Groan are a trip-tastic obsession for me, their releases are genuinely filled with a sense of mystery and character. They are a lot different to the many stoner doom bands out there and a lot of this comes from the… Continue Reading →
Everything about this one looked a little on the strange side but we like it when that happens and we have something to decipher. The artwork hints at some sort of post-apocalyptic future, the band name is frankly odd although… Continue Reading →
Righto, I’ll admit straight away, I’m confused by this CD. An American two piece multi instrumentalist studio album only band (as far as I can tell, please prove me wrong if they tour), on a small Swedish label, producing a… Continue Reading →
Mindtech is such a template name for a technical progressive metal band that I’m amazed it hasn’t been used before. This band from Norway follows that template with this collection of meaty progressive songs. For sure the production of “Elements… Continue Reading →
The concept of a guided tour around a city centre is, on the face of it, a decent idea. All the better if it’s a night tour of all the area’s more spooky haunts. I’d understand if this one isn’t… Continue Reading →

It’s always a great delight getting a pile of carefully wrapped discs over from Russian label Solitude Productions and their affiliated label Bad Mood Man. It’s a difficult task listening to them and thinking how much I like the sound… Continue Reading →
Inferno is one of those black metal bands whose back catalogue makes everyone else look lazy. Kicking off in the mid-nineties, they’ve had no fewer than 35 releases by rough count, mainly splits and demos but also, including this one,… Continue Reading →
How often do you read a review of an album in the magazines / on the net and the words ‘sounds like (insert band name)’ or ‘this is a (insert band name) rip off’ pop up? Happens to me lots… Continue Reading →
A Wocket in your Pocket. A Yeps on your Steps . These both may seem alarming enough. But a Noothgrush on your toothgrush??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell no. Good old Dr Seuss . Not only did he give us some of the most… Continue Reading →
