Inver – On This Earth (S/R)

On This Earth is the rather short but appealing and concise debut album of Inver, a goth metal/rock three piece from Cheltenham. The band members come from diverse musical backgrounds – extreme metal, alternative acoustic, and traditional folk –, but… Continue Reading →

Zmarłym – Ziemie jałowe (Godz Ov War)

Time to polish up the Polish once more as we take on this band from the picturesque looking (well at least on an image search) Końskie, Świętokrzyskie region of the country. The band name appears to translate to The Deceased… Continue Reading →

Madder Mortem – Old Eyes, New Heart (Dark Essence)

It’s a case of old favourites licking raw wounds here as Norwegian progressive metal group Madder Mortem return with their eighth album and follow up to 2018 release Marrow. Although in recent years the group have stuck together like a… Continue Reading →

Dymytry – Five Angry Men (AFM Records)

I sense humour here but seeing a song titled “1939”, perhaps not. The theme of that one is fairly obvious, but this Czech modern metal band also cover online bullying and nuclear destruction. But before we get the idea that… Continue Reading →

AWAP – Mongrels (S/R)

There’s no shortage of bands who put creativity and a hard-working ethos above all thoughts of anything resembling fame and wealth. They are just happy making a racket, playing the toilet circuit and capturing some attention over their short time… Continue Reading →

La Mer – Tetrahedra (Godz Ov War)

This album was given the very brief description of Black Rock Country when I spied it in the list of ready and willing releases. Gotta say that description intrigued me. I was envisaging something like the Canadian terror country of… Continue Reading →

I Don’t Do Drugs, I Am Drugs – ST (S/R)

Last summer I was lucky enough to get a guided tour around The Bestiary, debut album by Aberdeen based band Cyclops Cataract. Building upon the foundations of previous EP ‘Swallow The World’ it was an intriguing and genre-shifting release far… Continue Reading →

Dominion Of Suffering / Phobonoid – Split (Godz Ov War)

Two bands, each with three tracks are presented on this split album and we are promised “Over 40 minutes of cosmic despair, madness and pain.” Sounds like a challenge as far as I am concerned and with void-dwelling cover art… Continue Reading →

Sgàile – Traverse the Bealach (Avantgarde)

The concept behind this second album by the Glaswegian band Sgàile is interesting: “Traverse the Bealach is that of a nomadic traveller in post-apocalyptic Scotland, trying to figure out his fate and facing the elements while travelling north, battling inner… Continue Reading →

Stuka Squadron – Interview

Bullets can’t kill them. Daggers? Hatchets? Fat chance. Not even ill-advised splinter groups of Iron Knights could completely destroy these wretched revenants. From beyond, beyond the grave, the Stuka Squadron have roared back into unlife with the magnificent Zeppelin album…. Continue Reading →
