Sens Dep – Lush Desolation (S/R)

I was interested to read that the debut album by Tasmanian band Sens Dep, being the abbreviation of Sensory Deprivation, was recorded over four years in a tin shed, an alpine hunter’s hut, concrete inter-zones, and the Tasmanian wilderness. The… Continue Reading →

Paga – The Evil Year (Svart Records)

Paga from Sweden are Pelle and Gottfrid Ahman – the latter being ex vocalist of In Solitude and the band have been picked by Khvost of Grave Pleasures/ Beastmilk to be released on his Secret Trees imprint via Svart Records. The accompanying press release mentions the… Continue Reading →

Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron (No Remorse)

Aside from the cover art – yes, they did go there – the second thing that strikes me about Eternal Champion’s second platter is the confident stride we kick off with from get go. Not so much the lone warrior… Continue Reading →

Mongrel’s Cross – Arcana, Scrying And Revelation (Hells Headbangers Records)

Four fifths of this band are from Australia but the other fifth in the ranks is Proscriptor (Absu) who adds his considerable vocal abilities to this third album from a band whose name intrigued me, firstly because it doesn’t make… Continue Reading →

Urfaust – Teufelsgeist (Ván Records)

Not to be mistaken with their first release, ‘Geist ist Teufel’ (spirit is devil), ‘Teufelsgeist’ (devil’s spirit) is the sixth full length from Dutch duo, Urfaust. In true pretentious black metal nature, to fully appreciate this album, it has of… Continue Reading →

Keiser – Our Wretched Demise (Non Serviam Records)

My reviewing for November started with a deadly double death metal combo as the end of the month sees the coin flipped for a triple ballistic assault in black metal as this Norwegian act inflicts their own brand of aural… Continue Reading →

Scour – Black (Nuclear Blast)

As with the falling of the leaves, days that seem to last for mere moments before being eaten by the watery night god of doom that is Autumn and another inept and spineless wrong step from the incumbent UK government,… Continue Reading →

Lie in Ruins – Floating in Timeless Streams (Dark Descent Records)

Here’s a prime slice of Finnish death metal for you all out there. Lie In Ruins have been active since about 2002, but released their first full length album back in 2009, with this being their third full record. I… Continue Reading →

Varde – Fedraminne (Nordvis)

Boasting former members of Nordjevel, Alsvartr and Dødheimsgard, I presumed that Varde was going to be a brutal barrage of barbaric black metal. I was wrong. This is a far more measured, almost cerebral, approach to the genre. This is… Continue Reading →

Corrupt Moral Altar – Patiently Waiting for Wonderful Things (APF Records)

It may have been a horrendous year, without any live gigs in over eight months (Napalm Death was my last incidentally), but one positive as such, is the high quality of recorded output; the pandemic obviously getting many a creative… Continue Reading →

Revolting – The Shadow At The World’s End (Transcending Obscurity)

The title for this album isn’t a reference to The World’s End pub in Camden, the only shadow there is the dark gloom that takes over your face when you see the bill. No, this album is another little bite… Continue Reading →
