Dysgnostic – Scar Echoes (Transcending Obscurity)

Formally known as Defilementory, Danish Dissonant Death Metal troupe Dysgnostic have unleashed a new eight track album entitled ‘Scar Echoes’ through uber-prolific Indian label Transcending Obscurity Records. This marks the trio’s debut album under this guise and sees the band… Continue Reading →

Exessus – Asynapse (S/R)

Over the years of writing here I have noticed that I seem to be drawn towards many of the Spanish thrash and death metal acts who we have brought to our attention. A trend I have picked up on is… Continue Reading →

Ingested – Ashes Lie Still (Metal Blade)

Manchester or Slamchester as it is known in slam death circles saw the arrival of Ingested in about 2006 and since then they have churned out a number of fine death metal albums and in some respects spearheaded the whole… Continue Reading →

Iron Flesh – Limb After Limb (War Anthem Records)

I had forgotten that I covered the last album by this French outfit ‘Summoning The Putrid’ a couple of years ago. That’s hardly surprising when you think of just how many “Irons” there are in the heavy metal fire; let’s… Continue Reading →

Norrsköld – Prisma Aeternus (S/R)

‘Deriving from the cold forests of Sweden……’ states the press release, and that was enough for me to stop reading and put my hand up for the review, relishing the thought of some grim Scandinavian black metal. I should have… Continue Reading →

Chaos over Cosmos – A Dream If There Ever Was One (S/R)

I had the pleasure of reviewing Chaos over Cosmos’s 2021 album “The Silver Lining Between the Stars” and what an exciting album that was. It is, to say the least, an adventurous work which was awash with technical and progressive… Continue Reading →

Darkthrone – Astral Fortress (Peaceville)

Few bands elicit more of a buzz when it comes to a new release than Darkthrone, a band who truly needs no introduction. ‘Astral Fortress’ follows on from last years ‘Eternal Hails…’ and continues Fenriz and Nocturno Culto’s long running… Continue Reading →

Exhumed – To The Dead (Relapse)

Incredible really to think that the fetid gentlemen from Exhumed have been plying their wares since 1990. Since that time, of course, they’ve had a lot of line-up changes, including members past and present from bands like Impaled, Intronaut and… Continue Reading →

Timor Et Tremor – Realm Of Ashes (Trollzorn)

Ah, another ‘band I’ve been aware of but not really engaged with’ time. Fear and Trembling (so says Google) and apparently pagan black metal. My experience of Trollzorn bands is that they dont tend to sign yer actual bestial bm… Continue Reading →

Subseconds – Liminal Rain (S/R)

This EP comes from the same Finnish artist Sergei whose evocative and intensely vibrant EP “Chameleon Wasteland” I reviewed 3 years ago in his guise of Tørrential. The artist makes much of transcending genres, and I can vouch for that… Continue Reading →

Disillusion – Ayam (Prophecy Productions)

Where on earth do you begin with this fourth album from Germany’s Disillusion, a band I saw earlier this year supporting Obscura and reviewed which you can read about here. The band teased us with a few songs from this… Continue Reading →

Black Anvil – Regenesis (Season Of Mist)

The last couple of Black Anvil albums had a mixed reception here, that’s not all that surprising and I think the comment that ‘There are too many disparate and conflicting elements” in regard to last one ‘As Was’ kind of… Continue Reading →
