Heimdalls Wacht – Ut de Graute Olle Tied (Deel II) – Land der Nebel (Black Skull Records)

You have to admire a band that kicks off an album with a genre-defining epic that most other bands would have saved until the very last. The 13 minute pagan metal standard bearer – and add a couple of minutes… Continue Reading →

Akarusa Yami – Heavy Climb (S/R)

Nottingham based five piece Akarusa Yami have had a lot of attention around them over the past few years. Having played BOA twice as well as securing a slot at Trondheim Metal Fest, the progressive influenced technical metal band certainly… Continue Reading →

Xentrix, Acid Reign, Shrapnel – London Underworld 4/10/15

Walking down into the depths of The Underworld was relatively easy this evening. Perhaps owing to Paradise Lost playing a couple blocks away and Annihilator a couple miles away. Either way it allowed for it to be a rather intimate… Continue Reading →

V/H/S/ Viral – (Koch Media Entertainment)

I should have been sent this on a dubious looking unmarked VHS cassette for review but sadly received a simple link to digitally stream the movie. Essentially though that is entirely what this series of films has been all about,… Continue Reading →

Seamount – Nitro Jesus (The Church Within)

If you are new to this here name then a) welcome, come on in and b) fair warning that Seamount are not here to shake their dicks for you. Understood? Good. So what are they here to do? Really? Well… Continue Reading →

Zardonic – Anti Hero (Eone Entertainment)

You might find Zardonic in the “World” section of your local record outlet but it’s unlikely. Here’s US based Venezuelan keyboardist, DJ, composer, producer and remixer with a specialist field of heavy electronic dance music with a worldwide reputation and… Continue Reading →

Recitation – Carrion (Indisciplinarian)

This latest release from Danish doom-dealers Recitation claims to be a debut album, the fact that these guys released a self-titled E.P. on cassette last year, can it be classed as a debut? Furthermore, ‘Carrion’ consists of just one track…. Continue Reading →

Annwn – Idris Awaits (S/R)

Here’s a real blast from the past. This Welsh band got in touch reminding that we had reviewed their previous demos via past websites when they were active between 2006 and 2009. In that time the band have not split… Continue Reading →

Malevolent Creation – Dead Man’s Path (Century Media)

Here we have album number twelve from Malevolent Creation. Aside from mentioning their status as one of the pioneering bands from the early ’90s Floridian death metal scene, I think it’s fair to assume that they require little introduction. Five… Continue Reading →

Queensrÿche – Condition Hüman (Century Media)

Well it was bound to happen, both Queensrÿche and Operation: Mindcrime releasing albums pretty close to each other. You have to wonder whether this was intention or just coincidence but having already dealt with Geoff Tate’s musical disappointment, maybe his… Continue Reading →

Alucarda – Raw Howls (The Church Within)

I had just finished reading the excellent recent re-issue of Kim Newman’s ‘Johnny Alucard’ when I received ‘Raw Howls’ by Alucarda; coincidence? Well, yes as it goes. However, without giving away too many plot points to those who may want… Continue Reading →

Antimatter – The Judas Tales (Prophecy)

I think it’s fair to say that Antimatter have been finding their way since forming about 15 years ago. “The Judas Tales” is their sixth album. Classic rock, gothic, melancholic art rock – however you want to describe their style,… Continue Reading →
