What does one get invited to at a Carnal Tomb? Well an Orgy Of The Dead naturally. However, it is unlikely this German quartet are going to turn up sporting favourite angora sweaters to gyrate with The Wolfman, zombies and… Continue Reading →
When is a supergroup not a supergroup? I would say when it has anything to do with extreme metal. Those guys just not keep it in their pants when it comes to musical monogamy. They leap into bands like the… Continue Reading →
A couple of years ago I reviewed a very decent album called “Entheogen” by an Australian progressive metal band called Mish. The leader of Mish went off and formed Hence Confetti, and this is their debut EP. The “emotional heavy… Continue Reading →
I’m not the resident stoner rock/metal expert here at Ave Noctum (we have two gentlemen who could compete for that title), but every now and then, for the sake of change, I do like to listen to meaty guitar riffs… Continue Reading →

There are certain areas of history, culture and the world in general that I maintain are criminally underexplored in metal of any flavour: the weird and wonderful world of spiders, the unsettling astrophysics of black holes and other intergalactic terrors,… Continue Reading →
Magnificent, epic, bombastic, opulent, cinematic……I could go on but you get the idea. Jo Quail’s latest offering is stunning and even though her previous releases were well received, this is a whole other level. I’m sure most people are familiar… Continue Reading →
Two things to consider before playing this album. Firstly “you are going to die,” there’s absolutely no sugar-coating this fact and the warped somewhat familiar and long sample at the beginning of the album will make that quite clear. Secondly,… Continue Reading →
