Signs Of Truth – Signs Of A Future (Boersma Records)

2022 welcomes the debut release from five-piece Swedish Metal band Signs Of Truth. Expanding on the tag a little, they are nearer a Melodic Heavy Metal Band, with Hard Rock moments, but delivered with a Swedish tradition that goes back… Continue Reading →

Inferno Festival – Rockefeller and John Dee, Oslo Norway 15/4/22

After a late breakfast, a stroll around Oslo and a cheeky pint, I headed to the intimate Rock In venue to catch Norwegian black metal outfit Ulvehyrde. They appeared on the small stage stage doused in blue light, wearing robes… Continue Reading →

Epitaphe – II (Aesthetic Death)

It’s nice when those little surprises pay off. As a teenager blind buying was commonplace for me, now in the digital age and with a wealth of Metal knowledge (if I do say so myself) there isn’t much I’m surprised… Continue Reading →

Disfuneral – Blood Red Tentacle (Redefining Darkness)

Death metal and tentacles; a match made in…er… Somewhere I don’t want to visit. Archaic death metal, this French band are, apparently, though and it’s their first album clocking in at a death metal commendable 30 odd minutes which promises… Continue Reading →

Could it really be three years since the last Inferno Festival? The last instalment had been in 2019 and of course COVID had intervened for 2020 and 2021, but at last it was time for the Inferno faithful to descend… Continue Reading →

Crisix – Full HD (Listenable)

Opening up the release, “The Many Licit Paths” has a brief atmospheric opening loaded with exotic flair which quickly transitions into full on riffing. Powerful with its impact, the tumultuous wall of riffs and commanding vocal snarls hits like a… Continue Reading →

Corpsessed – Succumb To Rot (Dark Descent)

Sometimes I think that modern Death Metal, like standard Death Metal can be a bit boring. It’s kind of like replicating something which already blew up in a less exciting fashion. Similar to the modern Thrash boom that appeared spearheaded… Continue Reading →

Archgoat – All Christianity Ends (Debemur Morti)

Opening track, ‘Ascension Towards The Promethean Fire’, begins with the bells tolling and then launches into raw demonic dirty black metal. It is calculated and measured and is as polished as it is maniacal and vile. The vocals from Lord… Continue Reading →

Wasting The Genesis – Prey (S/R)

Four tracks of blended deathcore and death metal from Spanish act Wasting The Genesis who already have an EP and full length available. There is nothing here that makes you think WTG are different to a wealth of other deathcore… Continue Reading →
