Seims – 3 + 3.1 (Birds Robe Records)

The title gives the game away: Seims is a math synth rock band, indeed Australia’s premier math synth rock band we’re told. Does anyone out there know of any others? I can’t say that I do. Well, “3” is their… Continue Reading →

Häxanu – Snare Of All Salvation (Amor Fati)

I always keep an ear out for anything involving instrumentalist Alex Poole as it tends to be interesting and a damn good listen. His blackened assault on things often takes on a psychedelic hue and throws the listener down a… Continue Reading →

Depravation – III: Odor Mortis (Lifeforce Records)

With this second album having a Roman numeral III suffixed in its title I thought it best to back track through this German bands discography to see whether, if any, there was some sort of path or channel towards this… Continue Reading →

Nox Formulae – Drakon Darshan Satan (Dark Descent)

And so the sound of song birds bounced around the forests, the scent of verdant, leaf-strewn soils drifting high into the pristine woodland canopy just as…. The clawed hand of Satan ripped through the fabric of reality and a single,… Continue Reading →

Temple of Void – The World That Was (Shadow Kingdom)

At first glance, Doom/Death and Detroit Motor City aren’t natural bedfellows. The city, which is close to my heart due to family connections, has a long tradition of great music; from Motown to garage, from Hardcore punk to Techno, a myriad of… Continue Reading →

Testament – Titans of Creation (Nuclear Blast)

Testament are quite easily one of my favourite thrash bands, and like the majority of them, come from the Bay Area. That could be because I was introduced to most of them by a kid from Oakland that was over… Continue Reading →

Live Burial – Unending Futility (Transcending Obscurity)

It’s nice to see bands grow, when you can remember seeing them as some tiny band in a pub only to witness them be signed to a more major label. It can of course ruin bands making them play to… Continue Reading →

Enepsigos – Wrath Of Wraths (Osmose)

A bit late getting to this one but the simple fact is that whilst the bigger labels and the commercial side of music is in a panic and pushing back releases the underground black metal world is parasitically spreading its… Continue Reading →

Paul Catten – The Beauty of Decay (S/R)

As we battle through a global pandemic, on lockdown, removed from normal life, contained within our own brick-built prisons, introspection and self-analysis are a natural by-product of this enforced hibernation. For those respecting the government’s wishes to remain inside and… Continue Reading →

Dool – Summerland (Prophecy)

It’s true that there is not a huge amount to look forward to at the moment and we have to take the pleasures where we can. Thank goodness for music and this is something that I and no doubt anyone… Continue Reading →

tētēma – Necroscape (Ipecac Recordings)

Whatever microtonal psychoacoustics are, they’re here. This comes along with otherworld groove, industrial noise, odd-time rock and “musique concrète”. This strange sounding combo with a theme based on isolation in the surveillance all adds up to fun, apparently. Without listening… Continue Reading →

Spell – Opulent Decay (Bad Omen Records)

Spell are an interesting 3 piece band from Canada on their third album. Purveyors of retro flavoured hard rock/metal and with two members of the band (the bassist and the drummer) sharing vocal duties. Aha! Just like fellow Canadians Triumph… Continue Reading →
