Interview – ColdCell

The end of the world could come in many forms; war, famine, plague, meteors, climate change, natural and ecological disaster, zombies, Vogon Constructor Fleets. One thing seems ever more assured though and that is that the end is indeed nigh…. Continue Reading →

Desaster – Churches Without Saints (Metal Blade)

This German black thrash band has an extensive discography with eight previous albums, numerous splits and EPs and a slew of live albums too and despite this fact are probably still as underground now as they ever were, though with… Continue Reading →

Circle of Sighs – Narci (Metal Assault Records)

OK put the genre lists down.  I am talking to myself here as well as any curious fool that reads this. To put this frankly batshit collective in a box would be a travesty. When I read the accompanying blurb… Continue Reading →

Balmog – Eve (War Anthem)

Although they have plenty of releases to their name and have been going since 2003, I’m a recent advocate of the Spanish cult of Balmog. Very impressed with last album Vacvvm and one-track EP Pillars Of Salt I had them… Continue Reading →

Code – Flyblown Prince (Dark Essence)

It seems perfect timing that a week or so after covering one bunch of English eccentrics Void that it is the turn of another, Code now. Both groups started out in similar fashion and indeed there was a crossover point… Continue Reading →

Burning Witches – The Witch Of The North (Nuclear Blast)

This album is the fourth in five years for bassist Jeanine Grob, guitarist Romana Kalkuh and drummer Lala Frischknecht, while second for vocalist Laura Guldemond, as they debut new guitarist Larissa Ernst, following on less than a year since the… Continue Reading →

The Flight of Sleipnir – Eventide (Eisenwald)

Sleipnir is an eight-legged horse which features in a 13th century Icelandic poem and saga. The Flight of Sleipnir, who haven’t of course been around as long as this and come from the USA, do have a strong back catalogue… Continue Reading →

CMPT – Mrtvaja (Osmose Productions)

In the 1990s, when black metal was having his major and genre-defining moment, there was a war raging in the Balkans. While black metal bands were forming all over Europe, the activity in the former Yugoslavia was hardly worth mentioning…. Continue Reading →

Riexhumation – The Final Revelation Of Abaddon (Lavadome Productions)

With a couple of demos and an EP already released this Italian act’s debut full length is as brutal and encapsulating as anything you’re likely to listen to within the death metal sphere. The band’s EP ‘Under The Serpent’s Dogma’… Continue Reading →

Sectlinefor – Kissing Strangers During an Outbreak (S/R)

I didn’t pick this out for its title but it did make me laugh. All the nonsense about being allowed to hug people in a country where people don’t hug each other represents a normal level of absurdity. Sectlinefor will… Continue Reading →

Lung Knots – Golden Dirges, Molten Larynges (Tartarus Records)

Wow, just when I thought I had all boundaries covered, heard every conceivable formation of noise to sit within most genres and boundaries of the rock and metal spectrum, a new vehicle comes along. Until the moment I pressed play… Continue Reading →

Lake Mungo – Joel Anderson (Second Sight)

Make no mistake the announcement of Lake Mungo getting the Second Sight treatment was met by a definite rallying cry around online movie groups with everyone who had seen it before stating what an excellent film it was. Critics had… Continue Reading →
