CD, MP3 and Demo reviews

Vorum – Current Mouth (Sepulchral Voice)

There’s been quite a buzz about cult of death Vorum of late no doubt making them one of the biggest exports from the Åland Islands off Finland at the moment. They played the UK recently and I am kind of… Continue Reading →

EVO ALGY – Damned Unto Death (High Roller)

EVO (Paul Evans/Paul Evo) is the guy from UK non-conformists Warfare and ALGY (Ward) is the original Tank bassist and founder. Based on their past history, I would expect a brash and harsh release, which you get in places. The… Continue Reading →

Ecstatic Vision – Sonic Praise (Relapse)

For decades, Ecstatic Vision have been one of those bands about whom so many legends have arisen, but so little is actually known. Was their attempt to poach him after he laid down some guest vocals the real reason Captain… Continue Reading →

Intensive Square – Anything that Moves (Black Bow)

Five hairy blokes from South Wales present to us their debut album. What is noticeable about this album from the beginning is how tight it is. I’m not from their part of the world and haven’t seen them live but… Continue Reading →

Undead – Blood Enemy (S/R)

This 7” vinyl turned up a couple of weeks ago and I really found information about the band’s origins difficult to come by. They are represented on the internet well enough but were not up on metal archives that I… Continue Reading →

Cut Up – Forensic Nightmares (Metal Blade)

Vomitory were a band I first got blown away by when they played with Cannibal Corpse at the Camden Underworld in 2000, in support of their excellent ‘Redemption’ album. Although I stopped shelling out for their CDs some years back,… Continue Reading →

Dying Humanity – Deadened (Bastardized)

Chemnitz based five piece Dying Humanity return with their fourth album “Deadened”.  The album itself is a heavy mix of groove metal, thrash metal and death metal, taking the heaviness, intensity and power of all styles, adding in some powerful… Continue Reading →

Precaria – Precaria Ex Humanitas (Desavenencia)

Mexico isn’t the first place that you think of when it comes to hateful and nihilistic black metal, but it just might be, after you’ve heard this first full-length album from Precaria. Released last year in limited quantities, ‘Precaria Ex… Continue Reading →

Vattnet Viskar – Settler (Century Media)

Hailing from the American heartlands yet taking their name for the Swedish for “the water is whispering”, Vattnet Viskar have always been an innovative, multi-faceted band. On the one hand, their clear first love is for the more familial strains… Continue Reading →

Glowsun – Beyond The Wall Of Time (Napalm)

Hailing from Lille, France, Glowsun are a psychedelic stoner rock trio who are predominantly an instrumental band. Opting to allow the music to be the main focus, the lack of vocals really helps set the trio apart as they sling… Continue Reading →

AZAVATAR – S/T (Art Of Propaganda)

It’s quite clear from this debut self-titled release, that AZAVATAR like things big and bold. Lot’s of upper-case lettering, and all the song titles are just one word. They all start with a K (instead of a C), and have… Continue Reading →

Goblin Rebirth – S/T (Relapse)

The band that started life as Oliver, morphed into Cherry Five and then finally Goblin in the mid 70’s have certainly been through a confusing conundrum of stages and splinter groups since they fragmented in the early 80’s. The band… Continue Reading →
