Degial, Vorum & Ataud – London Unicorn 2/6/16

Another gig we were lucky to get due to bands having transport and accommodation costs pulled from under their feet following the collapse of Temples Festival in Bristol. Other shows had been booked around it and some bands were determined… Continue Reading →

Throane – Derrière-Nous, La Lumière (Debemur Morti)

Anyone who picked up Ovtrenoir’s debut EP earlier this year may already have encountered the depths of intensity plumbed by DehnSora. His latest project to emerge, Throane, is even more crushing in many respects and much, much darker. A sonic… Continue Reading →

Oath – Mustan Liekin Veljeskunta (Immortal Frost)

Occasionally when black metal bands progress or step away from the confines of their genre to widen their sound, the results can often be exhilarating, and by the same token, there are bands who just wanna party like it’s the… Continue Reading →

Cauchemar – Chapelle Ardente (Nuclear War Now)

With full length album number two, ‘Chapelle Ardente’ ups the stakes in terms of quality of song writing in comparison to this Canadian nightmare’s last album ‘Tenebrario’. Similar is the heavy/doom metal flavour with an added peppering of NWOBHM, the… Continue Reading →

Astronoid – Air (Blood Music)

This is the first full length album of self-proclaimed dream thrash-shoegaze metal from Astronoid out of the USA and follows two previously released EP’s. Thrash and shoegaze sound like an interesting combination. The band explain this away by referring to… Continue Reading →

Mutoid Waste Company – Punkx – London Granary Square 4/6/16

Sleep Of Monsters – II: Poison Garden (Svart)

Sleep Of Monsters first album hit me so hard from out of nowhere that I’m still recovering from it and the album shares a place with Warning’s ‘Watching From A Distance’ as music that can still break me. Second time… Continue Reading →

Nervosa – Agony (Napalm)

Well, to say I haven’t been sat there waiting for this since August last year when Fernanda Lira, bassist and vocalist for the Brazilian thrash power trio Nervosa told me they planned to hit the studio in the start of… Continue Reading →

The Vision Bleak – The Unknown (Prophecy)

There’s no denying that when you are a fan of a band a press release bandying about phrases like “reinvention”, “new beginning” and “second birth” can be very worrying. Hideous thoughts of a Gothic Bon Jovi flash through your mind…. Continue Reading →

Le Scimmie – Colostrum (Red Sound)

Following the release of their debut ‘Dromomania’, Italian doomsters, Le Scimmie, took a four year break, however, it’s more than apparent that the trio were anything but idle; 2016 sees them with a major change in their small line-up and… Continue Reading →

Jucifer, Undersmile, Swampmother – London The Black Heart 31/5/16

In light of the recent Temples Festival cancellation, attendance for this show tonight has likely spiked, as London locals sack off the idea of Bristol in favour of seeing the mighty Jucifer at their local Camden boozer instead. It’s a… Continue Reading →

Virus – Memento Collider (Karisma)

This is one Virus I never mind catching even if it has been more than mere antibiotics that have held it off since 2011 album ‘The Agent That Shapes The Desert.’ Stemming from one of the most creative and revered… Continue Reading →
