Audn – Vökudraumsins fangi (Season of Mist)

Audn are comparable to a toddler amongst the Scandinavian black metal family, being spawned back in 2010, they are now unleashing their third opus onto the world, and to those of us who aren’t overly familiar with the bands native… Continue Reading →

Wytch Hazel – III: Pentecost (Bad Omen Records)

You’ve got to hand it to Wytch Hazel, they’re pretty bloody prolific. This is this their third full length album since 2016, and therefore you might be wondering if the retro-rock/metal UK outfit might be exhausting their well of ideas…. Continue Reading →

Déluge – Ægo Templo (Metal Blade)

Although black metal musicians are not exactly known for cracking jokes, French band Déluge were apparently partly joking when they decided to tag their music and themselves as “untrve black metal”. In doing so, however, they have, probably unintentionally, nicely… Continue Reading →

Pulchra Morte – Ex Rosa Ceremonia (Transcending Records)

The second Autumn’s plague-ridden breath blew in, the trees clenched their roots, shook and shed their leaves along with an absolute stack of doom death albums. Yep it is the traditional time of year for a multitude of acts to… Continue Reading →

MuN – Presomnia (Piranha Music)

I’ll be entirely honest and say that despite being in this music reviewing lark for a wee while, I know next to nothing about the Polish metal scene.  With the exception of the rather excellent Corruption, my only encounters with… Continue Reading →

THEM – Return To Hemmersmoor (SPV/Steamhammer)

I love concept albums. The way they can create a gripping narrative and the way the music helps set the scene and enabling a vivid mental movie to unfold and take place in your mind is something truly special and… Continue Reading →

Mountain Caller – Chronicle 1: Truthseeker (New Heavy Sounds)

There’s something about three-piece bands, whether it’s Venom, Jawbreaker, Sumac or Prong, there is something that resonates around the purity and sparseness of bands comprising just three people, that purveys a cleanliness of mission and sound that is hard to… Continue Reading →

MRTVI – Omniscient Hallucinatory Delusion (Transcending Obscurity)

Black Metal should be fertile ground for experimentation and oddity. In a lot of ways it kind of is, but then on the other hand it’s so ‘kvlt’ and ‘trve’ that fans hate on absolutely everything else that isn’t Mayhem…. Continue Reading →

Solitary – The Truth Behind the Lies (Metalville Records)

So, as it turns out, Lancashire’s Solitary have been going since the 90’s, and this is album number four for them. In fairness, this is my first experience with them, so if there are any fans of the Preston crew… Continue Reading →

Garmarna – Förbundet (Season of Mist)

I was relatively late to the Garmarna party, only really becoming aware of them at Midgardsblot a few years ago. Since then, I have been intrigued by their unique brand of eclectic folk rock and have enjoyed exploring their 30… Continue Reading →

The Grief – Ascent EP and Descent EP (Self Released)

2020 has been a bit of a pain in the arse really, hasn’t it? I mean, everyone has had their plans dashed this year, and Cork, Ireland’s The Grief are no exception. They originally hoped to have these two EP’s… Continue Reading →

Pulse – Adjusting the Space (NRT Records)

What with Fear Factory combusting spectacularly recently maybe Pulse have stepped up at the right time with their “Cyber Future Metal”.  First off if you are new to this band, they are not in the style of Burton and Dino’s Bladerunner bothering cyber death/Nu… Continue Reading →
