CD, MP3 and Demo reviews

Deletere – Les Heures De La Peste (Sepulchral Productions)

For over fifteen years, quietly and confidently, Sepulchral Productions has been flying the flag for Canadian home-grown black metal, seeking out some of the country’s most intriguing, obscure artists and presenting them to the world stage. Having released albums by… Continue Reading →

Abominator – Evil Proclaimed (Hell’s Headbanger’s)

Seemingly at rest for the past eight years, Australia’s satanic warmongers Abominator rise again. ‘Evil Proclaimed’ is their fifth album in a career which began way back in 1994. My only previous encounter with them was the second disc ‘Subversives… Continue Reading →

Iris Divine – Karma Sown (Sensory)

Iris Divine are a trio who hail from Northern Virginia. This might surprise many of you who listen to them because there is so much going on at times, it is a wonder how just three men could perform what… Continue Reading →

Antagoniste – The Myth of Mankind (I, Voidhanger)

We already know that French black metal bands hold convention in low regard. But these days, if it’s French, it must not only be good, but pushing so many boundaries it’s halfway to the Baltics. At least that’s pretty much… Continue Reading →

Twilight Fauna / Old Thunder – Bloodlines (Into The Night Records)

I wasn’t specifically asked to review this but as a download code was sent and I immersed myself in this split release by two USBM naturistic one man projects it would really have been rude not to especially as it… Continue Reading →

El Hijo De La Aurora – The Enigma of Evil (Minotauro)

It’s not often you hear of Peruvian doom bands, so El Hijo De La Aurora (The Son of Dawn) are certainly unique in that sense. Unfortunately for the trio’s third release, ‘The Enigma of Evil’, that’s where the inimitability ends…. Continue Reading →

Boar – Veneficae (Lost Pilgrim)

Every now and again I veer towards the whole stoner metal scene and usually towards what I think of as its purist form. I sit down with an album by bands like Dopethrone or Weedeater and think that I really… Continue Reading →

Dead Earth Politics – Men Become Gods (S/R)

Formed in 2005 in Austin, Texas, Dead Earth Politics made an impact in their locality with their 2006 debut E.P and 2010 full length release. After claiming accolades in the local Austin media regarding their sound and live shows, Dead… Continue Reading →

Ø L T E N – Mode (Hummus)

“Olten is a little town in Switzerland. And we put the “/” because we are Vikings”, said the Swiss trio when asked for meaning of their name by Metal Glory back in October 2013. Ø L T E N released… Continue Reading →

Anal Vomit – Petse Negra, Muerte Negra (Gates of Hell)

There are very few bands who can legitimately claim cult status in the death metal genre, and Anal Vomit are one of those few. Formed in 1992 in Lima, Peru, the uncompromising Death Metal four piece have undergone some line… Continue Reading →

Horla / Wytchfilth – Split (S/R)

My first question on discovering that both these one man black metal bands hail from Norwich was what would Alan think if he encountered them to play on the local radio show? I tried to find a suitable quote from… Continue Reading →

The Kahless Clone – An Endless Loop (S/R)

I happen to know that the name of this project has something to do with Star Trek, not due to the fact that I’m a totally sad sci-fi geek but due to someone I knew who named their son after… Continue Reading →
