Vaultwraith- Decomposing Spells (Hell’s Headbangers)

Ah, Vaultwraith. My favourite trve kvlt metal genre mixed up with my least favourite (only because power metal does not even figure on the chart). I expected this to be less groovy and more epic. Perhaps, my perception has been… Continue Reading →

Paranoia Inducta – Demon’s Factory (Heerwegen Tod Production)

I do like getting odd things in the post with no accompanying explanation about them and at first I thought I had been sent a film here as it is presented in a DVD style case. On further exploration I… Continue Reading →

Runemagick – Beyond the Cenotaph of Mankind (Hammerheart)

A new Runemagick album is always a source of great pleasure for me. One of the most prolific, yet still obscure bands since the turn of the century, the masters of dread atmosphere have been plying their wares since the… Continue Reading →

Elvenking – Reader Of The Runes – Rapture (AFM)

Part One of Elvenking’s Reader Of The Runes Trilogy emerged in 2019, with the knowing stride and confident swagger of a Metal band who are happy with who they are and where they’re going. You’ve got to be confident in… Continue Reading →

Lunar Chamber – Shambhallic Vibrations (20 Buck Spin)

It’s a bold choice, to say the least, to give your debut album a name that could so easily be read as “Shambolic Vibrations”, whether that misreading be by accident or design. Other brave choices include the blurb in the… Continue Reading →

Argenthorns – The Ravening (Avantgarde Music)

Oh man. That’s it, that’s the review. In all seriousness, I don’t know what else to add. This is a perfect album. You want more? Sure, let me see. Creepy synths? Check. Perfectly shrieky vocals enmeshed with cavernous soliloquys? Check… Continue Reading →

Tanith – Voyage (Metal Blade)

One thing that has kept me and many other metalheads into metal for the best part of our lives is how the world appeals to those who never lost their childhood sense of adventure. And because of that, it is… Continue Reading →

The Medea Project – Reflections (Trepanation Recordings)

Third EP (plus one full length) from this Nottingham via South Africa band who, after one listen of this I can genuinely say are a different prospect. Very. Five tracks including three covers (more of which later), twenty five minutes… Continue Reading →

Numeron – Road to Valhalla (Meuse Music / Tragedy Productions)

I don’t know so much about the Indonesian music scene but what I do know is that there are a vast number of bands, most of whom people don’t know about. Post and atmospheric black metal is Numeron’s chosen style…. Continue Reading →

Austere – Corrosion Of Hearts (Prophecy)

When Austere last laid down like old ashes back in 2009 many may have thought the winds had carried them off to scatter over the scorched Australian hinterlands forevermore. Yet despite calling it a day after that album, Mitchell ‘Desolate’… Continue Reading →

Graveworm – Killing Innocence (AFM Records)

30 years on from forming, Graveworm now release their ninth album. My time of listening to this band was in the 00s with the releases of “Engraved in Black” (2003) and (N)utopia (2005), both of which form part of my… Continue Reading →

Fatuous Rump – I Am At Your Disposal (Brutal Mind)

Well I walked into this with eyes wide open. Don’t care what any PR spin says, this is slam. Pure and simple. Hell I’ve even listened to this bunch of Taiwanese sickos before as the only actual slam fan I’d… Continue Reading →
