Marked up as psychic AOR, Sink’s latest offering is far more subversive than that initial description suggests. It is, after all, an exploration into the reasons behind man’s very existence, deconstructing his own self-awareness – pure waffle or a valuable… Continue Reading →
Ah, that’s more like it: None of this intro stuff, just straight in to a solid, doom/death riff and off this Swedish lot go with ‘Lament Of The Mortals’. Immediately there’s that late eighties, early nineties feel to the riff… Continue Reading →
The experienced black metal band behind this 20 minute EP are from USA with, as the name suggests, a Finnish influence. Apparently in their early days raw atmospheric aggression was the basis of their sound, but judging by “Traversing the… Continue Reading →
I was intrigued about this one after seeing it pop up recently on a certain auction site due to a US release. I did recognise the rather good original cover art but don’t remember this 1982 film (released in 84)… Continue Reading →
I confess that I’d never heard of Katia & Marielle Labeque’s Minimalist Dream House, but apart from being two acclaimed pianists, it seems that the aforementioned Katia and Merielle were the ones who invited the three musicians behind this work… Continue Reading →

From the ash to fog and rain. That’s where the first two tracks take us on this black metal adventure from Germany’s Der Rote Milan. This is the first time I’ve ever seen the poetry of Charles Baudelaire quoted as… Continue Reading →
Feeling like a limb has been cut off and you have been thrown to the wolves to defend for yourself? Well that’s certainly the political climate in the UK at the moment for many. Not that this should have anything… Continue Reading →
This is German dark metal band Freitod’s third album. I remembered the previous one “Regenjahre” (2012), which was compact and powerful yet for me lacked completeness. Listening to “Der Unsichtbare Begleiter” (The Invisible Companion), I find it impossible to get… Continue Reading →
