Drunk Thrasher – Raining Vomit (Godz Ov War)

It appears that one of Poland’s premier extreme metal labels has decided to pick up this EP for a further push as originally it was released as a four tracker in 2022. This latest version comes with the said EP… Continue Reading →

Praise the Plague – Suffocating in The Current of Time (Lifeforce)

Before we get started, I’d just like to take a moment to appreciate what an absolute belter of an album title we have here. All of the age-old stereotypes (that are generally unfair, but also not necessarily inaccurate) about how… Continue Reading →

Eternal Storm – A Giant Bound To Fall (Transcending Obscurity)

Spanish outfit Eternal Storm are back again with the follow up to their highly rated debut album ‘Come The Tide’. Their offering of Melodic Death Metal with progressive leanings blew me away and in anticipation of this release, I revisited… Continue Reading →

Gvllow – Twin Flames (Sumerian Records)

What do we have here? A place, dimly lit, with plastic flowers, vacant, spiritual pictures on its walls, odd-coloured carpets and even odder personnel. An old-fashioned American funeral parlour. How did we get here? Well, the intro of the album… Continue Reading →

Devastator – Conjurers of Cruelty (Listenable Records)

Devastator have been slaving away in the UK extreme metal underground since their inception in 2017 and are finally reaping the rewards for their consistent hard work with an ever increasing fanbase and reputation. Where Devastator are perhaps at their… Continue Reading →

Spider God – The Killing Room (Repose Records)

It’s practically impossible to keep up with Spider God and the veritable jigsaw puzzle of releases coming from prime composer George. This is actually the second that has been officially classed as an album following on from 2022’s ‘Fly In… Continue Reading →

Eventide – Waterline (Aesthetic Death)

I’m always a sucker for “improvised electronic ambient sonicscapes” which is how this album is described. There are bands called Eventide from the USA and Sweden, but this one is a recent offshoot of the French progressive death doom band… Continue Reading →

Stygian Crown – Funeral for a King (Cruz Del Sur)

The return of Stygian Crown has come just at the right time. Their 2020 album, “Stygian Crown” saw them obtain my second best record of 2020, and I’ve been waiting for an excellent epic doom album since the last Thronehammer… Continue Reading →

Amaranthe – The Catalyst (Nuclear Blast)

Amaranthe are a band that set the trend rather than follow in their Modern Metal genre and are surely the best known band to employ a female vocalist alongside two male vocalists, one harsh, one clean sung. They are a… Continue Reading →

Traveler – Prequel to Madness (No Remorse)

So, is this a difficult third full length release? No…, this expands upon their former ‘Termination Shock’ and provides a better balanced listen. If you are not familiar with this traditional heavy metal band, then they are akin to the… Continue Reading →

Vircolac – Veneration (Sepulchral Voice)

I think it’s fair to say that Ireland’s death metal dark horses, or dark werewolves even, Vircolac take their time in releasing music. This is their second full length, after 2019’s dark but insightful ‘Masque’. They play death metal that… Continue Reading →

Morta Skuld – Creation Undone (Peaceville)

I guess you get it with every genre of music but I always find it strange how odd albums from seemingly underground bands go on to become so highly regarded. Dying Remains by Morta Skuld is such a case. You… Continue Reading →
