Old Mother Hell – Lord Of Demise (Cruz Del Sur)

After 2017’s attention grabbing, self titled release, Mannheim power trio Old Mother Hell are back once more to bring us more of their Traditional Teutonic Heavy Metal stylings Ronald (bass), Bernd (guitar/vocals) and Michael (drums) cooked up the base material… Continue Reading →

Surma – The Light Within (Metal Blade)

On the whole, I tend to find Symphonic Metal to be one of the most optimistic and positive of all the many fantastic Metal styles out there. Musically and lyrically the genre leans easily towards that look-on-the-bright-side approach, which, lets… Continue Reading →

Possessor – Damn The Light (APF Records)

If you like horror movies, riffs, and think that all necks need a workout to some dirty rhythms, then there’s a fair chance you’ll get to like Possessor, already like Possessor, or for that matter, already be in Possessor! Sporting… Continue Reading →

Streams of Blood – Erløsung (The Hidden Art)

The first thing I learnt about this, the fourth album by German black metallers Streams of Blood, was that all the hard copies of the CD had been stolen. I can relate entirely to the frustration of that after a… Continue Reading →

Blackthrash from Chile, named after a Destruction song eh? Well I guess one thing guaranteed here is that South American intensity and integrity with the Chilean dark outlook. Yeah, Invincible Force, on their second full length certainly have that. ‘Doomed… Continue Reading →

Coexistence – Collateral Dimension (Transcending Obscurity)

On my co-hosted radio show Dark Tryal (live every Sunday from 21:00 on TotalRock, shameless self-promotion) it has become a running joke that I only listen to Prog Death Metal. I’m not really sure where this idea has stemmed from… Continue Reading →

Marche Funèbre – Einderlicht (Hypnotic Dirge Records)

This is the fourth album by this Belgian quintet, whose name seems awfully familiar, but for some reason they are new to me. Formed 12 years ago, they released their first album in 2011 with the last one released in… Continue Reading →

Antzaat – For You Men Who Gaze Into the Sun (Immortal Frost Productions)

Belgian black metal band Antzaat step forward with their first album following an EP release in 2017. Around since 2015, their style is described as Scandinavian with hints of Sargeist and Behexen. I thought we’d started off at a wedding,… Continue Reading →

Vitam Aeternam – The Self-Aware Frequency (Crime Records)

When I was sent this album for review, I was promised something “interesting”, and I certainly was not disappointed on that score! As soon as I pressed play, I found myself contemplating the album title and considering how relevant it… Continue Reading →
