Neige et Noirceur – Bach: Preludium Minor (Avantgarde Music)

I know most of Neige et Noirceur’s back catalogue, and I think it’s fair to say that this one-man project always has an interesting take on black metal. This album is no exception. As the title may suggest it is… Continue Reading →

White Magician – Dealers of Divinity (Cruz Del Sur)

Speed Prog. There is a two-word review for you. A concise and to the point critique of these Motor City rockers.  The whip cracking Editor Commander Woods demands more bang for his non-existent buck so I will endeavour to extrapolate further. White Magician are… Continue Reading →

Avandra – Skylighting (Layered Reality Productions)

Hailing from Puerto Rico, Progressive Rock/Metal band Avandra have been steadily making headway through the underground prog scene thanks to their first two releases and now look to reach an even wider audience with their third outing “Skylighting”. Originally started… Continue Reading →

Collapse Under the Empire – Everything We Will Leave Beyond Us (Finaltune Records)

This is the world of dark soundcapes, apocalyptic guitars and epic synth sounds, they tell us. It all points to collapse on this, the band’s 8th album release. “Ark of Horizon” is post rock with electronica. The album as a… Continue Reading →

Dark Psychosis – The Edge Of Nowhere (Moribund Records)

Consisting primarily of multi-instrumentalist Xaphan (from a multitude of Michigan legends including Summon and Masochist), Dark Psychosis has been around in one form or another since 1996, expanding to a full live line-up briefly in 2013-14. “The Edge Of Nowhere” is their third… Continue Reading →

Contrarian – Only Time Will Tell (Willowtip)

Tech Death is a little bit like the early days of Prog Rock. Each band appears hell bent on outdoing the next, I guess that’s just music for you in general but in this case it’s very apt. There has… Continue Reading →

Jo Quail – London Black Heart Live Stream 19-11-20

It speaks volumes that the metal community has so readily embraced a cellist into their world. However, Jo Quail is no ordinary cellist. She uses loops of percussive rhythms and orchestration to produce ever increasing layers, giving her tracks an… Continue Reading →

Lord Fist – Wilderness of Hearts (High Roller)

It’s been a while since we have heard from these Finn’s. Their last album ‘Green Eyleen’ came out five years ago, with the band starting to release material way back in 2012, when I first myself first got to hear… Continue Reading →

Reign / Rulum -The Occvlt (Repose Records)

This is nice. Getting sent an actual (turquoise) cassette to review. A four song each split between two black metal one-man projects about whom I know nothing. Oh, and the neat, nicely designed insert also includes lyrics. So, hats off… Continue Reading →

Spectrale – Arcanes (LADLO)

And now for something a little bit different… It’s time to shuffle the deck and pick some cards from the Minor and the Major Arcana of musician Jeff Grimal, formerly of The Great Old Ones. Fate is very much in… Continue Reading →

Accuser – S/T (Metal Blade)

Veteran German thrashers Accuser have come roaring back with this self-titled release. Album number 12 finds them in a delightfully skull crushing mood with the return of lead guitarist René Shütz giving proceedings a classic lift. Like an aural explosion,… Continue Reading →
