CD, MP3 and Demo reviews

Masterstroke – Broken (Dynamic Arts Records)

It’s always a good sign when you play a record and immediately put it on again when it’s finished. That’s what happened here, and not merely as a reviewer’s obligation. It’s not that this album is especially original or unique…. Continue Reading →

Morodh / People Are Mechanisms – Lost In Life (Three Rooks)

A new UK black metal label here, always nice to see, and their first release is this split between two Russian depressive black metal bands. It’s a neatly turned out disc with two tracks each from the bands. There also… Continue Reading →

Out Of Decay – Arising Of Lost Soul (SR)

Ah like a nagging child repeatedly asking are we there yet or can I please, go on can I please, metalcore resolutely remains a force within metal and like said nagging child we might want it to shut up or… Continue Reading →

Darkthrone – Hate Them (Peaceville)

As we celebrate the news that Darkthrone are poised to release album number 15 ‘The Underground Resistance’ in February 2013 it is time to once more dip into their back catalogue which has been exhaustively reissued by label Peaceville. ‘Hate… Continue Reading →

Paganizer – Carve: Stillborn Revelations and Revel In Human Flesh (Vic Records)

Welcome to the school of Rogganology where you can indulge in the writings and death metal ideology of the one and only Roger “Rogga” Johansson who currently is involved with 15 active bands, six past bands and four guest appearances… Continue Reading →

Endezzma – Erotik Nekrosis (Agonia)

So what gets your goat the most? Is it po-faced black metal bands who serve their Lord Master Satan with true dedication and are adherents of the much revered left hand path of never mentioned shubanagadingdong cult, or those who… Continue Reading →

Adrift – Black Heart Bleeds Black (Alone Records)

Adrift seems to be a common band name. This is the one from Spain. For me this was a case of a blank canvas as I’d not heard of them. The plus of that of course is that there are… Continue Reading →

Necroverdose – Off (Great Dane Records)

I can give a hefty list of French death metal bands that would clean annihilate most of their planet wide counterparts for sheer brutality and uncompromising ferocity. One look at the gore typeface used on the album’s title and on… Continue Reading →

Aura Noir – Dreams Like Deserts (Peaceville)

It must be that time of year I have four reissues that I’m currently reviewing and all are albums that have to some point either been missing in my life or are boosted with tracks that have not seen the… Continue Reading →

Vomitor – The Escalation (Hells Headbangers)

Firstly, if you like Vomitor, just buy this already. They still sound like Vomitor so you’ll be happy as pigs in shit. But wait! Some people haven’t heard them! Well I shall guide you to the light… er dark and……. Continue Reading →

Terrorama – Genocide (To The Death Records)

Having the head honcho from I Hate Records should create something special within an extreme metal band and this Swedish group’s third album certainly does that and more. Entitling it “Genocide” is probably the most worthy album to be given… Continue Reading →

Paradox – Tales of The Weird (AFM Records)

25 years ago Paradox released their debut called “Product Of Imagination” and at the time they gained a big foothold onto the thrash scene that was set in concrete once they unleashed “Heresy” in 1989 and still is arguably their… Continue Reading →
