Déhà – Decadanse (LADLO)

It seems somewhat negligent on our behalf not having seemed to have covered a Déhà release in the past. Since 2018 this Belgian whose real name is Olmo Lipani has well over 40 releases to his name, the majority of… Continue Reading →

Volturian – Red Dragon (Scarlet Records)

I have a hell of a lot of respect and admiration for guitarist and songwriter Frederico Mondelli. In only a few short years he has showcased immense musical expertise in all his varied Metal projects, and done this with immeasurable… Continue Reading →

Casket Feeder – Servants of Violence (S/R)

They may be a smidgeon of bias that often creeps in when an album that’s up before the beak, hails from our own fair island of green and pleasant land and whilst it would be appropriation on a humungous scale… Continue Reading →

OPHE – Somnium Nocte Mendaciis (My Kingdom Music)

When you start mentioning the likes of Dødheimsgard, Blut aus Nord, Anorexia Nervosa and Manes as clues, this album can only have one direction. For sure, OPHE won’t stand for Office of Public Health Education, that is unless we’re being… Continue Reading →

Jo Quail – The Cartographer (By Norse)

Jo Quail doesn’t do things by half, and here she has raised the already high bar even higher with her most ambitious work so far. By way of a quick introduction Jo has been mesmerising crowds for several years now… Continue Reading →

Symphonity – Marco Polo: The Metal Soundtrack (Limb Music)

Yes, the title has me worried, but any cynicism and derision which some reviewers could be accused of (OK, I’m not exactly excluding myself here either) should be banned for the rest of this review. Symphonity are deadly serious, and… Continue Reading →

Invocator – Excursion Demise / Weave The Apocalypse (Hammerheart)

Hammerheart have done a great job re-issuing the early back catalogue of Danish technical Thrash metal band Invocator. The band’s debut Excursion Demise was originally released in 1991. I always found this release to be at the tipping point of… Continue Reading →

The Howling Chaos – Obsecration (S/R)

Although a new name, the band members of The Howling Chaos have done the rounds in the world of death and black and extremely brutal metal. No doubt there’s plenty of blood and gore in there. One of the band… Continue Reading →

Famyne – Famyne II: The Ground Below (Svart Records)

Before I commence with the review for the new work by Canterbury’s finest five piece, there are several questions I need to ask. Do you like Doom? Do you prefer to listen to whole albums rather than disposable single track… Continue Reading →

Cauchemar – Rosa Mystica (Temple of Mystery)

This is the third full length from this well-known Canadian band. There are the expected doom influences and a lot of traditional metal too. The label and band are fans of Pagan Altar, so expect some influences to shine through… Continue Reading →

Simulacre / Archvile King – Split (LADLO)

You can always rely on Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions to unearth new and interesting bands from France and here we have just that, with a CD taking in 2, 4 track EP’s released together on a split album. Although… Continue Reading →

The Gates – …Of Pandemonium (Northern Silence Productions)

“Magik Metal” isn’t a genre or term I’m familiar with but apparently this is what The Gates specialises in. Comprised of Galigula on vocals and King Baal who does all the instrumentation, they deliver occult infused tunes that are heavy… Continue Reading →
