BloodBox – Post Human Disorder (Headwound Recordingz)

Breakbeat Grindcore? Sounds like a subgenre that would have got Earache chomping at the bit in the early noughties when they were getting excited over Gabber and everything electronic. Bloodbox was born out of NZ Death Metallers Vext in 1999 when CyZERNOBrG and Megalith X moved to Ireland via… Continue Reading →

Christian Death & Ghost Dance – London Underworld 31/8/22

A mix of all ages queue outside the Underworld and there has been plenty of effort made with face paint and make-up looking very colourful this evening. It was difficult to gauge who exactly everyone was here for, Valor and… Continue Reading →

And Now The Owls Are Smiling – Epitaph (Clobber Records)

The owls have been beaming their strange and disturbing smile at us now for five years and by chance, luck, or providence I have been with them since their debut album Desolation. I have seen this curiously monikered project of… Continue Reading →

Hexis – Aeternum (Debemur Morti)

A prolific live band, self-styled blackened hardcore warriors Hexis here are releasing their third full-length album. Prepare for dark heaviness. The opening song “Letum” has a surprisingly pleasing flow. It’s a bit straight line, which seems to be the recurrent… Continue Reading →

Phase IV – Phase IV (Moribund)

I have just done a bit of geeking on Star Trek pages to see what the effects are of setting phasers on level 4 and anything after 3 which is meant to stun for an hour is pretty deadly. “Heat… Continue Reading →

Hierophant – Death Siege (Season Of Mist)

This is the Italian band with this moniker as I know there are a few others knocking about as the four-piece unleash their fifth and utterly barbaric new album. The intense opening intro ‘Mortem Aeternam’ sets the scene superbly, building… Continue Reading →

Αuriferous Flame – The Great Mist Within (True Cult Records)

Greek multi-instrumentalist Ayloss is a busy chap, already well known for his work with Spectral Lore and Mystras among many other projects, his flame burns bright. Here he has a brand new project and one where his intention is to… Continue Reading →

Mad Max – Wings Of Time (Rock Of Angels Records)

Mad Max might have taken their name from the iconic film of the same, but they’ve been around as a band for almost as long! This German Melodic Metal band’s debut sneaked out way back in 1982, but their best… Continue Reading →

Ebola Syndrome – Herman Yau (Vinegar Syndrome / 88 Films)

It’s been an interesting week on the Blu-ray announcement front. Well-done to 88 Films for pulling off the miraculous and somehow getting Ebola Syndrome through the BBFC, which has to be one of the most unexpected releases EVER passed by… Continue Reading →

Lacrimas Profundere – How to Shroud Yourself with Night (SPV / Steamhammer)

The album title and, for those with a GCSE in Latin, the band title will give you the clues here. This is a renowned band in dark metal circles, having been plying its trade for almost 30 years. “How to… Continue Reading →

Spirit Adrift – 20 Centuries Gone (Century Media)

The covers album…they’re strange things. For me they spark an interest, not just for the way a band covers a song but the actual song selection. Obvious classic tracks or a deeper cut? Stay true to the original or put… Continue Reading →

Infinity Dream – Memories (Metal Assault)

This is the debut release from melodic metal band Infinity Dream. A band that features two Widow (North Carolina) members, namely Chris Bennett and John Wooten, an ex-Widow member in drummer Marc Antony and vocalist Dina Altum. This time around,… Continue Reading →
