Evoke Thy Lords – Boys! Raise Giant Mushrooms in Your Cellar – Solitude

Sometimes I get pissed off at having to review yet another cookie cutter, cookie monster vocal dominated download, and I seriously consider ditching this reviewing lark; this is definitely not one of those times folks. Evoke Thy Lords are one… Continue Reading →

Inside Metal…Pioneers of LA Hard Rock and Metal (Part 2) (Wienerworld)

This is the second in the series covering the LA hard rock and metal scene, this period covers 1975 to 1981. The format is the same as volume 1, lots of interviews with people who were around at the time… Continue Reading →

District 97 -In Vaults (Laser’s Edge)

Chicago based progressive metal band District 97 have received critical acclaim for their work so far with members of/formerly of the likes of King Crimson, Asia, Transatlantic, Yes and Genesis all singing their praises along with Rolling Stone magazine throwing… Continue Reading →

Luna – The Other Side Of Life (Solitude)

I really enjoyed the last debut album ‘Ashes To Ashes’ by one man act Luna. This Ukrainian project is the work of DeMort also of Amily and Ashes was a one track epic near hour long instrumental feast. Although that… Continue Reading →

The Happiness Of The Katakuris – Takashi Miike (Arrow)

Regular readers to these film reviews maybe shocked to know that this writer does NOT do Romcoms or Musicals! Of course there is always the odd exception to the rule and if for instance one is made that throws say… Continue Reading →

Kingcrow – Eidos (Sensory Records)

My first encounter with Kingcrow was at ProgPower Europe in 2011 when they put on a polished performance of progressive rock/metal. Then came the album “In Crescendo” (2013) – still more reason to be impressed. Once again, Kingcrow have produced… Continue Reading →

The Other – Fear Itself (SPV)

Horror punk. A strange sub-genre that owes everything to Glenn, Doyle, Jerry and assorted Fiends  in the Misfits and has been kept alive by a myriad of chaps and chappesses  with black hair dye and a penchant for 50’s style… Continue Reading →

Calligram – EP (S/R)

Since 2011 the guys in what has become ‘Calligram’ have been writing aggressive, alternative hardcore in London. Morphing through members and band names, the current diverse line-up hailing from France, Italy, Brazil and the Basque Country, have started to garner… Continue Reading →

Judas Priest, Rockhal Box, Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg (16/06/15)

The return of Judas Priest to Luxembourg was, as you might expect, an exciting prospect. Once their support act – who on the night proved even more redundant than expected – was announced, that excitement dissipated somewhat. Still, Judas Priest… Continue Reading →

Interview – Armored Saint

Criminally overlooked, often considered underrated and going largely unrecognised by the masses, only really sought out and appreciated for those with a finer taste in all things thrash and 80’s metal, Armored Saint are one of the best bands out… Continue Reading →

Sunset in the 12th House – Mozaic (Prophecy)

Chill out music for the metal masses was something I alluded to two weeks ago, almost in jest, when I was reviewing a certain high quality and ethereally inclined funeral doom album. But I was surprised to so quickly come… Continue Reading →

Blizzard Hunter – Heavy Metal to the Vein (Pure Underground Records)

This band are from Lima, Peru and started life as a tribute act in 2006 and up until last year they were known simply as Blizzard – but there are umpteen bands called that! So that maybe the reason for… Continue Reading →
