Kamelot – Haven (Napalm)

Now, I’ve been aware of Kamelot for many, many years but I’ll be honest, I’ve never been able to get massively excited about their material. My research tells me that their former vocalist – the splendidly monickered Roy Khan –… Continue Reading →

Spawned From Hate – Accelerated Butchery (S/R)

It’s relatively safe to say that any band heralding from the heavy metal capital of the world (Birmingham obviously), can be approached with an air of sunny optimism. This air of optimism is not wasted on Brutal Death lads Spawned… Continue Reading →

Warfaith – Wise Man Is Dead (S/R)

This is a French thrash band, although to my mind this isn’t thrash as I would normally categorise as being so. It’s very modern, very nineties and noughties, it has aggressive “core” vocals, a few riffs here and there that… Continue Reading →

Arcturus, Vulture Industries, Attic, Caronte and Krakow – London Boston Arms 7/5/15

Yes this line-up does look a slightly odd mix on paper. What happened was this was meant to be two shows with Arcturus, Vulture Industries and Krakow playing upstairs at the much bigger Dome venue. Ticket sales, no doubt due… Continue Reading →

Saturnian Mist – Chaos Magick (Candlelight)

Saturnian Mist have, over a relatively short space of time, developed a fairly unique and intense take on black metal. It was evident on their early stuff back in 2009 that they were pushing into something more individual than the… Continue Reading →

Shampoon Killer – 666 The Battle Of Discopylae (Hardbones Productions)

Oh fucking hell! I’m writing this review on the evening of 8th May 2015. The election results are in and here in the UK it looks like we’re gonna be diving headlong into another five years of Tory buffoonery. I… Continue Reading →

Darius – Grain (Hummus Records)

Hummus is one of those labels that goes under the radar yet turns out top quality music through various genres and young Swiss horde Darius is one such act whose debut here showcases a maturity in song writing well beyond… Continue Reading →

Tony Mills – Over My Dead Body (Battlegod)

Tony Mill’s is probably best known as the ex-TNT vocalist, although this Midland’s born singer has also spent some time with Shy and Serpentine, and if you search hard enough, there’s some guesting for Cerebral Fix too via his initial… Continue Reading →

Tengger Cavalry – Blood Sacrifice Shaman (Metal Hell)

OK, if you are already aware of this Mongolian horde then you may think that the title here looks a little familiar. Yes, indeed this was the title of their debut full length back in 2010, but no this is… Continue Reading →

Weedeater – Goliathan (Season of Mist)

After signing on with Season of Mist, Sludge titans Weedeater had their entire back catalogue re-issued and one of the notable highlights was the re-issuing of the legendary “…And Justice For Y’all”, their debut album and one considered to be… Continue Reading →

Domovoyd – ST (Svart)

If you’ve not yet caught this act, a quick scan of my music collection shows that Domovoyd have so far let loose upon the world their rather good ‘Mythonaut’ EP, 2012’s ‘Mammoth’, and debut long player ‘Oh Sensibility’, all well… Continue Reading →
