Wolfgang – Castle In The Woods (Fuzzpanzer)

Wolfgang’s history goes back a fair way despite “Castle In The Woods” being only their second album. Having released their first work in 1998 –“Welcome To The Cactus Mountains”, the Norwegians have had numerous distractions to take them away from… Continue Reading →

Hammer fight – Profound and Profane (Napalm)

Described as “Whisky drinkin’, Beer guzzlin’ bro’s”, Hammer Fight hail from Atlantic City, New Jersey, also known as the East Coast’s den of debauchery. Comprised of a copious amount of sleaze, dashes of classic metal, hard rock, punk and thrash… Continue Reading →

Blood Ceremony – Lord Of Misrule (Rise Above)

It’s been three years since Canadian’s Blood Ceremony draped us in their rich and Eldritch Darkness and time has been spent constructing a new album that has plenty going on in it both musically and thematically. Delving into esoteric and… Continue Reading →

Enslaved & Vulture Industries – London The Dome 17/3/16

It’s St Patrick’s Day and people are out celebrating in the very Irish pub below the venue tonight; no plastic paddies here! The rest of us are about for a different type of cultural heritage due to a Viking invasion… Continue Reading →

Red Eleven – Collect Your Scars (Lifeforce)

There’s certainly an early 90’s vibe about Red Eleven’s sound. The soulful mid-range vocals and inimitable groove that runs throughout their third album “Collect Your Scars” is very indicative of that era, but Red Eleven are from Finland…and that means… Continue Reading →

Purgatory – Omega Void Tribvnal (War Anthem)

When I saw Purgatory’s name pop in the reviews list, I must say that I was more than curious to see how these Germans have evolved over the years. My first (and only) experience of them was their debut ‘Damage… Continue Reading →

Universe217 – Change (Ván)

It’s good to see that metal is finally moving away from what has become a bit of a well-worn cliché, the female operatic singer. Not that I’m not partial to the odd bit of Floor, Tarja or Liv, but come… Continue Reading →

American Head Charge – Tango Umbrella (Napalm)

From their pseudo-industrial beginnings, American Head Charge have always been an intense bunch. Billed as part of the Nu-Metal wave which swamped the early 2000’s with their second album, “The War Of Art” which was produced by legendary producer Rick… Continue Reading →

Amon Amarth – Jomsviking (Sony)

For me, the band Amon Amarth immediately conjures up memories of rousing nights of Viking Metal in the 00s. They are one of those bands who have a template sound yet never fail to inspire with their pumping, steaming melodies…. Continue Reading →

Beastmaker – Lusus Naturae (Rise Above)

Beastmaker  are from Fresno California but from the opening toll of an ominous bell you just know that they really wanna be from the West midlands 40 years ago.  Lusus Naturae is Latin for freak nature. This is not freakish… Continue Reading →

Crisix – From Blue to Black (Listenable)

‘From Blue to Black’ is the third album by this Spanish quintet from Barcelona. They’ve been around for 8 years now and have received accolades for best Spanish upcoming band for their début album in 2011. Now the new album… Continue Reading →

Illusions Dead – Celestial Decadence (S/R)

Chaps, you almost lost me. To explain why Illusions Dead – a four piece from Finland, producing extreme blackened-death metal almost had me turned off completely, I have to tell you a story. Some *ahem* twenty-five years ago, my tape… Continue Reading →
