The fourth release from this London Thrash 4 piece is a meaty affair, helped in no small part to the production of Scott Atkins at Grindstone studios. When I say meaty I am talking full on Brazilian barbecue gut buster… Continue Reading →
I have to say, before I listened to this cd, I first looked these guys up and found this quote on metal Archives; “Adamus Exul are strictly apolitical, performing and promoting misanthropic and anti-social black metal art forms only” I… Continue Reading →
I doubt I was the only person who was rather surprised to hear that singer Candice Clot had decided to call it a day and leave Marseille based heavyweights Eths. The band had not long since released excellent album III… Continue Reading →
Nobody would really have expected that this USBM meeting of minds would have made it to a third album and be signed by Century Media when they released their debut self-titled album back in 2005. It was an album that… Continue Reading →

With bands pilfering from every metal genre through the ages these days, it’s becoming harder to confidently pigeon-hole them but, what the hell, I’m going for it anyway. Cosmic progressive thrash. There, I’ve done it. I’ve slotted Monsterworks into their… Continue Reading →
Where to start with this one? Well after the first somewhat baffling play it was a case of looking up more information on the band and I noted that this lot from St Petersburg in Russia contained both members of… Continue Reading →
Although this is their second album, I don’t recall crossing the lonely path of this one man Siberian atmospheric black metal band before. I’m quite glad I have now though. We get a gentle, melancholic intro with ‘The Dance Of… Continue Reading →
This carefully crafted album by Italian band In My Shiver is a dark affair. I’m tempted to call it “gothic” and reckon I could justify that on the basis that it is gloomy and atmospheric. It’s heavier and occasionally lighter… Continue Reading →
