Lizzies – Good Luck (The Sign Records)

Spain’s all female traditional metal group, Lizzies, have been all over the internet. My main interest started when they announced a London show at the excellent Live Evil festival. Since then, the demo material has been burning my cd player… Continue Reading →

Piss Vortex – Future Cancer (Indisciplinarian)

After reviewing the last offering from Danish grinders Piss Vortex I said I wouldn’t be playing it again in a hurry as it fair did my head in. With a new EP landing in my inbox I did go back… Continue Reading →

Doom Over London Part 2 – London Dome 26/3/16

Today things get really busy. Within ten minutes of doors opening a band is on at the Boston Arms Music room, the second they finish another starts upstairs at The Dome. This is the case all day with 4 groups… Continue Reading →

Moonsorrow – Jumalten Aika (Century Media)

Let me start by being completely upfront. This is Moonsorrow’s best album for more than a decade. Perhaps even one of their best yet. It’s a melting pot of all that has gone before and if you’re not hooked in… Continue Reading →

Karma To Burn – Mountain Czar (Rodeostar)

Since time immemorial man has been hitting big things with smaller things to make noise for pleasure. For twenty of those years Karma To Burn have been doing the same thing. Today, they are still rattling out their special brand… Continue Reading →

The Bendal Interlude – Reign Of The Unblinking Eye (Black Bow)

Back in the early to mid 2000’s, Liverpool was a hotbed for promising metal bands. You had Ogun who played a pounding, heavy groove based metal style, Obsolete who were a fantastic pseudo-death metal act, Metro Manila Aide who were… Continue Reading →

Love Sex Machine – Asexual Anger (Lost Pilgrims Records)

Get up. Get on up. Stay on the scene. “Which scene?” I hear you cry. Well gentle reader that would be the filthy, riff filled sludgecore scene – cos that is what these fellas from Lille are offering. Starting life… Continue Reading →

The Witch – Robert Eggers (A24)

“Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?” Robert Eggers makes his film debut with ‘The Witch’ – this eerie New England folktale enraptured audiences at Sundance and breathes life into a genre oversaturated with corny jump scares and found footage disasters…. Continue Reading →

Novembre – URSA (Peaceville)

It’s amazing. I can’t describe it any other way. When one of my absolute favourite bands releases an album after nine years of nothing, at least in the album-releasing sense, it is just amazing. “Classica” (1999), “Novembrine Waltz” (2001), “The… Continue Reading →

Yuma Sun – Watch Us Burn (Membran)

This is one of those albums to saddle up and hit the dusty trail with as these Norse troubadours are much more of the cowboy than the Viking variety. Guitar, fiddle, trumpet and double bass are all employed as they… Continue Reading →

Ill Omen – Ae Thy Rift (Nuclear War Now)

The brand of occult black metal that Ill Omen excels at exists somewhere in the realms between Deathspell Omega dissonance, funeral doom and pure ritualistic noise. It’s the kind of album that’s probably going to click right into your listening… Continue Reading →

Martyr – You Are Next (Into the Limelight Records)

Heavy/power/thrash can be used to describe a multitude of bands and their disciplines, it’s always a very general description for me this one. This Dutch band released their first demo back in 1982 with its great title “If It’s Too… Continue Reading →
