Operation: Mindcrime – The Key (Frontiers)

1988, a young heroin addict named Nicky met with Sister Mary and the enigmatic Doctor X and rose through the ranks of a shadowy organisation before he was imprisoned for his deeds. This story, filled with social observations and criticisms… Continue Reading →

Witchsorrow – No Light, Only Fire (Candlelight)

Hampshire doomsters, Witchsorrow have delivered their best work yet with enough weight to drag you through the Earth’s crust. Prepare yourself. The band’s third opus finds them in fine form. “No Light, Only Fire” displays a progression and maturity that… Continue Reading →

Nightfell – Darkness Evermore (20 Buck Spin)

Having fallen into the gloomy pit of Nightfell’s first collection of post-apocalyptic dirges last year I was looking forward to having my hopes and dreams dashed against their gigantic riffs and off-beat melodies for a second time. While I wouldn’t… Continue Reading →

Funeral Throne – Threshold (Blut & Eisen)

It’s been a while since we last heard from West Midlands black metal crew Funeral Throne, six years to be precise. Their debut album ‘Nihil Sine Diabolvs’ was released through Satanas Rex in 2008, and now ‘Threshold’ has been given… Continue Reading →

Planks – Perished Bodies (Golden Antennae)

Ah yes Planks, I vaguely remember you from last album Funeral Mouth back in 2012 and looking back to the review made the puns about them having a wooden name and nailing things then. This will be the last time… Continue Reading →

Northwinds – Eternal Winter (Black Widow)

Parisian doom devotees Northwinds proudly present this, their fifth full length studio album, complete with its typically beautiful album cover by Stefano Sugni. To briefly and dismissively label this band simply as `Doom’ however, does them a great injustice in… Continue Reading →

IIVII – Colony (Consouling Sounds)

Deep into space or beneath the ocean are two places that music often transport you to and they are places that I certainly like to dwell mainly due to the fantasy elements as they are places that most of us… Continue Reading →

Lambs – Betrayed from Birth (Drown Within)

Italian hardcore four-piece, Lambs, while relatively new to the scene, have a playing style that will sound familiar to those fond of the likes of Hexis, Ancst and Cowards. This debut EP gives us a short, 13 minute taste of… Continue Reading →

Obsidian – No Self To Sue (MetalSchool)

Obsidian is the project and brainchild of German musician Sascha Pratnekar from Nürnberg. Originally beginning as a side project whilst he made his name in the Teutonic Death Metal scene, Sascha kept starting and stopping the project until he hit… Continue Reading →

Alfahanne – Blod Eld Alfa (Dark Essence)

This rag-tag-bag of Swedes pretty much came out of nowhere delivering their storming first album ‘Alfapokalypse’ onto the scene and giving it a real kick up the arse in the process back in early 2014. It’s an album that still… Continue Reading →

Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving – Yield To Despair (Pelagic)

Like a continuation from something unheard, Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving plunge into immediate doom with crushed bass and drums at a death march; any introduction for the uninitiated is left to imagery from the album art and title, ‘Yield To… Continue Reading →

Limb – Terminal (New Heavy Sounds)

If you were to play Limb’s sophomore record ‘Terminal’ straight after 2014’s self-titled debut, without knowing who they were, you’d probably assume you were listening to two completely different bands. This isn’t the case, however, it’s just the London four… Continue Reading →
