Dødsdrift – Ødnis (Vendetta Records)

Quickly following up on debut 2019 self-released album Weltenszission, Dødsdrift are a relatively new outfit hailing from Northern Germany we are told. From here things are sketchy as the 5 figures standing hoodied-up with their backs to us prefer to… Continue Reading →

Deviant Process – Nurture (Season of Mist)

Every now and then, a decent progressive technical band from Canada pops up in my life, and here we have Deviant Process from Québec. “The container is more important than the contents”, proclaims the guitarist. I like that. With tech… Continue Reading →

Liktjern – I Ruiner (Folter Records)

Norwegian act Liktjern, whose name I think translates as Mortuary or to that effect, have not had it easy. Despite being in existence since the mid-90s the band only released one EP, ‘Kulde, Pest & Død’, and that came in… Continue Reading →

Reaping Asmodeia – Darkened Infinity (Prosthetic Records)

This album is a “thematic quest for transcendence” is about the “consequence of being”, so plenty to get our teeth into there. Reaping Asmodeia isn’t a band I knew about previously but I have established that they have been in… Continue Reading →

Light of the Morning Star – Charnel Noir (Debemur Morti)

“Music for night hours and sanguine addictions”   I’ll be honest those words send shivers down my spine for all the wrong reasons. I spent some time amongst the Vampire fans of London in the 90’s in the middle of the… Continue Reading →

Misanthur – Ephemeris (Season Of Mist)

Although around since 2013 with a couple of demos and a split to their name this is the debut album from Polish duo Misanthur. Helmed by Hellscythe and Draugr they must be doing something right to end up releasing it… Continue Reading →

Full of Hell – Garden of Burning Apparitions (Relapse Records)

Never a band to shy away from experimentation, Full of Hell’s 12 year trajectory is littered with collaborations with the likes of Nails, Merzbow and The Body, each one leaving behind their influence which can be heard on subsequent releases…. Continue Reading →

Wreche – All My Dreams Come True (I, Voidhanger)

I suspect this won’t be the longest review ever, but not because there’s nothing to say. Just because it really turns out to be one of those albums you probably should hear. So here I am to pique your interest…. Continue Reading →

Atrae Bilis – Apexapien (20 Buck Spin)

Canada has had its fair share of death metal bands, when you think about it. Atrae Bilis are the newest ones to hit my ears, with the Vancouver based four piece having formed back in 2018, with one EP to… Continue Reading →

Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields (Argonauta Records)

Greetings fellow retroanauts.  Are you ready to swing your flares to the unashamedly back in time sounds of Wooden Fields?  Do you believe every t-shirt you wear should be both “tied” and “dyed”?  If the answer is “yes”, well grab… Continue Reading →

Nahemia, Vehement & Decimated Cross – Aatma, Manchester 8/10/21

  As the nights are drawing in and gigs are steamrolling with much warranted frequency, I found myself in the back streets of Manchester, sourcing out an infamous back alley on which Aatma resides. As it is a new venue… Continue Reading →

Blood Red Throne – Imperial Congregation (Nuclear Blast)

In terms of death metal, Blood Red Throne are an absolute juggernaut and I’m sure I don’t need to introduce many of you, if any of you at all, to these behemoths. I will however, very happily, introduce you to… Continue Reading →
