Death Wolf is the side project of Marduk’s Morgan Håkansson, originally known as Devils Whorehouse – unsurprisingly a Misfits tribute. As mildly entertaining as the first Devils Whorehouse EP was, personally there didn’t appear to be much mileage in the… Continue Reading →
This is a nice release, two of my favourite Swedish bands playing two distinct styles or variations of traditional metal, both having one individual track, one cover track and another cover of a track by the other band (if you… Continue Reading →
This is Germany’s answer to old school death metal, no stranger to me or Ave Noctum, this is the band’s third full length effort. Whilst the bare rotten bones of the two predecessors reside rather brutally in places, there is… Continue Reading →
Not to be confused with the German blackened death outlet of the same name, French trio Morgon have resurrected their 2012 self-released album ‘Necrokvlt Archeochaosphere’ via Terror From Hell Records and the result is as deadly as it seems. With… Continue Reading →

Just when you thought it was safe to stick two fingers up to the year that was 2014 and tell it to do one the Bergen Blacksters that are Taake unleash their sixth studio album and remind you that it’s… Continue Reading →
I heard just one song, opening track ‘Caring Is Gone’, and I rather leapt at the chance of hearing more. A brand new band from Finland settling themselves nicely in that awkward-to-categorize genre often (and rather loosely) classified as Dark… Continue Reading →
Originally started as a one man Black Metal project, Morodh was the brainchild of guitarist Ragnaar. He is joined on this debut full length journey into Depressive Black Metal by drummer Andreas, bassist Anthart and Astaroth on vocals. For anyone… Continue Reading →
