Throes – Disassociation (Naturmacht)

Anil Carrier obviously likes keeping himself rather busy. As if he is not in enough bands at the moment already () the multi-instrumentalist has now gone and hooked up with vocalist Daniel Jones Gillett of The Fever Sea and set… Continue Reading →

Sigh – Graveward (Candlelight)

Warning may contain nuts! Yes and it’s rather nutty stories that have helped pave the way towards Japanese loons Sigh’s tenth album. Founding member and guitarist Shinichi Ishikawa was removed from the line up due to the fact that apparently… Continue Reading →

Anathema – Reissues (Music For Nations)

Having heard about the queuing horrors for Record Store Day the day before I wrote this, it had me thinking about the strategic moves that record labels are deploying to aid us in parting with our cash only for some… Continue Reading →

Ereb Altor – Nattramn (Cyclone Empire)

Time flies when you’re in two successful metal bands, and Mats and Ragnar have released 3 albums in 20 months! One was with their other band Isole, but already we are being offered another Viking Metal outing by Ereb Altor… Continue Reading →

Black Royal – The Summoning Part 1 (Armless Stranger)

Coming out of Tampere, Finland, Black Royal are a touch different to the cavalcade of bands that are usually associated with this location. The emphasis is right royally peppered in bleak harsh stoner inspiration, with a splash of youthful angst,… Continue Reading →

Interview – Ensiferum

Having reviewed their latest album ‘One Man Army,’ I jumped at the chance of shooting some questions toward one of Ensiferum’s band members. Since liking Norther back in the day I thought it was only right to pick vocalist Petri… Continue Reading →

Klone – Here Comes The Sun (Klonosphere)

Klone are a constantly evolving six piece from Poitiers, France who made their debut 12 years ago. In that time, the band has drifted away from its metal roots to a more progressive, ethereal sounding vintage rock band with some… Continue Reading →

The Grotesquery – Curse Of The Skinless Bride (Cyclone Empire)

The Grotesquery is one of what I call ‘secret bands’. Only one of my buddies (Trud) has heard of them and we both love their last two albums. It’s odd that the band aren’t more well-known seeing as they feature… Continue Reading →

Demonical – Black Flesh Redemption (Agonia)

The Swedes of Demonical have been spreading their death metal filth since 2006 when members of the persistent yet workmanlike Centinex sought a fresh outlet for their talents. In its time, the band has unleashed four well received albums and… Continue Reading →

Demonic Slaughter – Haunted (Pagan Records)

“Haunted”, Demonic Slaughter’s fifth album release, captures the aura of old school black metal. It’s about the decay of mankind. It’s cold and frosty. Essentially, that’s the sum of it. Demonic Slaughter are Polish but that’s incidental as the style… Continue Reading →

Furia – Nocel (Pagan Records)

When reviewing Dayal Patterson’s The Cult Never Dies Volume 1 recently I commented about the fact that there were quite a few of the original Polish black metal bands that I had not really heard. This band Furia although only… Continue Reading →

Sigihl – Trauermärsche (And a Tango upon the World’s Grave) (Arachnophobia)

I was really expecting obsidian blackness from this Polish band and that’s what I got but with it a whole lot more. This is a debut album from the band who contain members of the much lauded Outre as well… Continue Reading →
