Venomous Concept – Politics Versus the Erection (Season Of Mist)

When is a supergroup not a supergroup? I say it transcends that epithet when they have released their fourth killer album of grind infused hardcore punk! For the uninitiated Venomous Concept is the brainchild of Shane Embury and Kevin Sharp… Continue Reading →

Vanishing Point – Dead Elysium (AFM)

Vanishing Point are actually no strangers to the Melodic/Progressive Metal scene, with their debut emerging all the way back in 1997 – a slightly more progressive offering than what followed. Signing to LMP in 2000 and releasing 2nd album “Tangled… Continue Reading →

Slomosa – S/T (Apollon Records)

Tundra rock? Fuzzy, desert stoner metal from Bergen, Norway? Yep, you read that right. Slomosa have dropped their debut long player after having built themselves a nice little reputation in their homeland. The band released the singles “Horses” and “There… Continue Reading →

The Devil’s Trade – The Call Of The Iron Peak (Season Of Mist)

The second release by David Mako away from his doom metal bands and into his doom folk guise. Now as I sit here writing the sun is out, its warm and…. Yeah, not exactly sunny music this. So, pull the… Continue Reading →

Frostvore – Drowned By Blood (Testimony Records)

One look at this Japanese band’s moniker and you’d possibly think black metal, then you’d look at their label and think again and you’d be right as this Far East bunch play old school Swedeath from way back and I… Continue Reading →

Ars Magna Umbrae – Apotheosis (I, Voidhanger Records)

Black Metal is still very much an evolving art form and while some stay true to its roots, others continue to push the boundaries and this is exactly what Polish one-man project Ars Magna Umbrae does here. Following on from… Continue Reading →

Precambrian – Tectonics (Primitive Reaction)

Kaboom! That, the sound of the thunderous volcanic explosion that gives birth to the magnificent geode! As Martin Prince once said, he also urged that his geode must be acknowledged. Alas my love of the Simpsons should probably be reserved… Continue Reading →

Self Hypnosis – Contagion of Despair (Svart Records)

Kris Clayton started writing new material for Camel of Doom, his avant-garde stoner project.  On realising that things were getting even more leftfield he roped in his former Esoteric bandmate Greg Chandler.  The pair drafted in Tom Vallely in to drum and he hopped on the… Continue Reading →

God’s Bastard – Last Standing Village (I, Voidhanger)

God’s Bastard… Well, it sure doesn’t sound like the being in question was a planned child! And family relations must be pretty complicated… From the looks of things, anyway, it seems that a lot of bad feelings are being harbored…. Continue Reading →

Drunemeton – Return To Old Europe (Der Schwarze Tod)

I have to admit that I went into this review a little blind, not really knowing much about Drunemeton except an awareness that they are Russian Pagan Black Metal……I googled “Drunemeton” to try to do a bit of background research… Continue Reading →

WalDStreeT – Northeast (Haarbn)

Russian label Haarbn Production have an interesting and niche roster of releases. Things pop up from them very occasionally and to date they have only 38 albums to their name. What I have noticed is that despite often containing a… Continue Reading →

Insatanity – Hymns of the Gods Before (CDN Records)

This US death metal band started in and around 1992 and this is only their second full length album. With a career spanning many EP’s, there has been a consistent approach to song writing. Over the years the style hasn’t… Continue Reading →
