Norwegian overlords, Aeturnus return with a killer album and a new line up. It’s a splendid mix of classic Scandinavian Death Metal with melodic touches and provides a crushingly heavy and dark work for those who still love the classical… Continue Reading →
No Consequence have seemingly named new album IO after one of Jupiter’s moons, yet judging by the kind of lyrical content Kaan Tasan (now handling all vocal duties) blasts out here, he might be able to suggest a less-obvious interpretation…. Continue Reading →
Montreal maestros Beyond Creation’s album actually came out in 2011, has seen one subsequent self financed reissue which ultimately clinched a deal with French label Season Of Mist (what took you so long guys) whose roster reads as a who’s… Continue Reading →
“We want the music to make you feel like you can move mountains with it”. So says one of the members of The Moth Gatherer. Patient build-ups, crashing worlds and five long tracks to explore these works put them in… Continue Reading →

Csejthe is the name of that infamous castle where Elizabeth Bathory worked, played and lived and if that is not enough to both give you an idea on musical style here and curdle your blood into the process, I don’t… Continue Reading →
2013’s Apnoe sees Germany’s Todtgelichter take further strides away from their Black Metal roots of a few years ago. Continuing the trend of the band’s 2010 Angst CD, but pushing things further, there is very little on here that could… Continue Reading →
“Age is not and will not ever be a handicap”. From this old crock to the young men of Apothesary, it’s good to hear it. Decapitated were doing it at the age of 14. These old men from the US,… Continue Reading →
