Antagoniste – The Myth of Mankind (I, Voidhanger)

We already know that French black metal bands hold convention in low regard. But these days, if it’s French, it must not only be good, but pushing so many boundaries it’s halfway to the Baltics. At least that’s pretty much… Continue Reading →

Twilight Fauna / Old Thunder – Bloodlines (Into The Night Records)

I wasn’t specifically asked to review this but as a download code was sent and I immersed myself in this split release by two USBM naturistic one man projects it would really have been rude not to especially as it… Continue Reading →

El Hijo De La Aurora – The Enigma of Evil (Minotauro)

It’s not often you hear of Peruvian doom bands, so El Hijo De La Aurora (The Son of Dawn) are certainly unique in that sense. Unfortunately for the trio’s third release, ‘The Enigma of Evil’, that’s where the inimitability ends…. Continue Reading →

Boar – Veneficae (Lost Pilgrim)

Anal Vomit – Petse Negra, Muerte Negra (Gates of Hell)

There are very few bands who can legitimately claim cult status in the death metal genre, and Anal Vomit are one of those few. Formed in 1992 in Lima, Peru, the uncompromising Death Metal four piece have undergone some line… Continue Reading →

Horla / Wytchfilth – Split (S/R)

My first question on discovering that both these one man black metal bands hail from Norwich was what would Alan think if he encountered them to play on the local radio show? I tried to find a suitable quote from… Continue Reading →

The Kahless Clone – An Endless Loop (S/R)

I happen to know that the name of this project has something to do with Star Trek, not due to the fact that I’m a totally sad sci-fi geek but due to someone I knew who named their son after… Continue Reading →

Apophys – Prime Incursion (Metal Blade)

If the apocalypse was coming, Apophys would be the soundtrack. Formed in 2012 in The Netherlands and boasting members of renowned Dutch bands including: God Dethroned, Prostitute Disfigurement, Detonation and Toxocara, the well oiled, technically sublime and brutal death metal… Continue Reading →
