The Bloodstained Butterfly – Duccio Tessari (Arrow)

There’s little danger of running out of giallo film for release in this country such was the huge proliferation of them to flood Italy after the massive success of Dario Argento’s directorial full length feature The Bird With The Crystal… Continue Reading →

MaidaVale – Tales Of The Wicked West (The Sign Records)

Who would’ve thought that it would take a band from Sweden to do the obvious and claim that so-often overlooked London Underground station as their own? Until now it has mainly reminded me of a rather mediocre Macc Lads song… Continue Reading →

Omnipotent Hysteria – Abattoir Of Slain Deities (New Standard Elite)

From the opening howl of feedback which brings in the first track of the album, “Cocooned Abomination” to the final moments of the closing track which is the title track of the release, “Abattoir Of Slain Deities” , this thirty-two… Continue Reading →

Eteritus – Following the Ancient Path (Godz ov War)

This is old school death metal from Poland, using a similar font for their logo as Entombed and Fatalist, you kind of know what to expect on this debut album, but that’s just fine by me. There’s a cross between… Continue Reading →

K-Shop – Dan Pringle (Bulldog Film Distribution)

I only heard about this after seeing a very attention catching trailer shared around by Cult Labs. It definitely made me want to see the film and luckily a link was provided via a PR company. It would be a… Continue Reading →

Morphinist – Terraforming (Sick Man Getting Sick Records)

This is the work of someone who unlike the name suggests is far from tranquilised! Argwohn aka Christopher Schwarz is the guy behind everything we hear on this project which has been active since 2013. In 3 short years he… Continue Reading →

Mussorgski – Creatio Cosmicam Bestiae (Godz Ov War)

How…? What the..? Where did these guys come from? Ok, ‘this guy,’ more accurately. And the short answer is ‘Poland’ but that’s the answer to a lot of other questions too and the word ‘Poland’ is not really going to… Continue Reading →

Bioscrape – Psychologram (Overdub Recordings)

This was a case of an album when a switch automatically opened in my head. I realised that after wrongly thinking everything sounded the same, in fact it was a case of appreciating this band’s personal mix of styles. Rumbustuous… Continue Reading →

Grotesque Ceremonium – Demonic Inquisition (Satanath)

This is a one man (Batu Çetin) project from Turkey, its old sounding death metal with a heavy bass presence which I find similar to the early DM scene, from all quarters of the world. For that I am thinking… Continue Reading →

T.S.O.L, The Dwarves, MDC & Hard Skin – London Underworld 3/8/16

Great line up this and a stop off on way to Rebellion Festival for many of the bands, perfect for those of us in London not able to take a holiday in the sun. Originally Mischief Brew were to open… Continue Reading →

Salem’s Pot – Pronounce This! (Riding Easy)

There can be little doubt that Swedish doom rockers Salem’s Pot have a sense of humour, and don’t take themselves too seriously. What makes me think that, I hear you ask for the purposes of this review? Well, with a… Continue Reading →

Deathwood – … And If It Were True? (Overdub Recordings)

If you look up ‘sucker’ on Wikipedia there’s probably a disambiguation page that says “See: Gizmo, always trying horror punk and always being disappointed .” Well halle-fucking-luja you can for once ignore that page: Deathwood nail it with a coffin… Continue Reading →
