CD, MP3 and Demo reviews

Deathhammer – Onward to the Pits (Hells Headbangers Records)

These Norwegian’s took my breath away a while back when they performed at the first Live Evil festival in London. Yes ok, it can be said that they first shot into the limelight living off a Fenriz (Darkthrone) band of… Continue Reading →

Impiety-Ravage and Conquer (Pulverized Records)

The Godfather (or should that be Goatfather) of black metal is back. Yes…Yes… the mighty Impiety are back with a new album, Ravage and Conquer, (their 8th album to be exact!) released through Pulverized Records. For the ‘un-informed’, Impiety are… Continue Reading →

Aura Noir – Out To Die (Indie)

Well, just after talking about the reissue of album number two on these very pages the self professed ‘ugliest band in the world’ (who obviously have not checked out The Pogues lately) are back with their brand new release; number… Continue Reading →

Lullacry – Where Angels Fear (Scarlet Records)

Ah, press releases I love you. According to them with Finnish rockers Lullacry you get gothic metal (well they wear black and I guess there is a bit of musical eyeliner showing) and symphonic metal (there is a bit of… Continue Reading →

The Way Of Purity – Biteback EP (Wormholedeath)

This unusual and mysterious band seem to have courted controversy since their inception, espousing a highly unique and slightly impenetrable philosophy in which God, nature, animals, good and evil seem to be the same thing (although I may have misunderstood… Continue Reading →

Ebonillumini & Worms Of Sabnock – Split EP (Diptera Records)

This split EP, which is actually a full 45 minutes long sees the return of two underground UK acts who are intertwined on the same family tree with branches further enveloping the infamous Meads Of Asphodel. Ebonillumini have been somewhat… Continue Reading →

Autopsy – All Tomorrow’s Funerals (Peaceville)

Another awesome digi-pack release from everyone’s favourite masters of madness and gore?! Killer! So what do we have here… three tracks of new material, along with all the sold-out EPs (including the recent Tomb Within) re-mastered by the band? Interesting…… Continue Reading →

Weird Fate – The Collapse Of All That Has Been (Cold Dimensions)

The buzz surrounding Weird Fate has been intense since their appearance on a split with the already well-established and well regarded Membaris, at which point the general consensus was that as good as Membaris are, Weird Fate completely blew them… Continue Reading →

Latexxx Teens – Adrenochrome Redux (Deathwatch Asia)

The fact that site editor Luci and I both got an email with subject header Latexxx Teens and she immediately deleted it and I immediately opened it speaks for itself. It was not grubby spam as I expected but actually… Continue Reading →

3 Inches of Blood – Long Live Heavy Metal (Century Media)

They cannot be serious. “Long Live Heavy Metal” has to be the most trite album title I’ve ever seen. Is it a wind-up, a 1970s K-Tel re-release or a genuine belief, I asked myself. I had to find out so… Continue Reading →

Apothesary – A Harsh Reality (Itchy Metal Entertainment)

Californian thrashers ‘Apothesary’ were formed in 2009 and in the same year released their first EP “The Unthinking Masses’ then in 2010 they released another EP. In 2011 a demo called “The Hollywood Tapes” was released.  Three years in and… Continue Reading →

Munruthel – The Dark Saga (Blazing Productions)

Well this Dutch label have been very quiet of late and have apparently changed their mindset a bit releasing music focusing less on metal and more on ambient and synthesized based music. In the last year or so they have… Continue Reading →
