If like me you have been sitting there attempting to pronounce this bands name and letting it roll off your tongue you probably also want to know its meaning. Well the name translates as roughly ‘Mystic Mountain’ and alludes to… Continue Reading →
The legend that is Beherit… an untouchable entity with an original debut album, namely ‘Oath of Black Blood,’ an unmatched slice of BM brilliance. None who has truly listened to the record can question this… except the band themselves. The… Continue Reading →
I take a lot of the Australian black metal acts very seriously. It is almost as though they are trying not to be discovered and remain hidden from the public eye, making the music for themselves rather than anyone else…. Continue Reading →
The thing that really bugs me about this reissue is that it is Dodheimsgard’s last album, originally out in 2007 and they have not done anything new since it came out. I have no problems with it being put out… Continue Reading →

I have been lucky enough to have had a really good run of extraordinary albums to review recently: Luck of the draw and one case of pathetic wheedling. But they do kind of put things into sharp relief, particularly when… Continue Reading →
Hailing from Norway, Tombstones refer to their music as Norweedian Doom which doesn’t give you much of a clue to quite how dark and dirty they are actually prepared to get. They are purveyors of chillingly doomy, stoner-riddled sludge. They… Continue Reading →
