Nachtzeit – Sagor I Natten (Nordvis)

I was having a good laugh (to myself as nobody else was listening) about the amount of requests coming in to review limited edition teenage kvlt misanthropy demos released around the festive season. I certainly don’t follow any traditional bullshit… Continue Reading →

Celeste, Vampillia, Violent Magic Orchestra, Hemelbestormer, Izah – London Underworld 17/12/16

The last gig of the year at the Underworld sees 2016 out with a bang, with some of heaviest and craziest bands that post metal and avant-garde currently has to offer. Owing to car troubles, original openers Opium Lord are… Continue Reading →

Klimt 1918 – Sentimentale Jugend (Prophecy)

Every now and then, a record comes out of the blue that takes you totally by surprise – and Klimt 1918’s first album in eight years is very much one of those releases. The initial signs were not hugely promising… Continue Reading →

Mayhem – De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive (S/R)

It’s become increasingly more popular of late for bands to play albums in their entirety live and if it is one with historic importance, why not in my opinion. Fans enjoy it and generally it is a draw that’s enough… Continue Reading →

Castigator – The Recommencement (S/R)

With a single demo out in 2011 this German band releases their first EP which is short but distilled to give five thrash based songs that mix in shreds of death metal too. The title track opens this with a… Continue Reading →

Last of the Giants: The True Story of Guns N’ Roses – Mick Wall (Orion)

If you’ve been following Guns N’ Roses for the past three decades, like journalist Mick Wall has, the idea of getting it all between the pages of a single tome must have been both thrilling and agonising in equal measure…. Continue Reading →

Sacrificio – Guerra Eterna (Iron Bonehead Productions / Nuclear War Now! Productions)

This debut release, translated as ‘Eternal War’ I believe, comprises of a trio of Spaniards who wear more spikes, bullet belts, chains than most of the old thrash acts of the 80s combined and completed by headgear that looks like… Continue Reading →

Coldborn – Lingering Voidwards (Final Sacrifice Records)

Heading up this band is the extremely talented and creative Norgaath who has his black heart in various other bands and is accompanied on this release by Menthor (Enthroned) and also some guest vocal appearances by a couple of people… Continue Reading →

Craving – By the Storm (Apostasy Records)

I first heard Craving from Germany earlier this year on Sex to 9 with Maria on TotalRock and promptly got At Dawn their 2013 album. Craving mix up Power metal, Folk Metal and Melodic Death/ Black Metal to create a… Continue Reading →

October 31 – Metal Massacre 31 (Hells Headbangers)

This latest offering from classic heavy metal fanatics October 31 is a slightly different affair to normal. Rather than being a new studio album with their own songs, the group have decided to pay tribute to the legendary heavy metal… Continue Reading →

1000 Mods – Repeated Exposure To… (Ouga Booga and The Mighty Oug)

Greece seems to have a talent pool of stoner inspired bands. 1000 Mods sit happily amongst them and new album, “Repeated Exposure To…” is a continuation of the band’s growing output. Having supported bands like Graveyard, The Black Keys and… Continue Reading →

Gohrgone – Finis Ixion (Great Dane Records)

The good run by Great Dane Records continues, with this cheeky little release coming late in the year. I’d not heard anything of Gohrgone before, but a little snurgling around the internet told me a couple of factoids: they’re from… Continue Reading →
