Nightmare – Encrypted (AFM)

Y’see, now I just feel stupid. There I was, blathering on and on back in 2020 about how Nightmare’s new vocalist was a new beginning for the band, that she was such a great find and with her in the… Continue Reading →

Amen Corner – Written By The Devil (Hammerheart Records)

Even ‘If Paradise is (half as nice) don’t worry that is not where we are heading. Hell is a much more likely proposition and it is unlikely when forming over 30 years ago that this Brazilian cult had any idea… Continue Reading →

Khirki – Eightball Club, Thessalonki 20/4/24

I had heard a lot about this band. Everyone who mentioned them to me kept saying, “You have to listen to them; they are very unique.” I also heard that they were considered the next big thing in Greece. So,… Continue Reading →

Haunted Plasma – I (Svart)

Ok I knew nothing about them and frankly the bands the members are in are not, what you might call, haunts of mine. But the name and the vague descriptions kind of intrigued me so here we are. Spooky gothy… Continue Reading →

Wormwood – The Star (Black Lodge Records)

Swedish melodic black metal group, Wormwood have returned with their fourth album, The Star. Having never heard of this band before, I guess the eponymous star shone brightly in terms of first impressions, making me want to hear more from… Continue Reading →

Upper Decker – Family Dinner (Great Dane Records)

A CD! An actual CD with artwork and a booklet and everything! In a world of downloads once I picked the CD off my hallway floor I also picked myself up at the shock. The fact that this is brutal… Continue Reading →

Carpathian Forest, Order Of The Ebon Hand – Eightball Club, Thessaloniki 11/4/24

The announcement of this concert had hit like a bomb. It was a long-awaited event for the city, as the last time they visited the country, 20 years ago, the concert in Thessaloniki had been cancelled at the last minute…. Continue Reading →

Cloven Hoof – Heathen Cross (High Roller Records)

You may already know the history of this underrated band, so I am not going to go there with this latest release. Suffice to say, with vocalist Harry (The Tyrant) Conklin roped in for this recording, you should expect a… Continue Reading →

Inconcessus Lux Lucis – Temples Colliding In Fire (I, Voidhanger)

Silent for a few years but it is time to step into the light and “Saturnian Black Magick” of Inconcessus Lux Lucis once more. I think that I am beginning to get illumination from the Manchester based act finally following… Continue Reading →

Thou – Umbilical (Sacred Bones)

Heavy as a heavy thing – that is the best way to describe Thou from Baton Rouge. They steamrollered into my ears during the cursed pandemic with their magnificent collaboration project “May Our Chambers Be Full”.  The question I had at… Continue Reading →

Parfaxitas – Weaver of the Black Moon (Terratur Possessions)

Although this is a debut album, there’s a good deal of experience in Parfaxitas, including contributions by members of Slidhr, Suffering Hour and Oculus. Described as intricate black metal, “Weaver of the Black Moon” is put forward as “a grand… Continue Reading →

Mocs & Cucs – Cremem Los Putos Bancs (S/R)

Què? Well one look at the cartoon cover art of this one and I expected a zany listening experience. Mocs & Cucs or to give them their full name Milford Mocs & Gunther Cucs translate from native Catalan to ‘Mucus… Continue Reading →
