Behind Closed Doors – Caged in Helices (My Redemption Records)

A trio of European instrumentalists comprise Behind Closed Doors. Add some strings, “ferocious heaviness as well as delicate tenderness” and that’s the recipe for this album. A mournful violin dirge is interrupted by an explosive djenty section. It’s an interesting… Continue Reading →

Sede Vacante – Conium (Scarlet Records)

Inhuman Depravity – The Experimendead (Gruesome Records)

Riot City – Electric Elite (No Remorse)

This Canadian band hold a special place in metal history for me. Their ‘Livin’ Fast’ demo tape and the following ‘Burn the Night’ debut album are both fantastic. This was also the last band I saw in London before the… Continue Reading →
