Old Forest – Sutwyke (Soulseller Records)

I’m going to have to be honest here and embarrass myself in public; I love black metal and have a genuine soft spot for the unique UK variety. I have been aware of Old Forest since…well actually probably since their… Continue Reading →

Lotan – Lotan (UPRISING! Records)

After a couple of well received and critically acclaimed EP’s Lotan are now ready to unleash their first full length, self-titled spawn, and it is a prime example of how to execute Melodic Black N’ Roll with an aggressive tinge…. Continue Reading →

Demonstealer – The Propaganda Machine (Black Lion)

The Demonstealer, whom we shall come back to shortly, has been a band since 1998, but has also been producing released records since 2008, and so by any measure has been in the game a long time. Turns out that… Continue Reading →

Cruachan – The Living and The Dead (Despotz Records)

I guess it’s probably appropriate that I started listening to this on Friday the 17th of March… It’s been 12 years since I reviewed ‘Blood on the Black Robe’, and there were 2 other albums released between that and this… Continue Reading →

Allfather – A Violent Truth (Trepanation)

This Medway group are quite a brutal bunch of souls; their live outings have been energetic and heavy as hell. This is their latest release, but if you are not conversant, than their motto is “beards, metal, F*ck You”. This… Continue Reading →

Outlaw – Reaching Beyond Assiah (AOP Records)

Damn, there’s so much black metal around fighting for attention at the moment it’s impossible to keep up. Not only that, it seems that even those that I have been unfamiliar with have been of consistent high quality recently and… Continue Reading →

Tilintetgjort – In Death I Shall Arise (Dark Essence)

Tilintetgjort are a new Norwegian black metal band from Oslo and this here is their debut album. A few brief moments of listening online before getting the album gave the impression that it was, potentially…er…nuts. So ‘Kvikksolvdrommer’ beginning with a… Continue Reading →

Autumn Tears – Guardian of the Pale (The Circle Music)

Many, many years ago, when I was still young and daft enough to go all over the Midlands for gigs and make mad dashes for last trains/trams/buses etc, I saw Korpiklaani play JB’s in Dudley. There were nine of Korpiklaani… Continue Reading →

Grieve – Wolves Of The Northern Moon (Werewolf Records)

It looks like the nails I hammered into the coffin of this Finnish band’s first and supposedly only full length were premature as the duo of V-Khaoz and Werwolf of Vargrav and Satanic Warmaster respectively, to name just one notable… Continue Reading →

Verminous Serpent – The Malign Covenant (Amor Fati Productions)

I volunteered to review this malevolent creature essentially on the basis that it featured none other than A.A.Nemthegea on vocals and bass, and I am a big fan of his output. I really had no idea what else the band… Continue Reading →

Kommand – Death Age (20 Buck Spin)

As the world spins on a precipice and the Doomsday Clock sits at 90 seconds to Midnight, “a time of unprecedented danger” LA based quintet Kommand have holed up in their underground bunker working on the follow up 2020 Maggot… Continue Reading →

Vredensdal – Sonic Devotion to Darkness (Soulseller Records)

To this point, if you’d asked me to say what I knew about Green Bay, Wisconsin, I’d have said cheese, American football and cold weather. I now know that Vredensdal come from this city. The title of this, their fourth… Continue Reading →
