Die Antwoord – Rockhal Box, Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg 25/01/15

Die Antwoord are the South African Zef (see wikipedia) collective whose obscure videos, lyrics and image have elevated them way beyond the status of being considered just a rap/electro entity. My first encounter with their darkly humorous world of grime… Continue Reading →

Solefald – World Metal Kosmopolis Sud (Indie)

Following up on last year’s EP ‘Norrønasongen. Kosmopolis Nord’ Solefald have completely expanded their reach from the more insular travelogue that took in the traditions and folklore of the Norse centric regions and explored their chilly terrain with a progressive… Continue Reading →

Ahamkara – The Embers Of The Stars (Nordvis / Bindrune)

Perhaps their moniker is a reference to Hindu philosophy or, less likely, the dragon-like creature in the massively multiplayer first-person shooting videogame Destiny. One thing is for certain, Ahamkara sure know how to get under your skin. They are Newcastle-Upon-Tyne… Continue Reading →

The Cyon Project – Tales Of Pain (Pavement Entertainment)

With only a demo and a couple of singles this Italian band gives us their full length debut and like many intelligent bands they do not rest on genre descriptions or indeed current trends but favour an approach that will… Continue Reading →

Hegerøth – Three Emperors’ Triangle (S/R)

I made the statement after listening to Hegerøth’s 2012 ep “Spectral Fear” that I wanted to hear more. Here it is. The title refers to a place in Silesia where the Russian, Austro-Hungarian and German empires once converged. When I… Continue Reading →

Seth – Seth (Minotauro Records)

Minotauro records have developed a reputation for being the champions of forgotten bands and the latest of these to get the Minotauro treatment is 80’s Boston prog rockers Seth. A quick search of the internet for Seth and the imprint… Continue Reading →

Thulcandra – Ascension Lost (Napalm)

In meaningful existence for seven years, Thulcandra seem to have been a divisive act for the entire time. For whatever reason, many Dissection worshippers have taken offense at these Germans paying homage to the Swedish masters both musically and artistically… Continue Reading →

Iron Lamb – Fools Gold (High Roller Records)

Right, let’s get one thing straight… Motorhead are the best band there ever was or will be. That’s just my opinion of course but if you disagree then you’re simply wrong. I reckon the Swedish rockers in Iron Lamb might… Continue Reading →

Hermóðr – Vinter (Wolfspell)

Yep, an album dedicated to Winter, which is perfect timing as it is just what we are in the throes of at the moment and it’s suitably cold. I would say it’s been absolutely freezing but may end up with… Continue Reading →

The Damned – Another Live album (Southworld Recordings)

Well this one was hardly going to be rocket science to review. After all it’s not like there’s not been enough Damned gigs that I have witnessed over the years both in the flesh and indeed on album. With the… Continue Reading →

Armageddon – Captivity And Devourment (Listenable Records)

With the number of bands that are called or have been called Armageddon over the years then yours had better be something damn fine that sticks out from the pack. This Armageddon hails from Sweden and is the now rejuvenated… Continue Reading →

Hate – Crvsade:Zero (Napalm)

Behemoth fan? Addicted to Vader? Then the chances are you’ve already dabbled with a bit of Hate. If you have I probably don’t even need to say at this point that they’re from Poland and, although this next fact is… Continue Reading →
