Whilst embracing these ‘Hymns Of Reverse Darkness’ I went looking for further illumination on these whipped angels assuming as they were on Hellthrasher Productions that they were Polish. Wrong straight away as it would appear that Flagellated Seraph come from… Continue Reading →
Post hardcore from a band that has been a forerunner of the genre for nearly a decade now. This is The Chariot’s fifth album and from what I garner from a bit of research the band throws musical curveballs on… Continue Reading →
I really enjoyed this bands second album ‘The Ark of Gemini’, but this latest effort, their third, takes India’s Kryptos to a completely different level. By this I mean that the bar has been raised significantly since switching to AFM… Continue Reading →
Has it been worth the wait for Sweden’s Witchcraft, put on hold since 2007 after the release of the amazing “The Alchemist” album? A lot can happen in five years and Witchcraft has not gone unscathed with original founder Magnus… Continue Reading →

And so, the much-awaited final instalment in Blut Aus Nord’s ambitious ‘777’ triptych has finally arrived and hotly anticipated it has been chez-Allain. I’d felt for some time now that the band had been treading water a little since 2004’s… Continue Reading →
I think it’s safe to say that US band Hellwell like reading horror literature and pulp fiction. It’s also safe to say that Manilla Road fans will be hugely interested in this three piece as it is, basically, a Mark… Continue Reading →
Mexican black metal? Yeah I thought so, I was a little stumped thinking of examples too? It is not the place that one would first think of as being synonymous with the genre. Of course there are bands fromSouth Americawho… Continue Reading →
My immediate reaction on hearing this album, the second by Hell United, is that it is the essence of Polish blackened death metal. It has all the qualities – all-enveloping, heavy, dark, relentless and technical. No quarter is given. “Red… Continue Reading →
