Mystic Circle – Erzdämon (Fireflash Records)

These German diabolists have had a long running career stretching right back to 1992 but there have been many deviations down the left hand path disrupting their Infernal Satanic Verses. With a revolving door line up seeing almost 20 musicians… Continue Reading →

Anarkhon – Obiasot Dwybat Ptnotun (Debemur Morti)

“Eight eerily hypnotic death metal nightmares” is how the label describes this album. Being Brazilian, I did check to see if the title of this album means anything in Portuguese but it doesn’t. The answer lies in the world of… Continue Reading →

Raksar, Satyagraha, Sick and Majura – Soundmaker Studios, George Town, Penang, Malaysia, 11/2/23

I only found out about this concert the day before as a result of a chance enquiry so my research into the bands I didn’t know about was therefore extremely limited. Whether research before live concerts is a good thing… Continue Reading →

Søstre – S/T (Loyal Blood Records)

Indulging in “dark melodic grooves … with the odd detour via psychedelic and stoneresque landscapes”, this five year old experimental black n roll band from Bergen in Norway delves into matters like the human condition and states of mind. Let’s… Continue Reading →

Litost – Pathos (Blood Fire Death)

The Collins dictionary defines the Czech word ‘Litost’ as ‘a state of agony and torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery’……Cheerful stuff indeed, but actually it is the perfect moniker for this Spanish outfit who create a… Continue Reading →

Ulfud – Of Existential Distortion (Dark Descent)

It always amazes me that such an isolated and harsh country such as Iceland, with a population of around three hundred and fifty thousand or so, can produce so many extreme Metal bands. Obviously there is a great deal of… Continue Reading →

Night Demon – Outsider (Century Media)

This is the US trio’s third album, along the way I have seen this band grow in stature considerably. During the pandemic, they released a multitude of 7-inch singles that were compiled into a CD release. Thus, ‘Outsider’ represents 8… Continue Reading →

Minenwerfer – Feuerwalze (Osmose)

As with the recent album by Sarcoptes this one starts with a shrill blast of a whistle signifying troops going over the top of the trenches before descending into an absolute ‘swathe of fire.’ USBM duo Generalfeldmarschall Kriegshammer and Wachtmeister… Continue Reading →

Depraved Murder – Unethical Terrestrial Collapse (Comatose Music)

I’ve reviewed a fair few Comatose Music releases over the years and if one thing is resolute about the label it’s that you can rely on hearing some of the most brutal extreme releases that death metal has to offer… Continue Reading →

L’Ira Del Baccano – Cosmic Evoked Potentials (Subsound Records)

Time, or at least the way we perceive it as passing, can be a strange old thing, and it’s something I’ve particularly noticed when listening to music. Sometimes it can seem to drag, indicating something is an unwelcome slog to… Continue Reading →

Suicide Silence – Remember…You Must Die (Century Media)

It seems like a lifetime ago that I sat down to listen to Suicide Silence, and it happened to be at the behest of this esteemed closet of pain and boils that manifests itself as Ave Noctum, to sit in… Continue Reading →

Unfelled – Pall Of Endless Perdition (Season Of Mist)

Yes, it is actually a real word and Unfelled refers to trees that have not been cut down. Sticking with that subject this project was originally conceived by musician D of highly regarded Australian outfit Woods Of Desolation. Expanding the… Continue Reading →
