Avandra – Prodigal (Layered Reality)

Ironically, Progressive Metal bands can be some of the least progressive units out there – in the truest sense of the term. Take Dream Theater, their fans buy their albums because they know what to expect, which isn’t truly progressive… Continue Reading →

Abyssic – Brought Forth in Iniquity (Osmose)

This is the third album by the Finnish quintet that was formed 25 years ago by Memnoch. It consists of five songs, with an average length of over 10 minutes, which does work rather well for the style of music… Continue Reading →

THEM – Fear City ( Steamhammer/SPV)

It’s 1981. Over 120 years ago the warlock K. K. Fossor and the witchfinder Peter Thompson did battle in the town of Hemmersmoor and we were left in a situation where Fossor had managed to resurrect his daughter but it… Continue Reading →

Threshold – Dividing Lines (Nuclear Blast)

Melodic, progressive or whatever you want to call them band Threshold now hit us with their twelfth album release. I knew about them but really picked up on them mid-way through with their 2007 album “Dead Reckoning”, which is as… Continue Reading →

Hellfuck – Diabolic Slaughter (Godz ov War)

This is Teutonic Thrash from Poland with a heavy slice of Kreator, Sodom and early Slayer influence. The imagery may have them pigeonholed into a more blackened sub-genre, however, musically they are much more proficient, being seasoned musicians from many… Continue Reading →

Haavard — Haavard (Prophecy Productions)

Although Haavard may be a new name to us, its mastermind and legacy will certainly be familiar through his other ventures. You see, Håvard Jørgensen, who is the main man for Haavard, was a key member of Ulver until 2001… Continue Reading →

Nile, Krisiun, In Element, Decrepid – Manchester Rebellion 7/11/22

For a grateful change the trip over the Pennines to Manchester was significantly less fraught resulting in arriving perfectly just after doors opened at 6PM, (door times seem to get earlier and earlier these days) to check out the merch,… Continue Reading →

Dream Unending – Song of Salvation (20 Buck Spin)

Justin DeTore (Vestal Claret, Solemn Lament) and Derrick Vella, (Tomb Mold, Outer Heaven) known collectively as Dream Unending, have released their sophomoric album ‘Song of Salvation’ which has just been released on all formats by US label 20 Buck Spin…. Continue Reading →

Witchunter – Metal Dream (Dying Victims)

This is the third release from an Italian band whom I have not heard from since their debut. Influence is taken heavily from the NWoBHM scene and traditional metal from Europe. ‘Devil Preacher’ has a powerful Witch Cross/NWoBHM influence, whilst… Continue Reading →

Eradicate – Demise Towards The Daesin (Godz Ov War)

This is the first recorded output from Turkish band Eradicate and there’s not a huge amount to go on with it being just over 12-minutes long including an intro piece. Essentially rescued from demo obscurity and published on CD by… Continue Reading →

The Birthday Massacre – London Garage 12/11/22

Delayed for two years, it seems The Birthday Massacre have had a good jaunt around the UK selling out both London shows at the beginning and end of it. This is the last night and there’s a whopping queue already… Continue Reading →
