Heads for the Dead – Into The Red (Transcending Obscurity)

There are a few record labels that really guarantee a good release on them, and Transcending Obscurity is one of those. Heads for the Dead are another death metal project featuring the near ubiquitous Jonny Pettersson (Wombath, Henry Kane et.al.),… Continue Reading →

Bhleg – Ödhin (Nordvis)

Active since 2013, this Swedish three piece have maintained a steady stream of singles and EPs since 2018 sophomore album “Solarmegin”. Third album “Ödhin” throws us in at the deep end with some fast melodic riffs and raw on opener… Continue Reading →

Funeral Winds – Essence (Avantgarde)

Hellchrist Xul has been creating Satanic overtures since way back in 1991. During this time he has upped sticks from home in the Netherlands to Prague and collaborated with countless band members, delivering 4 previous albums and a plethora of… Continue Reading →

Accept – Too Mean To Die (Nuclear Blast)

Folks, I have a massive confession to clear off my chest, so please forgive my rambling. Accept is a band I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen live, and each and every time I’ve caught them, I’ve… Continue Reading →

Fireforce – Rage Of War (Rock Of Angels Records)

Surely with a name like that we’re in for a cross between Firewind and Dragonforce? Well…not really, there’s a bit of Firewind in the music but thankfully Belgian Metallers Fireforce stop well short of the fast-as-you-can theatrics of Dragonforce. Actually,… Continue Reading →

Frozen Soul – Crypt Of Ice (Century Media Records)

There is absolutely no doubt which band inspires this old school death metal outfit and that’s Bolt Thrower. Every song reeks of that warring onslaught we all loved about those UK deathsters. Having formed in 2018 the band has released… Continue Reading →

Dispyt – Under Tiden Jag Sålde Min Själ Till Satan (Immortal Frost)

What a filthy way to start 2021. Dispyt released this album in December but I put back listening to it until now to allow it to kick the last dregs of sluggishness from my post yule being. This three piece burst forth from Pietersaari in Finland in… Continue Reading →

Concrete Age – Spirituality (Haarbn Production)

Like many a band, perhaps Concrete Age envisaged London as a Dick Whittington wonderland with the streets paved with guitar shops and headed over here from their homeland Mineralnye Vody Russia. No doubt they headed straight to Tin Pan Alley,… Continue Reading →

Wintarnaht – Hriuwa (Talheim Records)

Utilising the early Old High German dialect (popular around the ninth and tenth century) instead of their modern mother-tongue, Wintarnaht propose an interesting concept before even striking a note. Styling themselves as “archaic pagan black metal”, this nonetheless has an… Continue Reading →

Hostia – Carnivore Carnival (Deformeathing Productions)

There are plenty of Polish grind acts to sink your teeth into as each has that punishing authentic grind sound such as Squash Bowels, Straight Hate, Suffering Mind and Antigama to name a handful you should check out if grind… Continue Reading →
