Exhorder – Defectum Omnium (Nuclear Blast)

It’s only been 5 years since their last offering, so nearly 6 times shorter than the last wait we had to endure. But sadly this time Vinnie LaBella isn’t returning, so it’s just Kyle Thomas from the original line up… Continue Reading →

Hadit – Metaphysical Engines Approaching The Event Horizon (I, Voidhanger)

I just picked this off the lists, not knowing the name, because of ‘cosmic’ ‘Lovecraft’ and ‘black/death’ plonked in the description if I’m honest. No previous knowledge of these Italians, but being let down too many times by other death… Continue Reading →

Suicidal Angels – Profane Prayer (Nuclear Blast)

Greece, a land with a rich history of culture is rightfully seen as a place fruitful in the creation of many fine metal and alternative bands, and thrash metal is no stranger at that. Despite being more acquainted with the… Continue Reading →

Volcandra – The Way of Ancients (Prosthetic Records)

Another week, another instalment of The Weirder End of the Press List, and this time we have the many and varied delights of Volcandra, with their second full-length album, The Way of Ancients. Incidentally, this is also an episode of… Continue Reading →

Tvinna – Two – Wings of Ember (By Norse)

Well, this is a difficult one. Maybe I’m having trouble rating the album because it’s neither metal nor dark nor extreme and thus different from the majority of the stuff we review. Or maybe the difficulties that I’m having stem… Continue Reading →
