Pyromancer – Demo MMXV (Godz Ov War)

This pair of fire-starters known as Conqueror Horus & Master of Graveyard Torment originally released this self-described demo on 100 edition limited cassette via Grim Winds Records. Obviously liking what they heard Polish label Godz Ov War Productions have gone… Continue Reading →

Lemmy Kilmister: Life Beyond Motorhead Collateral Damage -Alan Burridge (Iron Pages Books)

It’s a bit surreal to be writing a review which has been at least co-created by someone who has had such a large part to play in the formative teenage years of my life. I’m not actually talking about Lemmy… Continue Reading →

Kawir – Father Sun Mother Moon (Iron Bonehead)

Back in the mists of time circa 1994 you may well remember Greek black metal act Kawir releasing a split vinyl with Jap nutters Sigh on our very own and newly reactivated Cacophonous Records label. Both bands have been working… Continue Reading →

Svarttjern – Dødsskrik (Soulseller)

With so many sub-genres within black metal it is fantastic to hear a band who ignore all trends and send us back 20 years or so with their true black metal annihilation which is what this Norwegian band does with… Continue Reading →

Midnight Eternal – S/T (Inner Wound)

Midnight Eternal have certainly been racking up the support slots in their native America, copping guest appearances for Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, Delain, Xandria, Doro and many more! And now that they’ve finally got their chance to release a full-length album… Continue Reading →

Hopeless Youth – Devil, Walk with Me (Rainville Records)

I was very impressed with the variety and intensity of Hopeless Youth’s album “Disgust (2014). Here come the Canadians again with this EP. From the outset, I was bouncing. With a riff to infect your brain, “The Garden” is hard,… Continue Reading →

The Zero Boys – Nico Mastorakis (Arrow)

“Kill Or Be Killed!” I clearly remember the cover art of 1986 feature by Greek director Nico Mastorakis lining the walls of ye olde video shop courtesy of Polygram who released it back in the day. I assumed I had… Continue Reading →

Joy – Ride Along! (Tee Pee)

What’s that shouty man want and where is that thundering rhythm coming from? Looks like San Diego’s psych rockers Joy have been at it again. Here they offer up a rock ’em, sock ’em follow up to 2014’s Under The… Continue Reading →

The Wretched End – In These Woods, From These Mountains (Indie)

This band was on my radar in 2010 solely due to the band members who comprise notably of Samoth, Nils Fjellström and Cosmo who you can look up if unfamiliar. The two previous albums struck a chord with me instantly… Continue Reading →

Tombstoned – II (Svart)

In 2013 I reviewed the remarkably similarly named Tombstones and Tombstoned (check the archives of Ave Noctum), and it seems that 2016 will see history repeating itself as Tombstoned release via the ever reliable Svart Records the simply and aptly… Continue Reading →

Discharge – End Of Days (Nuclear Blast)

So 40 years of punk eh? What a crock of shit all the “celebrations” have been to commemorate it all. Punk was never met to be acceptable and the people behind it were never supposed to be accepted by the… Continue Reading →
