Häxanu – Totenpass (Amor Fati)

Debut album ‘Snare Of All Salvation’ certainly created an impact when it arrived from out of nowhere back in 2020 and obviously as soon as its follow up landed in my inbox I was keen to get stuck into it…. Continue Reading →

Limbes – Ecluse (LADLO)

It has been a while since a band made me sit up and pay attention as much as Limbes’ latest release did. There I was expecting a polished, melodic atmospheric black metal album, but instead I had my face ripped… Continue Reading →

Rexoria – Imperial Dawn (Black Lodge)

Swedish Melodic Heavy Metal band Rexoria are actually no strangers to the scene. With a consistent line-up since their inception back in 2016 “Imperial Dawn” is their third release on three different record labels. Each album has seen the band… Continue Reading →

Elderseer – Drown in the Shallowness (Meuse Music)

Five years on from their debut offering, a demo entitled ‘Bind Us As One’, UK Melodic Death/Doom quartet Elderseer have finally returned to us, and with a debut full length offering in tow no less. Entitled ‘Drowned in the Shallowness’,… Continue Reading →

ACOD – Cryptic Curse (LADLO)

Well, I am again “cursing” at the “cryptic” nature of this French act. I mean, ACOD is a fish by any other name but what does it mean? The adopted moniker does not seem to translate, initialise with anything in… Continue Reading →

Memoriam – Rise to Power (Reaper Entertainment)

Are Memoriam the hardest working British Death Metal band? You’d be hard pressed to find a band who have been quite so industrious with their release schedule, with this – their fifth album in six years, and coming just less… Continue Reading →

Kringa – All Stillborn Fires, Lick My Heart (Van Records / Terratur Possessions)

This curiously titled work comes from Kringa, a band which has been around for 13 years and which has now released two full albums along with some eps and demos. Essentially a black metal band, one thing which comes across… Continue Reading →

Fvnerals – Let The Earth Be Silent (Prophecy)

Drab, bleak and moody it may have been but I really enjoyed last album ‘Wounds’ from this duo comprising of (along with guest drummer) Tiffany Ström and Syd Scarlet. Either they like travelling or can never particularly settle as they… Continue Reading →

Die Oberherren – Die By My Hand (Svart Records)

The word “Goth” conjures up certain images for the rock community. Mopey, white faced corner dwellers. Glow stick wielding tubular hair arm dancers or Hot Topic adorned emo kids. What happened to the tongue in cheek, chicken dancing, dusty dancefloor hoofers? We are still… Continue Reading →

Pariah Lord – Vultures (Boersma Records)

One second. As starts to reviews go, that’s a new one even for me. So, what does that “one second” mean? How long until I turned it off? Hell no. How long until I knew what was coming for the… Continue Reading →

King Kraken – MCLXXX (S/R)

The year MCLXXX (1180 AD) was the first recorded instance of a sighting of the colossus of the deep – the Kraken. This imposing cephalopod which rules the deep has captivated humanity for centuries and many worship it… And rightly… Continue Reading →

Incendium III Festival – Manchester, Rebellion 21/1/23

First major gig for me in 2023, unless you count seeing British Lion with Steve Harris in Huddersfield as major as well, depending on your point of view. My shooter and I decided to get the train over so we… Continue Reading →
