Sol Kia – Zos Ethos (I, Voidhanger)

This is heady stuff and music that necessitates the lighting of incense to smother the air with fragrance and thick cloying plumes of smoke. Sol Kia are comprised of two Belgian ritualists Stephane Van Tricht who is responsible for vocals… Continue Reading →

Sermon of Flames – I Have Seen the Light, and It was Repulsive (I, Voidhanger)

OK so as I write this I have succumbed to the plague. Covid has caught me in its putrefying clutches and I am quarantined and feeling like poop in a scoop. What is needed? Well, the rulebooks say plenty of fluids, rest and vitamin… Continue Reading →

Thecodontion and Vessel of Iniquity – The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event (I,Voidhanger)

Whilst there is no shortage of concept albums around right now dealing with the extinction of mankind due to viral and ecological effects this split EP sees two bands joining together and going right back in time to approximately 251.9… Continue Reading →

TRNA – Istok (Candlelight)

Istok is a place “of great nothingness where you find peace”, while the album is the journey to get there. This is the Russian trio’s fourth album release. Dreamy “celestial blackgaze”, post black-metal …. whatever the description may be, it’s… Continue Reading →

Hellcrash – Krvcifix Invertor (Dying Victims Productions)

This is a debut release from SpeedSlayerVenom worshipping Hellcrash from Italy. Originally this came out on another label in February, Dying Victims bring you the vinyl and digital assault. Of course, evil is everywhere, its natural based on the name,… Continue Reading →

Beyond Grace – Our Kingdom Undone (Prosthetic)

Jo Quail – Corporation, Sheffield 28/9/21

This was a fairly last-minute gig, that my shooter suggested we attend, plus it was free entry as part of the Sheffield Music Trails event that was taking place at various venues across the city. Added to that this was… Continue Reading →

Antediluvian – The Divine Punishment (Nuclear War Now! Productions)

Relocated to Austria, Canadian act Antediluvian have a fairly extensive discography with a raft of splits and EPs, but previously only two other full lengths as they land a sonic scourge on the Earth with their third album. If you… Continue Reading →

Regen Graves – Climax (Pariah Child / Yoshiwara Collective)

I really enjoyed last album ‘Herbslicht’ by Italian maestro Regen Graves. If his name is familiar to you this is probably due to recordings in the stratosphere of doom with the likes of Tony Tears and Abysmal Grief. When working… Continue Reading →

Nunslaughter – Red is the Color of Ripping Death (Hells Headbangers)

I have to admit something here, and it doesn’t do my already tenuous ‘metal’ credibility any good, that for a band that have been around since the mid to late 80’s, Nunslaughter are a band I have never…. ever heard… Continue Reading →

Ninkharsag, Ante-Inferno and Burial – Satan’s Hollow, Manchester 27/8/21

My first club gig in about 18 months couldn’t have got started with a better line-up, but like the ridiculous journey I had to the Lake District for the Northern Darkness Festival it seems the traffic Gods brought down to… Continue Reading →

Hour of 13 – Black Magick Rites (Shadow Kingdom Records)

In the world of underground music that Ave Noctum makes its lair, there are any number of one-man bands, frequently in the niche corners of black metal, living in the basements of their parents whilst screaming evilly into a microphone… Continue Reading →
