Whoredom Rife – Den Vrede Makt (Terratur Possessions)

When Norwegian black metal is mentioned, most people think of the Oslo and Bergen scenes and all of the legendary bands to have been, and continue to be, spawned from these areas. However, the truth is there is a flourishing… Continue Reading →

House By The Cemetary – The Mortuary Hauntings (Pulverised Records)

“It’s Rogga time,” but let’s face it when is it not? With so many bands on the go Mr Johansson is normally kicking about somewhere or the other. I decided due to the ties with Luci Fulci, naming themselves after… Continue Reading →

Gurthang – Martyrium (Immortal Frost Productions)

A lot of horror themed albums come our way, sometimes they try just a bit too hard and come across as mere shadows of their subject matter. Occasionally though you listen to a piece of music in an unsuspecting fashion… Continue Reading →

Kråbøl – Never (Ván / Terratur Possessions)

“Contact info/social media: Nothing”. Nothing wrong with this of course, and the risk is duly avoided of me being sullied by words in advance of listening. I do know that Kråbøl are an established band from Norway, play black metal… Continue Reading →

Cutterred Flesh – Love at First Bite (Transcending Obscurity)

These Czech Brutal Death Metallers have been around for nearly a quarter of a century though I have not heard of them making their record label name strangely accurate. This is the bands 6th album and the third in 6 years,… Continue Reading →

Hellbutcher – Hellbutcher (Metal Blade)

I often think solo artists in the Metal world don’t amount to a great deal, Bruce’s solo work is no Maiden, the same can be said for Halford and Priest, and thus the list goes on. Even someone like Ihashn… Continue Reading →

Rotting Christ – Pro Xristou (Season of Mist)

Thirty-five years is a long time in music, and not just for metal. In the wake of some ridiculous actions committed by members of the early black metal scene in Scandinavia just over three decades ago, the notoriety birthed from… Continue Reading →

Pallbearer – Mind Burns Alive (Nuclear Blast)

There probably aren’t many more popular doom acts than Arkansas crew Pallbearer. They made waves with a series of well-regarded releases in the late 2000’s and teens, but their last record was actually “Forgotten Days” back in 2020. Of course,… Continue Reading →

High Desert Queen – Palm Reader (Magnetic Eye Records)

“Texas Desert Rock” is a music style that has been applied to Austin rockers High Desert Queen. The moniker is well deserved too. Their sophomore album, “Palm Reader” is not straight out desert rock. The four piece band delve into… Continue Reading →

Nightrage – Remains Of A Dead World (Despotz Records)

Time to wreck your neck and bang your head, Nightrage are back again, not that they have ever been away for long. For the uninitiated the group were formed by Greek musician Marios Iliopoulos way back in 2000 and this… Continue Reading →

Rhapsody Of Fire – Challenge The Wind (AFM)

Firmly claiming the term ‘stalwarts’ (and maybe even nudging towards ‘veterans’) of Symphonic Power Metal, Rhapsody Of Fire are a name familiar to so many. As they should be, almost thirty years since that ground-breaking fantastical debut “Legendary Tales” helped… Continue Reading →
