Skáphe – Skáphe² (I Voidhanger)

Neill Jameson isn’t the only member of Krieg causing musical chaos in a host of other acts such as Royal Arch Blaspheme, Lithotome etc. His partner in crime Alex Poole is also busy with and relatively new project Skáphe as… Continue Reading →

Beseech – My Darkness, Darkness (Despotz)

Welcome Back Beseech! Beseech, for those who are unfamiliar with the band, they were Gothic Metal before it really became Gothic Metal. Before Evanescence flirted with the charts and Nightwish appealed to the masses there was a bunch of bands… Continue Reading →

Arcana 13 – Danza Macabra (Aural Music)

Now, how could I not pick this one for review…! An album entirely based on, and influenced by, classic Italian horror and giallo films of the 60’s and 70’s. Arcana 13 clearly love their Bava, Fulci and Argento, and have… Continue Reading →

Anger As Art – Ad Mortem Festinamus (Old School Metal Records)

This is the fourth album, the second I have reviewed by Anger As Art and if their last effort ‘Hubris Inc.’ took you by the scruff of the neck and tore your head from your body, then this new one… Continue Reading →

Lightsucker – Zammal (Argonauta)

Finland, like the rest of Scandinavia has a knack for churning out high quality acts often associated with the death metal, black metal, doom metal and power metal sub genres of metal. I’ve brought this question up a few times… Continue Reading →

Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood – Christopher Speeth (Arrow)

This is the split that’s been hinted at since 2011 between one man metal act Panopticon (Austin Lunn) and Germany’s Waldgeflüster (forest whispers), aka Winterherz. The two musicians originally met in 2011, while getting drunk in Norway, parting with the… Continue Reading →

Miasmal – Tides of Omniscience (Century Media)

This is the first time I’ve caught up with Miasmal since their 2011 album, “Miasmal”, which I recall being pretty impressed with at the time. Since that time, the Swedish four-piece has released a split with fellow death / thrash… Continue Reading →

Atrocious Abnormality – Formed in Disgust (Comatose Music)

It’s quite refreshing when a band in any genre bucks the trends set by their peers. With most extreme death metal bands nowadays trying to outdo one another in terms of who can sound more slamtastic than the rest, Atrocious… Continue Reading →

Temple of Lies – From Sand (Attic Records)

Leicester’s Temple of Lies have hitched up their wagons and headed west – figuratively at least. What this quartet offer is stoner/desert rock with a metal edge.  It may be the Midlands connection but I get a bit of a… Continue Reading →

Saviours, Asomvel, Brule – London The Black Heart 25/2/16

To celebrate the release of ‘Palace of Vision’, California’s favourite stoner/thrash metal crossover band, Saviours, are embarking upon a 19-date strong tour of Europe. Tenth stop along the way is London’s Black Heart and they’re bringing some traditional heavy metal… Continue Reading →

The Witch Who Came From The Sea – Matt Cimber (Arrow)

Dredging up more shipwrecked treasure Arrow have embarked upon a great new idea introducing us to some rare and forgotten gems of yesteryear under the ‘American Horror Project’ moniker. This film has been released as part 1 in a box… Continue Reading →
