Sijjin – Sumerian Promises (Sepulchral Voice Records)

This bands name gave me pause to do some checking into it, I’ve no idea why, but on investigation it appears the name is of Arabic origin and there are potentially a number of interpretations but what seems to be… Continue Reading →

Arde – Ancestral Cult (Wolves Of Hades)

Nature loving Black Metal from Germany for fans of Wolves in the Throne Room and Fen. Well I love nature (the satanic thing is tiresome after a while \m/ ) and I also like to give the aforementioned bands a spin every now and… Continue Reading →

Monument Of Misanthropy – Unterweger (Transcending Obscurity)

Both the last album, ‘Anger Mismanagement’ and their last release, an EP titled ‘Capital Punisher’ were textbook demonstrations in clinical pummelling death metal with a slight tech edging. There has been a wholesale change in the line-up for the band… Continue Reading →

Le Chant Noir – La Société Satanique Des Poètes Morts (Personal Records)

Theatrical, gothic but most definitely black metal. Le Chant Noir could have been written as an alternative soundtrack to Interview With A Vampire; maybe a biopic of the life and times of Dracula or else piped through the halls of… Continue Reading →

Dauþuz – Vom Schwarzen Schmied (Amor Fati)

Further carving out the “mining black metal” niche for themselves, prolific German duo Dauþuz return with their fourth full length album in five years, having squeezed a couple of EPs into this timeframe too. Continuing to eschew traditional black metal… Continue Reading →

Wonders – The Fragments Of Wonder (Limb Music)

From the mere mention of Limb Music, anyone who is familiar with the genre can hazard a guess that Wonders’ debut will have something to do with Melodic/Progressive/Power Metal to varying degrees, but maybe before we get into that there… Continue Reading →

Esoteric, Necronautical & Vehement – London Underworld 13/11/21

First night out in Camden since pre-plague and despite the normal seething madness of the place things are strangely different around the market areas. Although not having the time to explore as beer was calling and more important it is… Continue Reading →

Whitechapel – Kin (Metal Blade)

Deathcore has reared its head again and boy, is this one vicious and aggressive head to raise. Tennessee’s own Whitechapel are ready to batter and bludgeon with this, their eighth full length effort, ‘Kin’. Whitechapel are somewhat uber giants in… Continue Reading →

Gaahls Wyrd – The Humming Mountain (Season of Mist)

In the world of extreme music, there are few people as infamous or notorious as Kristian Eivind Espedal, aka Gaahl. He is perhaps best known for his time with Norwegian Black Metal outfit Gorgoroth, but he has also served time… Continue Reading →

The Osiris Club – The Green Chapel (No Profit Recordings)

The Osiris Club is a band I feel I ought to know something about. They’re from London, I’ve seen their name many times and I know they’re prog-orientated with other old-style strings to their bow, as it were. In fact… Continue Reading →

Cystectomy – Deprive To Hollowness (Comatose)

Slam has evolved so much in the time I’ve been a fan. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall and eventual amalgamation and borderline acceptance of Deathcore. I’ve seen Slam go from a silly little genre into a worldwide household Metal… Continue Reading →

Apostle of Solitude – Until The Darkness Goes (Cruz del Sur)

It’s fair to say that for many reasons the last couple of years have been a real pisser with pretty much all but essential trade and businesses prevented from carrying on, and there only now being a slow return to… Continue Reading →
