Tad Morose – St Demonius (Despotz)

It was their name that got me interested in Tad Morose back in the Nineties. We were all still using the word ‘tad’ a lot at that time, like “I’m a tad tired today” or “it’s a tad windy out… Continue Reading →

Ripper – Third Witness (Black Widow)

Firstly, this is not as I first suspected, a release from the leather lunged air-raid siren vocal chorded singer for hire Mr Owens, rather a release from the resurrected eighties Texan metal heads. That said, first track on ‘Third Witness’… Continue Reading →

Sonick Plague – S/T (Pavement Music)

These songs appeared in 1988, this is a re-recorded album of the ‘What’s The Purpose’ album, formed firmly in the depths of classic thrash metal with a touch of crossover from the vocals on this more up to date version…. Continue Reading →

Soulfly – Archangel (Nuclear Blast)

When it comes to South American metal musicians, there are none more recognisable than Max Cavalera. Co-founder of Sepultura, the rhythm guitarist and vocalist has been a standard bearer for metal since the mid-late 80’s producing some of the finest… Continue Reading →

King Dude – Songs of Flesh and Blood: In the Key of Light (Van)

King Dude has quite a colourful musical history; starting out in metal band before embarking on a solo career that would romanticise everything to do with the devil and all his demons. If we look back over TJ Cowgill’s earlier… Continue Reading →

Vardan – Between Fog And Shadows (Moribund)

I am really beginning to lose track here. This appears to be the fifth Moribund released Vardan album I have reviewed this year but looking into things a little further the Sicilian workhorse has gone and sneaked out a couple… Continue Reading →

Lewis and the Strange Magics – Velvet Skin (Soulseller)

Lewis and the Strange Magics are in musical style a classic psychedelic rock band from Spain. It is evident from listening to this album that the late 1960s and early 1970s had an influence on their sound with the crusty… Continue Reading →

Nightmare City – Umberto Lenzi (Arrow)

This fun, goofball slice of pasta Pura with a side dish of tapas and enchiladas is a very welcome addition to the Blu-Ray family. It’s not come without its fair share of trials and tribulations though and you may well… Continue Reading →

Witchsorrow, Sea Bastard, Brule – London The Black Heart 14/8/15

In anticipation of the release of their upcoming LP ‘No Light Only Fire’, Surrey doom trio Witchsorrow host a an evening of heavy gloom at the Black Heart, bringing Sea Bastard and Brule along for the ride. Named after the… Continue Reading →

Myrkur – M (Relapse)

Last year’s debut self-titled EP by Myrkur came practically out of nowhere causing quite large debate about the origins of the songstress behind it, the fact that it had been released by Relapse certainly fuelled the fire and cries about… Continue Reading →

Publicist UK – Forgive Yourself (Relapse)

When an album comes through for review that states “Recommended if you like… Joy Division”, it’s certain to draw my interest. In the case of Publicist UK (the UK part being a particular curse bestowed upon acts of a more…ahem…”gothic”… Continue Reading →

Rivers of Nihil – Monarchy (Metal Blade)

Upon initial listening, Rivers of Nihil’s second full length release, Monarchy, is a powerfully miserable record. If you can envisage a depressingly heavy version of Gojira, with furious technicality and oodles of dominant blast beats, then you pretty much have… Continue Reading →
