Mor Dagor – Redeemer (Osmose)

Having signed to Osmose Productions late last year, war-obsessed German metallers Mor Dagor have just released their 5th album ‘Redeemer’, and without a doubt, it’s one of the most exciting bombardments of blackened death metal to assault the ears in… Continue Reading →

Minutian – Inwards (Secret Entertainment)

I remember that Minutian’s first album “Repercussions” (2011) was interesting and accomplished. This one is the same. Since the release of “Repercussions”, the band has had to deal with the death of their guitarist, and this undoubtedly comes across in… Continue Reading →

Fateful Finality – Battery (SPV)

German four piece thrash act, winner of a Wacken metal battle, releasing their second full length album? If this sounds familiar you would be correct in thinking that – I have covered a band with similar circumstances (Dust Bolt) and… Continue Reading →

Cambion – Unfold Chaos Supreme (S/R)

All evidence indicates that El Paso’s Cambion are a new creation in the death metal world. With no entry on Metal Archives and a minimalist Facebook account, it’s really quite hard to give much of a background. Probably the most… Continue Reading →

Torver/Arcane North – From Moonrise to Moonset (Blackwood Productions)

Hats off to the label for accommodating these two bands from the north of England for this split album. The bands’ own creations are sandwiched between an ambient intro and outro as they would be known in some circles. I’m… Continue Reading →

Prong – Songs From The Black Hole (SPV)

Not only have Prong always been steadfast and reliable but of late they have been on fire. They played one of the most energetic and snappy sets of Bloodstock last year and last album ‘Ruining Lives’ cracked skulls and grooved… Continue Reading →

Nocturnalia – Above Below Within (Gaphals)

The scene is set a with sombre, classically flavoured piano intro, just over 2 minutes long, full of emotion and drama. Anything could be coming next, Black Metal? Pagan Metal? Post Rock? Symphonic Metal? Doom? Almost the last thing I… Continue Reading →

Loch Vostok – From These Waters (Vicisolum)

Loch Vostok blew me away with their previous album “V: The Doctrine Decoded” (2012). Their other albums are pretty good too. The latest one “From These Waters” is self-proclaimed as grittier than the others, and I’d go along with that…. Continue Reading →

Voice of the Soul – Catacombs (S/R)

Formed in Kuwait and based in Dubai, Voice of the Soul are a three piece death metal outfit who draw deeply from the Scandinavian melodic death metal movement, citing Dark Tranquility, Insomnium and Opeth as big influences on them. After… Continue Reading →

The Answer, Bad Touch, The Picture Books – Liverpool Arts Club 17/03/2015

St Patrick’s Day is the one day of the year you can both love and equally detest. Whilst it has a great party-like atmosphere, the amount of ‘plastic paddies’ who parade the streets in cheap green/white/orange wigs or Guinness hats… Continue Reading →

Interview – King Dude

A visionary of the American gothic musical movement, alongside the likes of Cult of Youth and Ledfoot, King Dude has rapidly gained recognition in the last year or so due to the popularity of his 2014 release ‘Fear’ which is… Continue Reading →

Pombagira – Flesh Throne Press (Svart)

If anyone reading this has ever met me, you’d think by looking at me I was a body builder who had eschewed the normal carb free diet of protein shakes and steroids in favour of one of scrumpy, pasties, and… Continue Reading →
