Hex – Behold The Unlighted (Vertebrae)

When it comes to Death/Doom there are really only two questions. Does it Doom? Does it Death? Luckily when Bilbao’s Hex are put to this particular Spanish inquisition the answer is a resounding YES on both counts. This E.P. is only three… Continue Reading →

Slægt – Goddess (Century Media)

This is the fourth album by the Danish quartet, which was formed just over a decade ago, with their debut appearing to have been completely in Danish and from what I’m reading a black metal album at that. While ‘Goddess’… Continue Reading →

Frostmoon Eclipse – Rustworn (Immortal Frost Productions)

Not to be confused with the German act also bearing this moniker, this long running and enduring Italian black metal band has been around for more than two decades and have probably never received the recognition they so richly and… Continue Reading →

Without Waves – Comedian (Prosthetic Records)

This band have me all kind of messed up. Not messed up, in a hungover kind of way with a blinder behind the eyes, a plant pot full of sick and a stolen traffic light blinking at you like a… Continue Reading →

Knight and Gallow – For Honor and Bloodshed (No Remorse)

Californian epic/traditional metal band formed in 2019 and came to my attention with loose association to Keep It True festival forums (the album was mastered by Bart Gabriel). So hence, you rather expect what is coming from this release. As… Continue Reading →

Nanna Barslev – Lysbaerer (By Norse)

Nanna Barslev is a neofolk musician from Denmark active since the 1990s and known as the front women of bands Huldre, Asynje, Gny and Ættir. While performing mostly as a vocalist, she is also an accomplished instrumentalist for various traditional… Continue Reading →

Soulcarrion – Infernal Agony (Godz Ov War)

This debut album by Polish act Soulcarrion seems to have appeared from nowhere, in fact information is scant except that the band is comprised of Greg and Michał plus a session vocalist Sibila who resides in Vishurddha. Added to that… Continue Reading →

As The World Dies – Agonist (Transcending Obscurity)

The quality control at Transcending Obscurity continues to be of high value, as we come to this first album from Birmingham’s progressive death metallers, “As the World Dies”. Certainly, lead guitarist Scott Fairfax is going to be a familiar name… Continue Reading →

New Model Army & Zen Baseball Bat – Holmfirth Picturedrome 18/3/22

“We are old, we are young, we are in this together” and Holmfirth certainly united as one solid front to come out and see New Model Army tonight. The floor of the Picturedrome was accented with a respectable number of… Continue Reading →

MWWB – The Harvest (New Heavy Sounds)

Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, now known as MWWB, have beaten odds to come back with album number four, “The Harvest”. Recorded during the pandemic, the release has been delayed after guitarist, Paul Michael “Dave” Davies suffered a life threatening stroke…. Continue Reading →

Friends of Hell – Friends of Hell (Rise Above)

Taz Danozoglou has a great pedigree and it surprised me that he seemed to be musically quiet for so long. Obviously he is known as a renowned tattooist and his time in Electric Wizard but I really really dug Satan’s Wrath whose “Galloping Blasphemy“… Continue Reading →

Gorebringer – Terrified Beyond Measure (Great Dane)

Everything about this from the band name, to the cover art and track titles screams out Brutal Death Metal but that is not quite what we get here. This UK act led by Kaz “Stench”B (guitars/bass) & Serpent (Vocals) along… Continue Reading →
