Gothic Metal. Before Evanescence flirted with the charts and Nightwish appealed to the masses there was a bunch of bands… Continue Reading →
Now, how could I not pick this one for review…! An album entirely based on, and influenced by, classic Italian horror and giallo films of the 60’s and 70’s. Arcana 13 clearly love their Bava, Fulci and Argento, and have… Continue Reading →

This is the first time I’ve caught up with Miasmal since their 2011 album, “Miasmal”, which I recall being pretty impressed with at the time. Since that time, the Swedish four-piece has released a split with fellow death / thrash… Continue Reading →
It’s quite refreshing when a band in any genre bucks the trends set by their peers. With most extreme death metal bands nowadays trying to outdo one another in terms of who can sound more slamtastic than the rest, Atrocious… Continue Reading →
Leicester’s Temple of Lies have hitched up their wagons and headed west – figuratively at least. What this quartet offer is stoner/desert rock with a metal edge. It may be the Midlands connection but I get a bit of a… Continue Reading →
In the twenty plus years of their existence, like pretty much any band Church of Misery have had some ups and downs; few can be as dramatic as in 2014 when three of the four members quit the band, leaving… Continue Reading →
