Qrixkuor – Poison Palinopsia (Invictus Productions)

Watch out, there’s an unspeakable multidimensional being about, as blackened metal occultists Qrixkuor press the ‘downward spiral’ button on the controls and into the gnostic depths of hopeless but glorious terror in this first full length. After a couple of… Continue Reading →

Transport League – Kaiserschnitt (Mighty Music)

Swedish groove outfit Transport League are back in action once again after the madness of the pandemic has subsided to a degree and it looks like they are trying to get their momentum back to where it was before everything… Continue Reading →

Primordial, Saor, Hellripper, Fen & The Infernal Sea – London Garage 29/8/21

At last, it’s great to be back and about bloody time. Some Dutch courage no doubt helped those of us still not 100% certain about shedding the masks and dispensing with the social distancing, which totally went out the window… Continue Reading →

Thyrfing – Vanagandr (Despotz Records)

Anyone that dismisses Viking metal as risible has obviously never heard Thyrfing. Heavy as granite and as animated as an English monastery the day the dragon ships arrive on the nearby shore, these Swedes combine some very recognisable pagan metal… Continue Reading →

Windfaerer – Breaths Of Elder Dawns (Avantgarde)

Among other things this US based quintet’s 4th album looks at the ever-increasing possibility of our planet’s destruction along with “shattered illusions and longing for the numbing comfort of death.” Yay happy music time. Seriously though it’s not worth getting… Continue Reading →

Osi And The Jupiter – Stave (Eisenwald)

I’m sure most of us reading Ave Noctum spend a lot of our time listening to some of the most brutal and extreme music out there, but if we are honest, we will also listen to something a little different… Continue Reading →

Thief – The 16 Deaths of My Master (Prophecy)

The title sounds a lot like a 1980’s straight to video Kung Fu classic. I expect Bolo Yeung to guest somewhere and some bad dubbing. However, my Blockbuster nostalgia is damned. The 16 Deaths of My Master is in fact… Continue Reading →

Horripilant – Embrace The Obsession (Black Seed Productions)

Debut EP from this Spanish trio of death metallers. And all apparently done ‘under their own will without paying attention to any current underground/mass media trends or what nowadays is referred to as cult’. Which frankly is pretty much what… Continue Reading →

Northern Darkness Open Air 2021 – Fell Foot Wood, Newby Bridge 20-21/8/21 Sat

Glancing out of the hotel window was enough to know that the second day was going to be a damp affair. However, with bands not starting until 6pm it gave our group a chance to head out. But first, no… Continue Reading →

Wormwood – Arkivet (Black Lodge Records)

Many bands evolve through their existence and Wormwood are no different. They formed in Sweden in 2014 under the guise of black and roll, they have then tipped their caps to a melodic black metal style before finally settling on… Continue Reading →

Nocturnal – Serpent Death (Dying Victims Productions)

German black thrashers Nocturnal have not released anything since 2014, except for an EP last year in fact, but that was the last time I heard from them. I remember chaotic gig madness in London way back in 2008, of… Continue Reading →

Devil’s Force – Singles Collection 2016-2019 (Iron Fist Productions)

Although they appear to be a full band live, in the studio on these recordings Devil’s Force are basically Swede Pierre Tomkvist. This eight tracker represents singles that he has done from inception to date, a catch up if you… Continue Reading →
