I have followed this Vancouver based band on an online music platform and have been waiting for the full length album to be unleashed since first hearing the ‘From Hell’ demo. The time is now. Maule are a traditional metal… Continue Reading →
OK I am going to start the review of Arctic Plateau’s third full length album with the caveat that I feel a little duped into reviewing it by the PR blurb which promised post-rock/shoe gaze for fans of The Cure and Alcest. I gotta admit… Continue Reading →
For some reason the Finnish black metal scene has always held something above other black metal scenes in other countries, I am not quite sure what it is that attracts me to the bands from the frosty country but one… Continue Reading →
Taking their name from a Latin quote attributed to Cicero and the theme of this album from Mesopotamian mythology and the epic odyssey of Gilgamesh it is obvious that this German based outfit have an interest in history and ancient… Continue Reading →

Back in 2020 my ears were pummelled by the split Megalith Levitation did with fellow Russkies Dekonstructor and it served as a great stop gap after the previous year’s debut long player Acid Doom Rites. The trio have been mining the Ural Mountains once more to construct giant slabs… Continue Reading →
Hardly a new name to me, these Australian monsters having been around since about 2004, but the first time I’ve actually tangled with them. Opening with the charming, fly buzzing intro to ‘Death To Pigs’ the album squeals and winds… Continue Reading →
