Raw Swedish black metal here with little in the way of finesse and absolutely no screwing around as this band inject their debut album chock full of ten songs in a “blink and you’ll miss them” 25 minutes. There’s absolutely… Continue Reading →
Ah French band The Negation are against ‘bleating sheep’ and the ‘weak and ignorant’ who use the likes of religion as a crux. We have that in common then and it is that annoying time of year when everyone is… Continue Reading →
I like a challenge, I always say that to our editor, and this album intrigued me with its short description on the review list with adjectives such as twisted, bleak, misery etc, thinking I was about to embark on a… Continue Reading →
First album from this Danish band and odd things are afoot. Upfront I need to say that Phantom are seriously, highly promising (which only makes sense as I, Voidhanger know their stuff): They are brimming over with more ideas than… Continue Reading →
Sometimes my masters at Ave Noctum towers send strange materials for me to review here at Spenny dungeons, and surely this is one such, a re-release of a 2011 demo EP, with added bonus track, all pending a 2014 LP… Continue Reading →

Irminsul are one of those bands whose sound consists on a mix of folk, pagan and viking metal, but unlike a lot of others practicing these styles, they’ve also managed to enter the realms of progressive music in their second… Continue Reading →
The stereotypical view of Australia as a very sunny, laid-back country will surely be dispelled after one listen to `The Saviours Slain’, for this album contains 100% pure rage. This is the fifth studio album from prolific death/thrash/metalcore crew Truth… Continue Reading →
Scalpel’s “Sorrow and Skin” is a 10 track slab of brutal, gory death metal. This is the Massachusetts band’s first full length LP coming three years after their debut ‘Common Threads’ EP. All the guys can obviously play their instruments… Continue Reading →
