Stillborn – Testimonio de Bautismo (Godz of War)

Frenzied violence greets us. But this is the deathly black world of Poland’s Stillborn, whose fifth album this is. Space is not allowed for compromise or mercy in the Polish metal scene, and it’s not here. All that is allowed… Continue Reading →

GHOLD – PYR (Ritual Productions)

From the rubble of Pyrford House, Brixton rises ‘PYR’. The second full length from South London duo, GHOLD, centres on a now demolished housing estate and site of protests and petitions from locals and residents not happy about seeing their… Continue Reading →

Gurt / Trippy Wicked and the Cosmic Children of the Night – GUPPY – (When Planets Collide)

Guppy is a split release and recording between two of the UK’s finest underground bands circulating in the doom/stoner/sludge market. The combination includes the same drummer Bill Jacobs and this was a unique release as both bands entered the studio… Continue Reading →

Atala – Shaman’s Path of the Serpent (S/R)

Out of the heat and dust of San Bernardino rumbles the trio entitled “Atala”.  Atala is either a 7th Century monk or an Italian make of bicycle. What is more likely in my mind is these lads take their moniker from… Continue Reading →

Alaric – End Of Mirrors (Neurot)

I have been keeping my beady ears on Alaric since their debut self released album in 2011 and follow up split with Atriarch the year later. In my opinion they are one of the most authentic sounding groups who tread… Continue Reading →

Glorior Belli – Sundown: The Flock That Welcomes (Agonia)

Glorior Belli has it all – the cool name, the knack for great imagery and a few cracking albums under its belt. Add to that a potentially intoxicating obsession with Bayou blues, slide guitar and black metal, and it’s a… Continue Reading →

Mantar- Ode to the Flame (Nuclear Blast)

At a mere three years old this Hamburg duo have created a moderate stir in the metal cesspool of late.  Comprising of vocalist /guitarist Hanno Klaenhardt and Erinc Sakarya on drums this gruesome twosome mix up elements of Black Metal, Doom… Continue Reading →

Elvaron – Ghost of a Blood Tie (Fantai’Zic Productions)

‘Ghost of a Blood Tie’ is the fifth album by this French quartet formed way back in 1993. I’m really not certain whether their older material is substantially heavier, but this new album is very easy listening with the occasional… Continue Reading →

The Levitation Hex – Cohesion (High Roller)

Formed in 2010 in Canberra, Australia, The Levitation Hex cite themselves as a retro-inspired death and thrash metal band. Citing influences along the classic prog and psychedelic style sound but delivered with the more metallic edge of the 80’s onwards… Continue Reading →

Aborted – Retrogore (Century Media)

Now I must confess that I’m a bit of a latecomer to the Aborted party having only got into the band a few years back when ‘Global Flatline’ came out. I can’t recall how I came across them but I… Continue Reading →

Rebaelliun – The Hell’s Decrees (Hammerheart)

Rebaelliun hail from a time when the Brazilian scene boasted a plethora of insanely fast, brutal bands thanks to Krisiun. Amidst the likes of Abhorrence, Mental Horror, Nephasth and those aforementioned legends, Rebaelliun stood out as the best of the… Continue Reading →

Parasit – A Proud Tradition of Stupidity (Cyclone Empire)

With recent releases by Extreme Noise Terror and Discharge – both blinding albums GO GET EM! – I was itching to get my ears around this bunch of brutality from Swedish D Beat Crusties Parasit. The band, formed in 2010… Continue Reading →
