Pénitence Onirique – Nature Morte (LADLO Productions)

Back with their third “painting” it’s time to dip into the still life tapestry of these six strange masked figures from France. The group impressed with last album ‘Vestige,’ the striking cover of that particular release being a portrait but… Continue Reading →

Wayfarer – American Gothic (Century Media)

Like all nations of the world, the USA has its indigenous folk-esque genres such as country and americana. I’m quite pleased to say Wayfarer from Colorado picked the latter of those two because americana does not have the same sketchy… Continue Reading →

Nebelkrähe – Ephemer (Crawling Chaos)

At the dawn of a new age of war Germans Nebelkrähe have released a new album focusing on the ephemeral character of life and the fact that nothing lasts forever and everything can be over in the blink of an… Continue Reading →

Bewitched, Convicted, Necrochakal – Eightball Club, Thessaloniki 20/10/23

The performance of “Bewitched” in Thessaloniki was one of the most highly anticipated concerts in the city. Following their explosive show in Athens last year, Krisis Productions had announced a unique additional appearance of Bewitched in Greece. It’s important to… Continue Reading →

Tomb Mold – The Enduring Spirit (20 Buck Spin)

So, I’d heard some Tomb Mold in the past, and in fairness it’s been pretty hard not to have notice them on Metal Twitter (or X, as ham-fizzoged ethics-averse replicant Elon Musk has renamed it), as they’re often spoken about… Continue Reading →

Throat – We Must Leave You (Svart Records)

From the Godz ov War extreme metal factory come Abominated. This death metal band formed five years ago in Poland. Their stated intention was that of “digging out the rotten sounds the Swedish were providing in the early 90s”. I… Continue Reading →

Icarus Witch – No Devil Lived On (Cleopatra Records)

This is the sixth full length release from US traditional heavy metal band Icarus Witch. You may recognise some of the members as being part of Ironflame, a band previously covered by myself on these pages. With the opener ‘Heaven’s… Continue Reading →

Wratheon – Becoming Nil (Seek and Strike)

If the words speed, strength, satanism, short songs and heftiness are what draw you towards a new album or artist then Wratheon from the USA are one you might not want to overlook. Their debut release: Becoming Nil, is one… Continue Reading →

On Thorns I Lay – On Thorns I Lay (Season of Mist)

It’s been a couple of years since their last release, & the Greek sextet are back with their tenth album & first on Season of Mist. The album & current line-up are also different, so while vocalist Peter Miliadis, guitarist… Continue Reading →

Legendry – Time Immortal Wept (No Remorse)

As I mentioned in my 2019 review of ‘The Wizard and the Tower Keep’, Pittsburgh’s Legendry have already made a name for themselves in the epic metal underground, and yes, you can still draw comparisons to the greats of Manilla… Continue Reading →

Cécile Delpoïo – Tuolla (Self-Released)

As is unlikely to have gone unnoticed by anyone who’s read more than say…two of my past reviews, my favourite band of all time is Alcest, and has been for a very long time now. One of many reasons they’ve… Continue Reading →
