Abyssion – Luonnon Harmonia Ja Vihreä Liekki (Svart)

Finnish black metal may just be one of my discoveries of the year. Ok, I’m not saying I’ve personally discovered it, invented it or destroyed the world, created a new one and declared a ban on any extreme metal that… Continue Reading →

Party Canon – Bong Hit Hospitalisation (Gore House)

With a name like Party Canon, one could easily think that you would be presented with some sugar and spice pop punk band, ready to sing about the joys of proms, milkshakes and some old shite. However what you are… Continue Reading →

Paganus Doctrina – Omnipotense Aeternae Diabolous (Ashen Productions)

Since they have been in existence in one form or another, on-and-off since 1995, you might expect that the characters involved with Paganus Doctrina would have released an album by now. But in fact ‘Omnipotense Aeternae Diabolous’ is their debut…. Continue Reading →

Svärta – Sepultus (A Sad Sadness Song)

The promise is of a land of contrasts – black and white, with no mid tempo. The promise is delivered over the course of this intensely dark production from Swedish band Svärta. Long cavernous screams and raw-sounding drum work signal… Continue Reading →

Prion – Uncertain Process (Comatose Music)

I suspect this Argentinean outfit chose their name based on its virus connotations rather than the bird reference but maybe due to the origin of the word from Greek meaning saw. However no matter what reason behind the moniker one… Continue Reading →

Verlies – Le Domaine Des Hommes (Hypnotic Dirge)

Verlies is black metal band from France with their debut album. Yes but there is so much more to this than you might expect from such a simple sentence. Naiwan or N from Lille in France has been involved in… Continue Reading →

Mare Infinitum – Alien Monolith God (Solitude)

Candlemass forever tainted my view of doom metal with a style that was as much bred from powerful (rather than power) 1980s metal as it was classic 70s doom. An ultra-melodic, hyper-doom style all of its own that I now… Continue Reading →

Blackdrawn – S/T (S/R)

Thessaloniki has been one of the hotbeds of creativity for Greece throughout the country’s long and rich history, giving the country some of its best composers, musicians and other creative artsy-types. The latest offering which is more suited to my… Continue Reading →

AC/DC, Vintage Trouble, Wembley Stadium, 4/7/15

Wembley is a place I have always wanted to go, and not just purely for music reasons either. I’m an Everton fan, so naturally I can count on one hand the number of times we have managed to make it… Continue Reading →

Interview – Exodus

I was scheduled to interview Exodus on their second night at the Underworld, and it’s a jolly good thing too, as it transpired that they’d missed all the interviews the night before owing to being stuck in Calais when French… Continue Reading →

Doomed – Wrath Monolith (Solitude)

Continuing Pierre Laube’s distorted vision of doom infested death metal is his fourth release and still possesses that despairing atmosphere of utter dread. Thematically the album is similar to the last one with the cover art being a nightmarish scene… Continue Reading →

Rosetta – Quintessential Ephemera (Golden Antenna)

Philadelphia based progressive metal/post-rock stalwarts Rosetta have a brand new album for your ears and minds; ‘Quintessential Ephemera’ scheduled for a July 3rd release is available now via Golden Antenna Records. Beginning with the beautifully measured opening track ‘After The… Continue Reading →
