January 2021, trapped once more in lockdown, short days, cold wet weather, surely one way to try to raise the spirits would be with a new Korpiklaani album? A bit of unbridled up-tempo folk metal to raise the January mood,… Continue Reading →
Pounder are an American power trio, a heavy metal band that started life in 2017. The debut album ‘Uncivilized’ arrived in 2019. This was a pounding heavy metal monster, but this time around, they have a much better production quality,… Continue Reading →

Misotheist’s self-titled debut, released in 2018, made it on my best-album-of-the-year list, and after two years I’m still happy that I included it – which isn’t true for every LP on that list. I still listen to the album every… Continue Reading →
