Adamantis – Far Flung Realm (Cruz Del Sur)

After a self-released EP in 2018, Cruz Del Sur have now waded in and unleashed American Power Metal band Adamantis’ first full length album “Far Flung Realm”. It’s an album with its feet firmly fixed in the finest Power Metal… Continue Reading →

Volc Vermaledide – Nietig (Heidens Hart)

In circulation since 2001 and with historic connections to Dutch black metal acts such as Cirith Gorgor and Walpurgisnacht, this album is said to appeal to fans of Ruins of Beverast and Summoning, as well as those of dungeon synth… Continue Reading →

Evulse – Pustulant Spawn (Godz Ov War Productions)

The Polish label has again grabbed hold of a late 2020 release, like the Cult Graves, to give it a further physical release via CD, on top of the cassette version that came out via Transylvanian Tapes. Similar the Cult… Continue Reading →

Raw – Julia Ducournau (Second Sight)

I remember this French / Belgian film getting released with quite a buzz about it and not without a slight hint of controversy. I immediately picked up the Blu Ray via Universal pictures and equally enjoyed and found myself nauseated… Continue Reading →

Shadowspawn – The Biology Of Disbelief (Emanzipation Productions)

A second album from this Danish outfit follows their excellent debut ‘Hope Lies Dormant’ released in 2017. It appears that there has been some rearranging in personnel since this album and a new skin beater (Danni Jelsgaard) has been added… Continue Reading →

Endseeker – Mount Carcass (Metal Blade)

When Swedish Death Metal comes from another country is it still Swedish Death Metal? The same could be said for Brazilian Extreme Metal, very unique sounds. Ones that are highly praised too and also replicated. I think it’s high time… Continue Reading →

Farer – Monad (Aesthetic Death)

Baalberith – Manhunt (Godz ov War)

It is described as death-black metal, and it is death-black metal. This is Polish metal and so the atmosphere is dingy and threatening. The music is relentless and uncompromising. The vocals are like subterranean growls. It is harsh. This is… Continue Reading →

Benny Loves You – Karl Holt (Darkline Entertainment)

Jack (played by director Karl Holt) is a pretty sad man-child but a harmless type. He is also an undeniably talented toy designer who hits a really hard time. His parents with whom he lived in a large unaffordable house… Continue Reading →

Bewitcher – Cursed Be Thy Kingdom (Century Media Records)

I was lucky enough to be put onto this US act some years ago by one of our fellow scribes, Paul Maddison, when I heard one of the band’s early demos. Since then the band has gone from strength to… Continue Reading →

Solar Sons – Chameleon (S/R)

Folks, let me quote a few statistics that are salient to both me and this review:  when I left London in 2014 for Dundee, the local population was reckoned at about 8.5 million, excluding the many “beds in sheds” residents… Continue Reading →

Corr Mhóna – Abhainn (Negre PlanY)

Steeped in Irish tradition with its melodies, time signatures and vocal style, “Abhainn” (River) is mixed with black, death and progressive elements. A concept album about water, “Abhainn” is a work of contrasting styles, traditions and atmospheres. The journey starts… Continue Reading →
