Sarah Tipper – The Mega Metal Diary Of Cleo Howard 1998 (Fast Print Publishing)

Do teenagers keep diaries anymore? More importantly do teenagers even know how to write longhand anymore? Before loads of teenage readers of the site (probably around 5 of you) write in to put me in my place for such a… Continue Reading →

Coathanger Abortion – Observations Of Humanity (Comatose Music)

Being the vocalist for Amputated, I am of course no stranger to gore soaked brutal death metal, so when a band with a name like “Coathanger Abortion” pops up for review, then it’s safe to say I am the obvious… Continue Reading →

Russkaja – Peace, Love and Russian Roll (Napalm)

Every so often, when the review list comes out and I glance down it, looking for something which sticks out and looks like it could sound interesting. Enter Russkaja, the “kings of turbo polka metal”. Hailing from Vienna and playing… Continue Reading →

Nuclear – Formula For Anarchy (Candlelight)

If there is one thing South America has taught me about metal, it’s that their fans are extremely passionate and their metal bands are full on. Sepultura helped pave the way for more of these bands to surface and having… Continue Reading →

Deathhammer – Evil Power (Hell’s Headbangers)

Formed in 2005, the Norwegian duo of Deathhammer – Sergeant Salsten and Sadomancer – have slowly but surely been building a reputation for themselves. Signed to the excellent Hell’s Headbangers in time for 2012’s ‘Onward to the Pits’, that album… Continue Reading →

Thornesbreed – GTRD (Art of Propaganda)

Death-turned-black metal band Thornesbreed has returned from an extended hiatus with a following wind. Well, perhaps more of a hurricane, by the sound of a couple of these tracks, but with such deft control over those whistling winds that at… Continue Reading →

Interview – Dew Scented

Dew-Scented are one of the many staples of the continental thrash scene. Big riffs, killer grooves and a cutting sound has made them one of the first choices for many European shows, especially on the thrash and death metal touring… Continue Reading →

Powerwolf – Blessed & Possessed (Napalm)

Back in 2007 I bought Powerwolf’s second album called “Lupus Dei” an unremarkable heavy cum power metal album that I listened to and largely ignored. Fast forward to 2013 and I decided to give them another try with “Preachers Of… Continue Reading →

Black Space Riders – Refugeeum (Black Space Records)

There is an old adage that goes if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all (dear editor, is that okay?  No!  Oh well.) Here comes the part of this review lark I hate the most, namely being… Continue Reading →

Vorage – S/T (Hellthrasher)

Who was responsible for the phrase “metal of death” which seems to be getting bandied around more and more at the moment? The way I look at it this is the death metal equivalent of ‘orthodox black metal,’ it’s pretty… Continue Reading →

Nachtterror / Altars Of Grief – Of Ash And Dying Light (Hypnotic Dirge)

This split showcases two Canadian bands, both have certain similarities and are particularly bonded in blood by the talents of guitarist Saint Wikk aka Erik Laboissiere who is guitarist and backing vocalist in both. There are plenty of differences between… Continue Reading →

Albatross – Fear from the Skies (Transcending Obscurity)

I enjoyed this Indian heavy metal bands outing on the split with Vestal Claret (‘The Kissing Flies’) back in 2012, and I did hear some sound samples prior to receiving this album, but I wasn’t totally convinced if I am… Continue Reading →
