This is a US band playing straight up metal with one of the most frustrating opening tunes ever! Instead of giving you the “metal” straight away, the first track ‘Will The Light Come’ begins like a ballad and takes a… Continue Reading →
Ereb Altor is the Viking Metal side project from members of Doomsters Isole (or it could be the other way round depending on your musical preference). This is actually their fourth full length album from the band that takes it’s… Continue Reading →
In the world of psychedelic and imaginative progressive rock, King Bathmat reigns supreme. That was the conclusion I reached after listening to “Truth Button”. Now, 6 months later, this English quartet is back with “Overcoming the Monster”. The monster, to… Continue Reading →
Third studio album from Dallas ‘stonegaze’ trio, True Widow, is a bit of a mouthful – ‘Circumambulation’ – meaning to move around a sacred object or idol is the perfect title when considering the lustrous sound this opus encompasses. The… Continue Reading →
This is one very welcome reissue as far as I am concerned as it is the only album from Ukrainian one man act Munruthel that has so far escaped me. The first album I heard was the successor to this… Continue Reading →

I’m pretty sure there was some weird curse over this CD which was trying to prevent me from reviewing it. First the disc refused to play in three of my CD players, then my laptop crapped out, then a speaker… Continue Reading →
In days gone by I would have bought this Witches Mark on the strength of the diabolically cheesy album art that adorns it. You’ll see what I mean when you see it. That aside I was expecting an album of… Continue Reading →
Japanese doom/death metal you say? Count me in! I tried to research this band but information on them is like gold dust… However, they have been making music since back in 1995, an impressive 6 album releases before this one… Continue Reading →
