Orange Goblin – Science, Not Fiction (Peaceville Records)

Orange Goblin, a mainstay of the British metal scene for nearly 30 years and have achieved much in their long, fruitful career which has bordered both stoner, doom and traditional metal. Now is the time for their tenth studio outing… Continue Reading →

Perversity – Spiritual Negation (Great Dane)

This is a death metal band from Slovakia active since 1995. I had not heard of them before initially, although I do remember seeing an older release “In the Garment of Lust”, mainly due to the artwork. This is their… Continue Reading →

Castrated – Surgical Vicissitude (Comatose)

Castrated, not to be confused with UKDM legends Kastrated are four piece band featuring ex-members of Horrific Demise, Sarcophagy and Architectural Genocide to name but a few. So it’s quite clear this band boasts some strong pedigree. Given their accolades… Continue Reading →

Seth – La France Des Maudits (Season Of Mist)

I was blown away by this French bands last album, ‘La Morsure Du Christ’, so much so that I instantly bought it at the time. This latest and seventh album is likely to be on my purchase list too as… Continue Reading →

Worshipper – One Way Trip (Magnetic Eye)

It always makes an album just a little more intriguing when outlets, reviewers and even record companies fail to agree on the actual musical style of a band. And these descriptions can vary quite a lot. Case in point is… Continue Reading →

Blasfeme – Black Legion (Wulfhere Productions)

The first album by this Bristol bunch, Iniquity In Salvation, completely passed me by I’m afraid but due to some nifty social media awareness raised by Wulfhere Productions and a few musicians, this actually rather curious band’s latest release made… Continue Reading →

LAWA – Manifestation (Cineploit)

Fear fans and cineastes rejoice. New sinister sounds have been brewing in Vienna from the boffins at Cineploit. For the uninitiated the two composers at LAWA who the project take their name from are Alain Leonard and Alex Wank and… Continue Reading →

Forgotten Tomb – Nightfloating (Agonia)

Seemingly existing only as pertaining to the album title, the word ‘Nightfloating’ seems an easy enough one to deduce. Unless I am completely mistaken it is the liminal state of being where one is crossing the path between wakefulness and… Continue Reading →

Black Lava – The Savage Winds to Wisdom (Season of Mist)

Black Lava is an experienced band with affiliations to many other bands, among them Vipassi and Million Dead Birds Laughing. Translated into genre, that broadly means instrumental progressive metal and technical death metal. Signs are that this second album from… Continue Reading →

Gorgonchrist – And Justice For Balls (Road to Masochist)

I had to have a word with myself whilst reviewing this album.  The description of Crust Punk mixed with Sludge Metal in the list sent by the Ave Noctum Big Boss (ANBB) whet my appetite and got me all a… Continue Reading →

Steinras – Steinras (Soulseller Records)

How can a band be both so old as to be intensely familiar, but also on their debut album? That is the question that immediately leaps out at me from Steinras’ first, self-titled offering. Because while this might be Steinras’… Continue Reading →

Vanhelgd – Atropos Doctrina (Dark Descent)

Another addition to my list of ‘I’ve heard of them but never heard them’ are today’s specimens Vanhelgd, not to be confused with DSBM band Vanhelga, whom I would recommend also if you haven’t heard them. Vanhelgd do however also… Continue Reading →
