Abramelin – Sins Of Thy Father (Hammerheart Records)

I think I am probably one of the few people outside of Australia that has seen this band live, having witnessed their devastating show at Metal For Melbourne in 2017 when I visited the country in January of that year…. Continue Reading →

Ars Veneficium – The Lurking Shadow Of Death (Immortal Frost Productions)

There’s something fetid in the fields of Flanders as Belgian iconoclasts Ars Veneficium dig up their third album and successor to 2020 release ‘Usurpation Of The Seven.’ Founding members S and Ronarg have this time been joined by Flo Musil… Continue Reading →

Thrasherwolf – Inside The Sickened Mind (Vicious Witch Records)

Adorior – Bleed On My Teeth (Dark Descent)

It always surprises me when I come across some 90s bands I’ve never heard of and such is the case with Adorior. I kept seeing them pop up on gig posters and people being excited for them and I assumed… Continue Reading →

Calcarata – Der müde Mensch (Naturmacht)

Atmospheric black metal with a psychological and even psychedelic touch is what’s being offered here. The duo behind are responsible for other black metal projects including Vargsblod and Goat Sabbath, but why there was a need to create another one… Continue Reading →

God Dethroned – The Judas Paradox (Reigning Phoenix Music)

The immense God Dethroned are back and this time with their twelfth full length release, and it is a beast. ‘The Judas Paradox’ opens with its namesake and title track, the marathon of the album and a horde of melodies… Continue Reading →

Psychlona – Warped Vision (Magnetic Eye Records)
