Exist – Egoiista (Prosthetic)

I’m such a nerd, and I’ve only leaned into it more and more as my life has gone on. I literally couldn’t care less what people think of me now, long gone is the bullied kid in high school, long… Continue Reading →

En Minor – When The Cold Truth Has Worn Its Miserable Welcome Out (Season Of Mist)

The world of metal has its heroes and villains, those that stand out as paradigms of goodness, respect and an adherence to the metal code of honour (Ronnie James Dio, Steve Harris, Chuck Schuldiner, The Koller Brothers, Steve Brodsky et… Continue Reading →

Katavasia – Magnus Venator (Floga Records)

There is something sublime about Katavasia’s sophomore album, a majesty that flows out from the nine tracks that is probably down to the experience within the ranks of its members that has come from Varathron, Hail Spirit Noir, Aenaon to… Continue Reading →

Polymoon – Caterpillars of Creation (Svart)

It’s always good to hear new bands coming forward, especially in this current era of no live gigs, and as such I was glad to have Polymoon and their debut album ‘Caterpillars of Creation’ sent my way to review, and… Continue Reading →

Vacant Eyes – Somber Preclusion of Being (S/R)

The master of mastering Jens Bogren, who has been involved with just about anybody who’s anybody is the melodic metal world and more, must have been on overtime for this substantial offering from the US melodic and death/doom metal band… Continue Reading →

Watertank – Silent Running (Atypeek Music)

Watertank… a strange name, unlikely to thrust the band into the spotlight and demand attention, in fact, unlikely to elicit anything more than tepid interest from most.  However, we all know that you should never judge a book by its… Continue Reading →

Ulver – Flowers Are Evil (House Of Mythology)

“We are wolves,” state Ulver and let’s go with that for now and contemplate their position in the grand scheme of things along with the music on this their 16th studio album and new book “Wolves Evolve The Story of… Continue Reading →

Thurisaz – Re-Incentive (S/R)

I was lucky, even grateful, to catch this Belgian act the Graspop Metal Meeting in 2017, even if my travelling companions didn’t seem that impressed with the band whilst watching them. Their atmospheric brilliance was staggering to watch so getting… Continue Reading →

Aleynmord – The Blinding Light (AOP Records)

Another band from Portland, Oregon, the town where seemingly everybody makes music, and in many cases music of the darker kind. A new band from musical Portland, where people – the mayor included – are standing up against Trump, his… Continue Reading →

Döda Havet – Tod Och Rum (Gaphals)

This five piece from Sweden “play rock music”, was what I read on one of the sources I used to get some background. Whilst I agree that this unilluminating statement can be countered by “you’ll find out if you listen… Continue Reading →
