War Agenda – Propaganda (Great Dane)

This is the second album from the German outfit formed in 2012, with their debut released 5 years ago. While they describe themselves as a thrash band with a Bay Area sound, they are quite a bit more than just… Continue Reading →

Brutal Kraut – Progression in Madness (Boersma)

Energetic death metal was my expectation. They express it more colourfully: “Metal for angry rednecks, beer-drinking tops and music nerds of the hard sounds that want to vent their frustration with everyday life”. A distinct melodic death metal riff provides… Continue Reading →

Hatebreed – Weight Of The False Self (Nuclear Blast)

You have to hand it to Connecticut’s Hatebreed, that this new album, which represents their 8th full length release since their inception back in 1994 are still terrorising audiences around the world. In terms of pure longevity, you have to… Continue Reading →

Voivod – Lost Machine Live (Century Media)

I doubt it will surprise anyone if there is an absolute plethora of live albums getting released in 2021 due to the very obvious music stopping in 2020. Nobody ever really envisaged the death of gigs and the very best-case… Continue Reading →

Eleine – Dancing In Hell (Black Lodge)

It’s all looking rather dark in the Symphonic Metal world of Eleine. Granted this Swedish band have never been renowned for their sunny disposition, but from the opening crashing down-tuned chord on “Dancing In Hell” it’s clear that we are… Continue Reading →

Fox Oak – Destroying Angel (S/R)

Here’s a thing. Fungi based ambient? Well this EP is the debut from a project by Conchuir O’Drona of From The Bogs Of Aughiska, now located outside of the Brexshit zone to the relative calm of Sweden. Not being up… Continue Reading →

Cadaver – Edder & Bile (Nuclear Blast)

If ever you needed proof that a Cadaver could rise and roar again, here it is! Reanimated after the Necrosis of the last album had set in, the limbs were flexed and rigor-mortis was eased by a new E.P D.G.A.F…. Continue Reading →

Light Field Reverie – Another World (Avantgarde Music)

Variety is the spice of life and as much as we all need gnarly slabs of aggressive metal to see us through the day, there are also times when we need something more mellow but still within the realm of… Continue Reading →

E.N.D. – A Grave Deceit (Geenger Records)

Croatian band Evil Never Dies, or E.N.D., have been in existence since 1996 when they were a hardcore band in the style of Sick of It All, since when they have moved towards the realms of groove metal. This EP… Continue Reading →

Corecass – Void (Golden Antenna Records)

Wow, where do I start on this one. So it was sold to me as a creative outlet, beyond a conventional approach, something truly unique, expressive, whilst fusing together instruments such as the harp, accordion, guitar and natural voice. Intrigued??… Continue Reading →

Mitochondrial Sun – Sju Pulsarer (Argonauta Records)

Back in February, Niklas Sundlin felt that the time was right to let some of his creative ideas which didn’t quite fit for Dark Tranquillity gain a life and identity of their own. ‘Mitochondrial Sun’, the self-titled debut album of… Continue Reading →

Subterraen – Rotten Human Kingdom (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Doom and sludge metal has not been a favourite genre of mine for a few years now but the recent awesome album by Sweden’s Serpent Omega, ‘II’, changed that so I decided to give Subterraen a go which turned out… Continue Reading →
