Serpent Ascending – Hyperborean Folklore (I, Voidhanger Records)

You’d be hard pressed to find one-man project as effective and soul destroying as Jarno Nurmi’s Serpent Ascending who has also had his hands in other acts such as Slugathor, Desecresy and Nowen. With countless bands having the Serpent prefix… Continue Reading →

Kreator – Hate Über Alles (Nuclear Blast)

Fifteen albums for Mille, fourteen for Ventor, six for Sami, the first with new bassist Frédéric Leclercq, who has already been with the band for 3 years now but has a long way to go to catch up with Christian… Continue Reading →

White Ward – False Light (Debemur Morti)

Since forever the universe has been trying to teach us about the concept of interconnectedness, that what affects one person, one town, one region, one country, will sooner or later affect everybody else on the planet. Depending on your worldview,… Continue Reading →

DFC – Decadent Perversity (Transcending Obscurity)

Australia has a reputation of sorts of being brutal, be it the fact everything on the continent is trying to actively kill you in some way and its people have a rather blunt sense of humour which pulls no punches…. Continue Reading →

Werewolves – From the Cave to the Grave (Prosthetic)

Let me get this straight from the get go. I have always been a fan of werewolves, as in lycanthropes. When it comes to folklore and myths there is something about a curse turning a man or woman into a hairy bloodthirsty… Continue Reading →

Fallen Sanctuary – Terranova (AFM)

Fallen Sanctuary are a brand new and much anticipated Melodic Symphonic Power Metal band formed by, and featuring the twin vocal approach of Georg Neuhauser (Serenity, Warkings, Phantasma etc) and guitarist/vocalist Marco Pastorino (Temperance, Virtual Symmetry, Wonders etc), who developed… Continue Reading →

Liber Null – For Whom is the Night (Immortal Frost)

There’s a bit of Italy and a bit of the Netherlands in this band but either way it comes down to searing black metal. This album is the follow up to “I-Serpent” which was released in 2016. Frenzied explosions, grunts,… Continue Reading →

Akkadian, Past the Fall, Beyond Your Design and Drip Fed Empire – Portland Arms, Cambridge 19/6/22

Four bands from different UK cities came here tonight for our enjoyment and hopefully theirs. Now here’s a random thought: why is it that so many modern metal bands based in the UK have names with three words? We have… Continue Reading →

Ornæmental Shine – Deima Panikon (I, Voidhanger)

The search for esoteric and divine knowledge is full of pitfalls and is more likely to lead to madness than true enlightenment. Basically, this is a very shortened summation of new artists Ornæmental Shine are focusing their narrative on. Just… Continue Reading →

Exanimatvm – Sollvm Ipsa Mor (Pulverised Records)

This is the second album by this Chilean band and I was promised abyssic hellhounds, ritual, fervent darkness, mystifying song structures, unease, dread and occultic (?) death metal. So, with hopes of waves of weirdness similar to The Axis Of… Continue Reading →

Esoteric, Consecration & Lysergene – London Boston Arms 18/6/22

Loads of good shows on tonight and as I discovered getting through Wembley some that are far from on our radar. Finding out it was Harry Styles that a massive throng of colourful youngsters were about to subject themselves to,… Continue Reading →
