Dead Chasm – Dead Chasm (FDA Records)

Horrifying Italian death metal is on offer here, courtesy of a trio of musicians whose self-titled debut EP is situated firmly in the sewerage side of slimy death metal. With three original tracks and a cover tune this is a… Continue Reading →

Vanir – Sagas (Mighty Music)

Obviously, The Danes know a fair bit about Vikings, so it stands to reason that Denmark’s very own Vanir would know their way around a Viking Metal album. And so they should, this is after all their sixth studio album,… Continue Reading →

Kuolemanlaakso – Kuusumu (Svart Records)

8 years since their last album and 6 since ‘The Gothic Tapes’, this shall be their third album. It’s also a concept album with the subject matter being the 10-year winter that started in 535, including the bubonic plague that… Continue Reading →

Phalanx Inferno / Melek-Tha – Order Of Eternal Indifference (Godz Ov War)

Interesting bedfellows on this split album. On the one hand we have a death metal band from the USA and on the other a dark ambient industrial artist from France. So, we get a mix here from brutal and horrifying… Continue Reading →

Blood Incantation – Timewave Zero (Century Media)

I’ve most likely touched on it many times before but music for sleep is very important to me. I love putting on Post-Rock, Ambient and even Noise to sleep to, it soothes my soul and means that I can get… Continue Reading →

Vio-Lence – Let the World Burn (Metal Blade)

‘Eternal Nightmare’ and ‘Frolic Through The Park’ were my first foray into Bay Area thrash and still easily in my favourite albums list. Perhaps owing to nostalgia, but also because I really enjoyed them. I could bore or regale you… Continue Reading →

Slob – Deepwoods Shack of Sodomy (Comatose Music)

Before I begin, I must make my apologies. My usual sense of bonhomie seems to have abandoned ship this morning, as I slink off to the shed at the bottom of the garden and begin to try and make sense… Continue Reading →

Last Piss Before Death – LPBD (Raging Planet)

Portugal has churned out some great thrash acts over the past 20 years. Amongst the bands in this wave, Prayers Of Sanity, Revolution Within and Switchtense have offered us some fine thrash assaults which have had a good variety of… Continue Reading →

Sanhedrin – Lights On (Metal Blade)

Nothing brings more satisfaction to a music nerd than following a band from their beginnings, perceiving their potential, and then seeing them rise and succeed. Sanhedrin is such a band for me. I came across them by pure chance, having… Continue Reading →

Sylvaine – Nova (Season Of Mist)

Sylvaine has quietly crept upon the underground music community building her reputation on solid musicianship and jaw dropping live performances. ‘Nova’ is the Norwegian vocalist and multi instrumentalist’s 4th album and it is a real gem. Built around Kathrine’s impressive vocal… Continue Reading →

Troglodyte – The Hierarchical Ecological Succession: Welcome To The Food Chain (Blood Blast)

I’m a sucker for gimmicks and the paranormal / weird, so the band we’re talking about today tick a lot of boxes for me. Basically, I probably know more about totally useless UFO history than I do real world history…. Continue Reading →

Crowbar – Zero and Below (MNRK)

For no less than 32 years now Kirk Windstein has been leading Crowbar into battle, armed with a sonic arsenal of weaponised riffs that can crush concrete into dust. As such, when their impending twelfth album ‘Zero and Below’ arrived… Continue Reading →
