Funeral Mist – Deiform (NoEvDia)

This arrived like a hammer-bolt from the blue, tail end of the year, no fucks given about getting on any of those pesky album of year lists and at a time when nobody except kvlt labels and black metal edge-lords… Continue Reading →

CMPT – Krv I Pepeo (Osmose)

This here is the debut album from the anonymous entity that is the Serbian CPMT, apparently pronounced SMRT and which translates as Death in most Slavic languages. Lesson over. With a cover that is very much the continuation of their… Continue Reading →

Portugal may have their very own Rogga Johansson (Sweden) in the making, as Paulo M. Soares, whose project this is, has been involved in a raft of other acts, mostly in the death metal fold, within the Portuguese extreme metal… Continue Reading →

TodoMal – Ultracrepidarian (The Vinyl Division)

It’s “all wrong” or “all evil” as far as TodoMal, a duo from Castilla-La Mancha in Spain are concerned. Living in a region famed for Don Quixote “a placid and depressing desolate wasteland” and one described as being in ‘uninhabited… Continue Reading →

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving – Deaden the Fields (Bird’s Robe)

Funeral – Praesentialis in Aeternum (Season of Mist)

Entering their third decade of existence now, and having released their debut 26 years ago, Funeral’s sixth album is their first with Season of Mist. and while they have had a line-up change since recording the album, I’m going to… Continue Reading →

Black Hill Cove – Broken (Raging Planet)
