Diskord hail from Norway, and have had an unflinching penchant for blasting out dissonant, progressive and downright weird death metal since forming in 1999. Having released their second album ‘Dystopics’ on the ‘No Posers Please!’ label in 2012, Diskord’s debut… Continue Reading →
“A zud or dzud (Mongolian: зуд) is a Mongolian term for an extremely snowy winter in which livestock are unable to find fodder through the snow cover, and large numbers of animals die due to starvation and the cold. The… Continue Reading →
In the current grand resurrection of Scandinavian heavy metal, this 7 inch vinyl 2 tracker is very simple but very catchy hard rock/metal. If you like bands like Bullet (Swe) and Vanderbuyst; you will be in good company. This is… Continue Reading →
Perfect triplet of unconnected words making up the title of this debut EP from Swede deathsters Ensnared but it gives you a clue what to expect; hunger suffering and the cold light of day. Having previously been active as Gravehammer… Continue Reading →
Toledo Steel are a band I caught live earlier this year and boy was I impressed. Their demo material was a shape of things to come and these young guys certainly feel inspired by the NWOBHM movement and a fair… Continue Reading →
I have to get this out of the way. Plough is an awful name for a band. Unless you are a Metal Wurzels tribute act. It conjures up memories of harvest festival at junior school which I have had therapy… Continue Reading →

This is a first full length release from Stockholm’s Desolator. Yes – death metal, mere copycats of the Swedeath sound – no. Desolator previously entertained us with a split release with Resurgency, this full length has quite a few older… Continue Reading →
So this is the last Ministry album ever…. Hold on, been here before, who is anyone trying to kid? There is a reason this perhaps unlucky 13th studio album had to exist and it is a completely legitimate one. Al… Continue Reading →
These are currently good times for death metal. The sinister churn of occult acts such as Necros Christos and Grave Miasma are sending shivers down people’s spines, the ultra-tech boys such as Origin strive for ever-faster ways of damaging their… Continue Reading →
I really thought I had Dark Age sussed by the end of the first two tracks. Two rather decent tracks of what anyone now over the age of 25 would dub Gothic Metal (before lazy P.R. Types and journos used… Continue Reading →
