Cult Of Erinyes – Metempsychosis (Amor Fati)

The amount of bands, projects both past and present that Belgian Déhà is involved in is nothing short of stupefying. Under his own named project he put out around 13 releases last year and rest assured if not playing or… Continue Reading →

[ówt krì] – The Mountain (Signature Dark)

“Experience the enigmatic allure of [ówt krì]”, it is written. I can vouch for this, having listened to much of what Kenneth Kovasin, the artist behind [ówt krì], has created over the years. Based on previous offerings I expected ambient… Continue Reading →

Rope Sect – Estrangement (Iron Bonehead)

Long awaited by fans, the second full-length album of melancholic low-fi death rockers Rope Sect is finally here. Estrangement brings eight new songs of generous lengths, fitted into 43 minutes, and returns to the sound of the fan-favorite first album… Continue Reading →

Evildead – Toxic Grace (Steamhammer)

Is it just me or when you see Thrash fans, or any subgenre fans for that matter in single genre patch jackets you see some underground similarities. However, you often never bother to check those bands out despite seeing the… Continue Reading →

Priest – Dark Pulse (Blue Nine)

I absolutely bloody loved Priest’s last album ,2022’s Body Machine. It’s mix of cheesy 80’s synthwave and gothic noir was right up my neon lit alley. It featured in my top ten of the year and fuelled many a late… Continue Reading →

Vredehammer – God Slayer (Indie Recordings)

Atmosphere and intensity and much black metal can be expected on this, the fourth album from Norway’s Vredehammer. Let the nightmare begin. The sinister and darkly orchestral intro over, a thunderous metal wind blows up. The drums pound mercilessly. All… Continue Reading →

Moisson Livide – Sent Empèri Gascon (Antiq)

Hey, it’s not all doom and gloom round here and this one has an overriding feel of joie de vivre about it. We are off to SW France and Gascony where this side project of Boisson Divine dwell. Don’t expect… Continue Reading →

Strychnos – Armageddon Patronage (Dark Descent)

The PR muttered something about Danish band Strychnos being bound to no god, master or genre which amusingly is binding itself to a cliché by now. But nowt to do with band or album. So… not having heard their 2022… Continue Reading →

Göden – Vale Of The Fallen (Svart Records)

Well Göden basically is the collaboration of ‘Spacewinds’ (a certain Stephen Flam of legendary slow-mo deathsters Winter) with ‘Nyxta’ (Vas Kallas of indusrial/goth duo Hanzel Und Gretyl) and ex-Winter session keyboardist Tony Pinnisi. And if you’re guessing ‘so this is… Continue Reading →

Häxanu / Greve – Naturmystik (Purity Through Fire)

Mysticism and nature make for good bedfellows and so too do the bands on this split album, embracing the raptures of the elements through atmospheric black metal. The drab colours of the artwork may have you envisaging the cold, dark… Continue Reading →

Hemotoxin – When Time Becomes Loss (Pulverised Records)

An intersection of “forward-thinking Thrash and Prog Metal” is what’s offered by this US band. “When Time Becomes Loss” is their fourth album. Old school, technical thrash … such is “Morbid Reflections”. Round and round goes the riff in a… Continue Reading →

Nocturnus AD – Unicursal (Profound Lore Records)

When I covered this US bands album ‘Paradox’ I explained that Mike Browning formed this band after firstly creating After Death subsequent to his firing/leaving of the original Nocturnus in the 90s. After that he changed the name to Nocturnus… Continue Reading →
