Lunar Tombfields – The Eternal Harvest (LADLO)

If you follow the releases on this French label then you know it has garnered a reputation for unveiling top-quality black metal over the last decade and none more so than Lunar Tombfields with a debut of scintillating atmospheric black… Continue Reading →

Glasya – Attarghan (Scarlet records)

Portuguese six-piece Glasya are a self-proclaimed “Soundtrack Metal” band, a concept I haven’t quite came across before as a description of what to expect from the music a band will offer. To break this down, you can describe the sound… Continue Reading →

Archvile King – À la ruine (LADLO)

A debut album from this revolting, regal French musician going by the name of Baurus. His debut EP ‘Vile’ of a couple of years ago may have passed you by but if not, you would no doubt have been struck… Continue Reading →

Whales Don’t Fly – The Golden Sea (Raging Planet)

Looking at the stories which go with the 9 tracks of this nicely packaged album, it seemed to be about a pilgrimage or spiritual journey. The opening Oriental style spoken piece does nothing to deflect this impression. But whilst dreams… Continue Reading →

Hrast – Beyond The Ethereal Horizon (Wolfsgrimm Records)

I adore the atmospheric black metal sub-genre, it captivates me with its soaring hauntingly driven melodies and Germany has long been a hotbed for this genre in my book, with a raft of quality acts emerging from there. Adding to… Continue Reading →

The Last Of Lucy – Moksha (Transcending Obscurity)

My love for Tech Death has certainly dwindled in the last year or so, I still love the genre but I don’t care about it like I once did. I’m basically far more critical of the genre now. However, this… Continue Reading →

Bunuel – Killers Like Us (Profound Lore)

There’s a lot to unpick here when dissecting this, the third album from Bunuel, a supergroup of sorts from the malcontent, the ostracised, the damaged, the put upon, the depressed, the outliers, the three percent, the curious, the avant-garde and… Continue Reading →

Nightrage – Abyss Rising (Despotz Records)

Sometimes it is nice to simply press play on an album and get exactly what you expected, no gimmicks, no trends, just a good old energetic thrashing from start to finish. Nightrage led through thick and thin by Marios Iliopoulos… Continue Reading →

Black Altar / Vulture Lord – Deathiah Manifesto (Odium Records)

Deathiah Manifesto is both the coming together of Polish Black Metal stalwarts Black Altar and Norwegian Black thrash pioneers Vulture Lord but also a labour of love marking a tribute to the European underground. Offering up four tracks each, the bands have managed to concoct… Continue Reading →

Arjen Anthony Lucassen’s Star One – Revel In Time (Inside Out Music)

Anyone who knows the name Arjen Anthony Lucassen, will be familiar with his many Ayreon projects as well as their slightly more Metal, Sci-fi obsessed younger brother Star One. Having released two albums previously under the Star One banner utilising… Continue Reading →

Once Human – Scar Weaver (earMUSIC)

This is the third album by the LA-based quintet and while I’ve seen the video clips that accompanied the first two, this is the first album I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. Formed 8 years ago with guitarist Logan… Continue Reading →

Night Cobra – Dawn of the Serpent (High Roller)

This US band are relatively fresh of the blocks from Texas, their traditional metal approach has been well received of late, and I personally sport a lot of their merchandise. So with this, their debut, it’s quite a thrill to… Continue Reading →
