Kanonenfieber – Menschenmühle (Avantgarde / Noisebringer)

I kinda grabbed this as WWI based black metal with a cover reminiscent of some old VoiVod album appealed as did the name Canon Fever. Debut too from a one-man band from Bavaria. Blackened death always kinda worries me for… Continue Reading →

Groza – The Redemptive End (AOP Records)

So, for the last eighteen months or so we have had to unite and take on whatever the world has had to throw at us in its own twisted deliverance, and most of us thought there couldn’t possibly be anything… Continue Reading →

Blacksword – Alive Again (No Remorse)

Blacksword’s debut came out back in 2010 and not a lot has been heard from the band until now. I was actually totally unaware of said personally, so if like me you are new to the band – who and… Continue Reading →

Temple Of Dread – Hades Unleashed (Testimony Records)

Three albums in three successive years, the momentum in the Temple Of Dread camp shows no signs of abating as does the creative energy on this third full length. Why change an already successful template when it delivers such top-quality… Continue Reading →

Chotza – Plump U Primitiv (Folter Records)

Another day, another new band to me despite being around for a decade. They play, apparently, punked up black n roll, hail from Bern and sing in Barndutsch which is a Swiss/German dialect. This is also a rerecording of their… Continue Reading →

Luz: The Flower Of Evil – Juan Diego Escobar Alzate (Fractured Visions)

Prepare to be transported to another world, one portrayed by a feast of visual imagery. We are in a verdant and lush paradise in the Colombian mountains. There are forested regions and stunning dioramas including a magnificent waterfall flowing into… Continue Reading →

Prayers of Sanity – Doctrine of Misanthropy (Rastilho Records)

Throw yourself head first into the pit and do it with confidence and purpose because that’s what Prayers Of Sanity command of you with this full-on thrash assault, ‘Doctrine Of Misanthropy’. Eight tracks of solid and unrelenting thrash, or more… Continue Reading →

Planet of the Dead – Pilgrims (S/R)

So, you love sludge, and also love cult sci-fi and horror, so what do you do? Well, if you’re natives of Wellington, the answer would be to form a band and crank out an album that hits with all the… Continue Reading →

Purification – The Exterminating Angel (Rafchild Records)

I have been following this Portland, Oregon band’s path on an online music platform. Following a few raw releases ‘The Exterminating Angel’ is in my mind a warped doom vision! Perplexing reality with hints of thunderous doom riffs right out… Continue Reading →

Ulvik – Cascades (Avantgarde)

A couple of guys from Canada’s British Columbia make up Ulvik, where the emphasis is very much on atmosphere. They themselves capture their work as “an audio/visual project, drawing influence from folklore, esotericism, history and the dramatic Cascadian landscapes”. To… Continue Reading →

Dream Tröll – Realm of the Tormentör (S/R)

I’m kvlt as fvk me. Got my Lamp Of Murmuur longsleeve, my Black Cilice vinyl and Askog demo tape set and Wynter Myst cassette. Actually that’s all true, apart from the kvlt bit. I’m kvlt as fvk all. But I… Continue Reading →

Prieuré – La Foi Des Bourreaux (Vetus Capra)

I certainly feel honoured receiving a CD that is limited to just 50 copies here to review from the man without a face Sans Visage who is responsible for it. This is an obscure and underground one-man black metal project… Continue Reading →
