`Godless’ is the second, filth-covered, nasty, crusty old-school, death metal album from these surprisingly fresh faced and modern looking Danes. This eight-track opus has `old’ written all over it. The production is so authentic you can almost hear the dust… Continue Reading →
UK band Deceptor are it’s fair to say pretty old school heavy metal/thrash. No death metal here, just galloping rhythms and neck-break leads with occasional soaring vocals. And vocoder interludes. And songs about war, science fiction and so on. See?… Continue Reading →
So cutting your stomach open and performing ritual suicide for the sky! Well it’s an interesting name adopted by this duo from Austria (and there are already four called Seppuku) so what of the actual music on this debut album?… Continue Reading →
In the same way that Tool redefine musical boundaries and structures, so do Minutian from Finland. ”Repercussions” matches the claim they make to have an unusual angle on progressive music. What is remarkable is that it is their debut album…. Continue Reading →
The progressive scene in Poland is very interesting. Spearheaded by Riverside and supported by excellent bands like Votum and Acute, here’s another one. In fact Disperse draw influence from Cynic, Dream Theater and Pink Floyd with this, their second album…. Continue Reading →

Firstly being advocate of the English language it annoys the hell out of me when I see words like saviour, colour etc spelt without the ‘u’; crikey it really annoys me in fact. Be that as it may I will… Continue Reading →
Oh, I love me some punk n’ roll. It’s so gritty and groovy and grimy and great. If you’re not moshing, you’re dancing, and if you’re not dancing you’re drinking! Throw in a viciously roared vocal and I’m in seventh… Continue Reading →
Corsair are one of those almost defiantly not modern metal bands who wander out of the US in particular now and then; a rock band who hark back to the days when Thin Lizzy were the heaviest thing on the… Continue Reading →
Ancient VVisdom are a band whose reputation is certainly as dark as their music; their debut release ‘Inner Earth’ was a split with the infamous Charles Manson before they exploded onto the scene in 2011 with their first full length… Continue Reading →
