Svneatr – Never Return (Prosthetic Records)

Exploring themes as various as modern-day warmongering, space colonisation and declining mental health, progressive black metal band Svneatr are here releasing their third album. Solid and heavy is “Mechanical Wolves”, which gets us under way. This is a heavy metal… Continue Reading →

Missiles – Weaponize Tomorrow (Svart)

Missiles from Malmö, Sweden, want to Weaponize Tomorrow, and rightly so, because without weapons Tomorrow might not survive. The future, if we are to have one, certainly needs help defending itself. However, there is one small problem. How can it… Continue Reading →

Bat – Under The Crooked Claw (Nuclear Blast)

I was meant to see Bat back in 2020. They were on a bill in London with Napalm Death, Rotten Sound and EyHateGod.  I decided not to go in the end. I was due to see all the bands later… Continue Reading →

Riot (V) – Mean Streets (Atomic Fire)

Riot (the V has something to do with the number of vocalists or something) have been around since before most of you were born. 1975. First release a couple of years later. I’m old and even I only took note… Continue Reading →

SYK – eartHFlesh (Season Of Mist)

I probably should have heard of this Italian band, after all they have been around for a decade but they had not hit my radar until they joined the Season Of Mist roster. It was none other than Phil H… Continue Reading →

Dystopia – De Verboden Diepte I: Veldslag op de Rand van de Wereld (Immortal Frost Productions)

Sometimes, when you review albums, it seems to take forever to pick apart a release enough to get some idea of where its creators are coming from. After all, a big part of reviewing – especially in metal – is… Continue Reading →

Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats – Nell’ Ora Blu (Rise Above Records)

‘Giallo’, noun. A genre of Italian cinema of murder mystery fiction that often contains slasher, thriller, psychological horror, sexploitation, and less frequently, supernatural horror elements with a heyday from the late nineteen sixties to mid nineteen seventies. As starts to… Continue Reading →

Unearthly Rites – Ecdysis (Prosthetic Records)

Utter filth! It should be banned. This is what Mary Whitehouse was trying to protect us from. She was right. Won’t someone think of the children!???? Don’t worry I have not taken leave of my senses and also, fear not… Continue Reading →

Blazing Eternity – A Certain End Of Everything (Mighty Music)

It’s amazing when you hear a band for the first time, then discover that they’ve been around for over 30 years. Granted there was a major hiatus between their second album in 2003 and this one. The three core members… Continue Reading →

Baron – Beneath the Blazing Abyss (Transcending Obscurity)

Straight out of the mean streets of Helsinki come the five-piece of Finnish ear-manglers known as Baron. It turns out that this is their first album, after a smattering of Eps, a single and a demo since 2016. Their PR… Continue Reading →

Red Rot – Borders of Mania (Hammerheart Records)

The title sounds about right. I expected nothing but creative interpretations of extreme metal weirdness from former Ephel Duathers Davide Tiso and Luciano Lorusso George, who comprise half of this band. It was no surprise to read the promoter’s description… Continue Reading →

Rossometile – Gehenna (S/R)

Italian Symphonic/Gothic Metal band Rossometile may be an unfamiliar name to many (I know it was to me), but “Gehenna” is actually their seventh album in twenty years, the majority of which have been self-released. This album is the third… Continue Reading →
