Tomorrow’s Rain – Hollow (AOP Records)

Part of the Israeli metal scene since 2002 when formed as Moonskin by founding member Yishai Sweartz it is no surprise to hear that Tomorrow’s Rain has had in past line-up members of Salem and Orphaned Land through their doors…. Continue Reading →

For Ruin – Elapse (Self Released)

I’m not sure you can really characterise a seven-year hiatus as an “elapse” but I can forgive For Ruin, given that the Irish band were one of the very first that I reviewed many, many years ago. Essentially a project… Continue Reading →

The Brothers Keg – Folklore, Myths, and Legends… (APF Records)

The normal way this music review malarkey works is that a band or label looking to promote a forthcoming release will send previews to assorted magazines and sites, confident in the strength of their product garnering positive write ups that… Continue Reading →

The Death Wheelers – Divine Filth (Riding Easy)

When I read the…er…concept behind this lot of filthy Canadian bikers trapped in the seventies I was kinda intrigued. Visions of the musical soundtrack to some lost drive-in biker fodder about a drug crisis in Spurcity certainly appealed and their… Continue Reading →

Dead Lord – Surrender (Century Media)

Dead Lord are consistently churning out entertaining free flowing releases that simply roll out of your speakers. If you are a fan you know what to expect, for newer followers I feel they take their influence from the likes of… Continue Reading →

Night – High Tides – Distant Skies (The Sign)

Sweden knows how to do retro-rock. It knows how to do so many great forms of rock and metal too of course, but when you stumble across a really cool, authentic hard rock band, encapsulating the exact vibe of what… Continue Reading →

Kairon; IRSE! – Polysomn (Svart)

A bit of psych rock here from the only band I’ve ever encountered with a semi colon in their name. Not sure what the IRSE is about but I doubt it stands for the Institute of Railway Signal Engineers. Band… Continue Reading →

Pain of Salvation – Panther (InsideOut)

Prog – either rock or metal – is my arch enemy. My nemesis. Hear me out please, I promise not to be too lengthy. (Not very prog like). This does not mean I hate Prog, rather I have always had an issue with… Continue Reading →

Black Magnet – Hallucination Scene (20 Buck Spin)

Anyone up for music that’s the equivalent of and goes well with stroboscopic light? Because that’s what 20 Buck Spin have got here for you. Industrial metal – and of a rather numbing kind. An unusual release this is for… Continue Reading →

Persekutor – Permanent Winter (Svart)

I’m not as kvlt as I used to be, and frankly I’m pretty alright with that. Music on a personal level is an evolution, sometimes we only care about what is ‘real’ and ‘trve’ and other times we don’t care… Continue Reading →

Foretoken – Ruin (Prosthetic)

Throwing everything but the kitchen sink (and sometimes even that) into your overall sound can be a recipe for disaster and you have to be an accomplished musician to pull it off and not have the result sounding like an… Continue Reading →

Theotoxin – Fragment: Erhabenheit (AOP Records)

Looking at the biography of this Austrian black metal band, it seems they have taken an admirable path: three albums since 2017 and intensive touring to parade their wares. Theotoxin don’t beat about the bush. Violence erupts through the pitch-black… Continue Reading →
