Anachronism – Meanders (Avantgarde)

This album is painted as one of contrasts, with dissonance, technical and brutal death metal, jazz and prog thrown in. This is the album from this band who released their first in 2012. And indeed the first song is called… Continue Reading →

Nemesism – Nemesism (Independent)

A debut mini-album from this brutal death metal act that comprises some current and ex-members of Guttural Secrete and Cerebral Incubation. Knowing that should give you an indication as to the bludgeoning sonic horror held within the five songs here… Continue Reading →

Lumen Ad Mortem – Upon the Edge of Darkness (Bitter Loss Records)

Australian Black Metal with strong Norse influences and a strong interest in the epic sagas of Scandinavia; that is the modus operandi of Adelaide triumvirate Lumen Ad Mortem. Following a 2019 demo release, the LAM trio have returned with a… Continue Reading →

Bizarrekult – Den Tapten Krigen (Season Of Mist)

Loners are nothing unusual in Black Metal and its various sub-genres, on the contrary. As a multi-instrumentalist, as someone who does everything on his own, Roman V., mastermind of Bizarrekult, doesn’t stand out. But there are one-man bands and one-man… Continue Reading →

Ablaze My Sorrow – The Loss of All Hope (Black Lion Records)

Swedish melodic death metal band Ablaze My Sorrow seem to have a rather odd history, releasing a string of albums in the late 90’s and early 2000’s then disbanding in 2006. They then reformed and released another album in 2016… Continue Reading →

Iron Void – IV (Shadow Kingdom Records)

It’s been a while since I have had the pleasure of committing to the ether, my thoughts, feelings and hyperbolic cliches with the world regarding some lovely new music. It’s always a pleasure never a chore as we see in… Continue Reading →

Nine Altars – The Eternal Penance (Good Mourning / Journey’s End)

I don’t know if it’s just me but I have the sneaking suspicion that true doom (or traditional if you like) is doing its phoenix act again and rising from a death like slumber to avoid association with other sub-genres… Continue Reading →

Seer Of The Void – Mantra Monolith (Venerate Industries)

Crawling out of the depths of Greek doom in 2019, Seer Of The Void made an early impression with debut LP “Revenant” in 2020. “Mantra Monolith” is the new offering and finds the trio continuing to explore those classic, dense… Continue Reading →

… And Oceans – As In Temples, So In Tombs (Season Of Mist)

Don’t you just hate it when you start to get into a band who have a fairly long career path and they promptly split up. That is exactly what happened to me with Finns …And Oceans when I got caught… Continue Reading →

Sorrowful Land – Faded Anchors Of The Past (Black Lion Records)

This is the third album by the multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Max Molodtsov from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Formed 9 years ago, this single person doom metal album was recorded between 2018 and 2022, with the aid of a handful of guest vocalists… Continue Reading →

Mordhell – Satanic Wombs (Fallen Temple)

Since 2003 a sickening plague has been sweeping across Europe, a plague hailing from Poznan in Poland. And that pestilential entity is heathen Black Metal horde Mordhell, who towards the end of last year shat out their fourth full length… Continue Reading →

Vahrzaw – In the Shallows of a Starlit Lake (Bitter Loss)

“Maximum speed. Minimum fuss”. And a lot of blackened death if I remember their previous work rightly. Vahrzaw is a band with a 30-year pedigree so has had plenty of time to fine-tune its soundscapes. The title of this album… Continue Reading →
