Brodequin – Harbinger Of Woe (Season Of Mist)

Having formed back in 1998 it could be said that Brodequin are one of the true pioneers of Brutal Death Metal, if only their debut Instruments Of Torture had come out sooner than 2000. I think it would be a… Continue Reading →

Dödsrit – Nocturnal Will (Wolves Of Hades)

I admit that despite knowing the name I hadn’t really ever engaged with Dödsrit before this but with a PR sheet tossing ‘black metal hiking punks’ at me it kinda sets up expectations so when opener ‘Irjala’ comes at me… Continue Reading →

Waidelotte – Celestial Shine (Debemur Morti)

Comprising members of White Ward, Soen, Naoni Orchestra and others, this Ukrainian band combines black metal with melodic death metal, progressive metal and traditional folk singing and instrumentation. The album is about an individual’s journey through darkness and disappointment towards… Continue Reading →

The Neptune Power Federation – Goodnight My Children (Cruz Del Sur)

Ah, the return of the Australian / alien weirdo-classic rock act! I’ve been reviewing these guys for quite a while now, and I have to say that they’ve slowly but surely won me over. I have a fondness for classic… Continue Reading →

Attic – Return of the Witchfinder (Van Records)

It’s been 7 long years since this German bands last output. It is hard to compare them to any other band than Mercyful Fate (more so the King Diamond solo material), primarily from the vocal falsetto style and some of… Continue Reading →

Deadspace – Unveiling The Palest Truth (Immortal Frost Productions)

Don’t you just hate in when things get lost in space? Well it was cyberspace that gobbled up a load of promo emails from Belgian based label Immortal Frost Productions but liking their output I agreed to play catch up… Continue Reading →

Lindy-Fay Hella & Dei Farne – Islet (By Norse)

Wardruna are a project that exist in my peripheral vision.  On a quick search through my Plex account on my phone I have just one album Runaljod- Yggdrasil and I have a vague recollection of enjoying it but evidently not… Continue Reading →

Isenordal – Requiem for Eirênê (Prophecy Productions)

One of my favourite things about reviewing metal albums – and there are many – are those moments when you’ve spent so long poring over a single album that you’re temporarily sick to the back teeth of it and anything… Continue Reading →

Fall Of Serenity – Open Wide, Oh Hell (Lifeforce Records)

This German act may well have been forgotten as the sands of time passed. After releasing third album ‘The Crossfire’ way back in 2007 there was a long period of silence until they somewhat ironically broke it with 2023 single… Continue Reading →

Sextrash, Outlaw, Freefall & End Of Dawn – Eightball Club, Thessaloniki 17/2/24

Seeing a band live from Brazil is never disappointing. Especially two. In this case, you wouldn’t miss it. That night, along with the entire tour that Sextrash and Outlaw did in Europe, was something that no one should have missed…. Continue Reading →

Brother Dege – Aurora (Prophecy Productions)

A sentence from the original announcement for Brother Dege’s new album Aurora by his label Prophecy Productions I felt hit the bullseye, because it promised the very thing that a lot of people seek, myself included, from the music they… Continue Reading →

Hideous Divinity – Unextinct (Century Media)

I’m not quite sure why a band from Italy would want to include a couple of track titles in German as is the case here, but this band’s pedigree can’t be denied. “Unextinct” is Hideous Divinity’s fifth album release and… Continue Reading →
