Bitch Queens – Kill Your Friends (Lux Noise)

Bitch Queens are a bunch of sleazy fuckers from Basel. This is the first shocker for me as they play the kind of grease and spunk soaked rock n roll that usually ejaculates outta Scandinavia.  So far so Turbo Negro…. Continue Reading →

Profound Sleep – Keep It Alive (S/R)

The music industry is not what it once was, with major labels seemingly not willing to invest in new acts unless they are the vapid nonsense that currently passes for R’n’B, the product of some reality show, or a one… Continue Reading →

Crest Of Darkness – Evil Messiah (My Kingdom)

I’ve kind of been aware of Crest Of Darkness for a while, but, as is the way of the world never quite managed to intersect with the Norwegians until this EP. Which I guess is as good a way as… Continue Reading →

The Agonist – Eye Of Providence (Century Media)

Although very much more of a modern metal proposition Canadian band The Agonist have always been a pretty solid affair and one that I have fairly enjoyed what I have heard of their output to date. After three albums there… Continue Reading →

Carach Angren – This is No Fairytale (Season of Mist)

Once upon a time … as ever with Carach Angren, stories are being told but they’re unlikely to find themselves on children’s television. In the past we’ve had shipwrecks and curses, and the horrors of the Second World War. We’re… Continue Reading →

Bursa Lamb – Lambdroid’s Vengeance (Coyote Records)

Why me? Chances are you have no idea who Bursa Lamb are so I’m gonna just quote the opening line of the promo blah that comes with this, their debut album.…”Bursa Lamb is a killer death metal attack from Greece…”… Continue Reading →

Fashion Week- Pret-a-Porter (Solar Flare)

There are 2 bands from the U.S. called ‘Fashion Week’, one plays lame indie bollox, and the other one sounds like they may want to kill you. …Thankfully, it’s the latter band that concerns us here. I say thankfully, to… Continue Reading →

Keep Of Kalessin – Epistemology (Indie)

Following a bands career is often quite tumultuous as you experience each release with bated anticipation; excitement, fear and wonder all partake in this venture and Keep Of Kalessin has been one of those bands for me. The band is… Continue Reading →

Primitive Man – Home is Where The Hatred Is (Relapse)

Never has a band been so aptly named; Primitive Man are consistent, robust and, well…primitive in their approach to making music – crank absolutely everything up until it produces disgusting amounts of feedback then churn out smouldering heaps of charred-black… Continue Reading →

Selvans – Clangores Plenilunio (Avantgarde Music)

This EP is a posthumous release for drummer/vocalist Jonny to whom the remainder of the Italian band dedicate as a tribute. As they have gig dates in the diary for March, it would appear that the trio of Selvans Haruspex… Continue Reading →

Henriette B – Red Dawn Of Humanity (S/R)

Switzerland….. not the first thing you’d shout out on Family Fortunes if asked “Name a country known for producing some brilliant metal bands”. I mean yeah, you’ve got Celtic Frost, Coroner and er…. Krokus… but it’s not exactly a seething… Continue Reading →

Eldorado – Babylonia Haze (S/R)

There’s a vintage quality to much of the rock n’ roll music that Eldorado peddle. The Madrid quartet are bluesy enough to draw comparison to bands like Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and Led Zep, but its their groove, moxy and hep… Continue Reading →
