Recueil Morbide – Only Hate Left (Great Dane Records)

They say never judge a book by its cover (amongst other things). In the case of `Only Hate Left’, the fourth album by French death metal pummelists, any snap judgements you might make on glancing at the cover will only… Continue Reading →

Scars On Murmansk – Into Dead Lights (Great Dane Records)

Upon reading the name of this band for the first time, I immediately lost myself in a minor frenzy of World War Two related excitement. Surely the ‘scars’ on Murmansk involved would be those inflicted upon this unfortunate Russian city… Continue Reading →

Project Pain – I Have Sinned (F.A. Records)

Thrash metal. This style can mostly be split into Good thrash metal and bad thrash metal…with a few variations in between. I mean, when you get an album like this in the post you know not to expect anything groundbreaking,… Continue Reading →

Hummune – Crafted In Darkness

Formed in 2009, Southampton’s Hummune, a conglomerate force made up of former members of the bands Older Than Dirt, Kill-Joy, Dissentient Revolt and Parade Of Enemies, have just released their debut long-player, Crafted In Darkness, and it sounds like it… Continue Reading →

Tarja – Act 1 (Earmusic)

Recorded over two nights at the El Circulo Theatre in Rosario, Argentina in March 2012 what we have here is a first live double album from ex Nightwish singer soprano Tarja Turunen. It has also been released on a double… Continue Reading →

Fozzy – Skin And Bones (Century Media)

Hello. My name is Kirsten and I am a Jericholic. Just in case you don’t already know, Chris Jericho, the lead singer of Fozzy, successfully combines his role as rock god with that of a multi time belt holder in… Continue Reading →

Exsequor – For the Fallen (SR)

This one man black metal outfit that is Exsequor is very clear about his music and purpose. He reveals that he is interested in Medieval history and his influences are Bathory, Satyricon, Primordial and Emperor. I actually sensed the strains… Continue Reading →

Suicide Commando – Attention Whore (Out Of Line)

Attention Whore! Sorry must stop talking to our readers like that. Nope in all seriousness what we have here is a new and apparently strictly limited single from Belgium EBM outfit Suicide Commando. Of course being of the electro persuasion… Continue Reading →

Wisdom – Judas (Noiseart Records)

Hungarian power metallers Wisdom released “Judas” in mid 2011 through Soundholic but it has been picked up by Noiseart for another release in late August, which I found strange. Questioning a power metal mate about the band, he was familiar… Continue Reading →

Khold – Morke Gravers Kammer (Peaceville)

This is the third album to be reissued from Khold, having originally come out in 2004. Having only discovered them last year when I ended up with the debut two album reissues to review, I found myself surprisingly drawn in… Continue Reading →

Deiphago – Satan Alpha Omega (Hells Headbangers)

Who could have seen this coming? Album number three sees everyone’s favourite Filipino Antichrist’s changing tack, discovering God and playing Christian rock! Yes of course I’m talking out my hat, their tried and tested brand of Satanic Bestial Metal was… Continue Reading →

Trollfest – Brumlebassen (NoiseArt)

Ah, there we are. A beautiful clearing in the forest. The perfect woodland scene, a lilting, delicate sylvan song in the hazy air. Fresh air, beauty. Happy inebriated trolls enjoying the sights and the sounds of nature as they play…. Continue Reading →
