Is it really 4 years since I reviewed “The Horse and Other Weird Tales” by Finns Jess and the Ancient Ones? Of course time stands for Jess and chums – somewhere around 1967 in a haze of patchouli, flowers and electric kool aid. Exactly how it… Continue Reading →
This second album has taken some time to be unveiled since the bands excellent debut, ‘The Deep Longing For Annihilation’ released in 2017, but it has been worth the wait. Being picked up by the prolific German label should suggest… Continue Reading →
With an impressive 25-year career, Switzerland’s Impure Wilhelmina drop album number seven. Line-up changes have not deterred them as they continue to straddle the rock/metal divide. Michael Schind has remained the group’s creative force throughout. Opening with a muscular, swirling riff… Continue Reading →
Amorphis guitarist Esa Holopainen has decided it’s high time he mixed things up a bit. I guess 30 years in the same band can do that to a guy, but it’s not like Amorphis with their Dark Metal stylings are… Continue Reading →

Since I first heard Bal-Sagoth I’ve been into Symphonic Extreme Metal. Particularly the more ridiculous side of it. Big over the top Power Metal style orchestration laying about with harsh vocals and goblin-like silliness has always appealed to me. In… Continue Reading →
Credit to the band first of all for doing something I can’t ever recall seeing before: three of this quintet are actually smiling on the sleeve photo. Inner Earth’s music is described as progressive metal, but whatever the type of… Continue Reading →
I am assuming that this EP by the UK deathrash act is a stop-gap before an impending full length which I am certainly looking forward to hearing, if one is in the pipeline. I absolutely loved this bands last album… Continue Reading →
London based outfit Void have been knocking around for two decades now and in their early years had strong ties with the Norwegian avant-weird scene. Czral of Ved Buens Ende, Aura Noir etc was a previous drummer Heimoth, Seth, Sinsaenum… Continue Reading →
