Nyrst – Orsok (Dark Essence)

Formed in 2013 and this being their debut album, Nyrst are another in the tidal wave of Icelandic black metal bands that have been out raiding over the last few years. This begins nicely with a cold and atmospheric intro,… Continue Reading →

Traveler – Termination Shock (Gates of Hell)

Spookily, along with fellow Canadians Riot City who Traveler recently toured Europe alongside, their debut self-titled release was my joint top album of last year. Unfortunately, like many, this tour was halted by Covid-19. As I witnessed them previously in… Continue Reading →

Abysmal Dawn – Phylogenesis (Season Of Mist)

My first experience of this US death metal band was a reissue of “From Ashes” in 2012 which was originally released in 2006. Since that time the band has released a further three albums containing their own blend of melodic… Continue Reading →

At The Altar Of The Horned God – Through Doors Of Moonlight (I, Voidhanger)

Featuring a quite mesmerising cover painted by one Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule, this debut promised something a little different if such care had been taken with the music as the cover art. I’m glad to say Heolstor, the musician, has certainly delivered… Continue Reading →

Demonic Death Judge – The Trail (Suicide Records)

The Ditch and the Delta – S/T (Prosthetic Records)

With a name like The Ditch and the Delta my expectation was to hear the blues; born from Mississippi, paying homage to the great blues artists while swigging from a bottle of moonshine.  That expectation was rather misguided, as the… Continue Reading →

Aara – En Ergô Einai (Debemur Morti)

There’s always been a desire to take metal onwards and upwards to its greatest extremes and only a damn-fool metalhead would begrudge that. I mean, that’s what brought us here in the first place right? Take Aara’s blend of high-pitched,… Continue Reading →

Ripped To Shreds – Luan (Pulverised Records)

The mastermind behind the Death metal project Ripped To Shreds, Andrew Lee is back and this time, with a new line up which includes members of Trenchrot, Death Fortress, Funebrarum and Gridlink, he is set to unleash the second full… Continue Reading →

Azath – Through A Warren Of Shadow (Pulverised Records)

Debut albums are funny things, often times I feel like no one cares about them. They can both help a band find their feet or instantly promote them to success. Overall they tend to exude that ‘I only like their… Continue Reading →

Hexvessel – Kindred (Svart)

If ever there was a time to take a brief respite from madness and apocalyptic extreme metal it is now and thankfully some relief is at hand. Just over a year after last album ‘All Tree’ Finnish forest folk band… Continue Reading →
