The Foreshadowing – New Wave Order (Lifeforce Records)

A dark, rain soaked landscape stretches forebodingly into the hazy distance. The grey clouds hang heavy over the mists of dank depression, a smog of broken dreams and lost hope. The perfect landscape for a soundtrack of melancholic Gothic Doom… Continue Reading →

Gorebringer – Condemned To Suffer (Great Dane)

Formed in London in 2017 and having two records out previous to their new release ‘Condemned To Suffer’, Gorebringer is a name I am not familiar with and doing my obligatory background checking to find out a bit more about… Continue Reading →

Molder – Catastrophic Reconfiguration (Prosthetic Records)

Having formed back in 2017 I feel obliged to lump Molder into this new wave of Death Metal resurgence we’ve seen. Something which at one end has bands like Gatecreeper pushing the genre ever more mainstream and at the other… Continue Reading →

Time Lurker – Emprise (LADLO Productions)

It’s been a while since we heard from Time Lurker and multi-instrumentalist Mick. The last release was a split EP with Cepheide in 2019 but now he is back from journeying through the space time continuum with second album ‘Emprise’…. Continue Reading →

Dark Tranquillity, Moonspell, Wolfheart & Hiraes – Islington Academy 5/11/24

First on are German group Hiraes all of the musicians from whom sprung out of Dawn Of Disease after they called it a day back in 2020. With two albums to their name including most recent ‘Dominant’ they may not… Continue Reading →

Grylle – Egrotants, Souffreteux, Cacochymes, Covidards (Antiq)

Time to dip into a world of “plague, diseases, and strange afflictions” and although centred musically via the format of medieval sound, the narrative here is linked to the present satirically and more recent viral concerns. The members of these… Continue Reading →

Rarog’g – Homo ad Fundum (S/R)

The description of this is “Polish black metal”, and everything about the packaging of CD that came to enable this review speaks “black metal”. Rarog’g has been around for 20 years, during which time they have released three albums including… Continue Reading →

Paysage D’Hiver – Die Berge (Kunsthall Produktionen)

Sometimes I wonder why I make things so hard for myself as a reviewer, other times I know. It’s the latter case here, really. Paysage D’Hiver are a name that has been on my peripheral vision for three or four… Continue Reading →

Shrykull – Beyond Subconscious Realms – Road To Masochist / Eggy Tapes

I have stated before in reviews on this estimable site that I believe music and the enjoyment of it is situational. In the same way the fact that you arrive home in your beaten up car at midnight after a… Continue Reading →

Abschwörzunge – Whorl (I, Voidhanger)

Not much info seems to be available on this new project although we are informed it is an international entity. The rather long word of their name seems to translate to “Slur” and narratively here we are dealing with themes… Continue Reading →
