Morbid Angel, Benediction, Unfathomable Ruination – London Islington Academy 12/12/2014

With doors opening at 6pm, it’s a mad rush from the office to Islington tonight and with such a strong line up, the disappointment of being late is looming over our heads as we rush up the underground escalators.  Unfortunately… Continue Reading →

6:33 – Deadly Scenes (Kaotoxin Records)

To follow their previous album and collaboration with Carnival in Coal “The Stench from the Swelling (A True Story)” (2013), this Parisian band’s latest work also falls further into the twisted avant-garde sphere with recognisable rock metal melodies. As someone… Continue Reading →

The Duskfall – Where The Tree Stands Dead (Apostasy Records)

After a 6 year hiatus Mikael Sandorf is back with a completely new line-up to resurrect The Duskfall and release their first album in 7 years. Having never listened to the Swedish outfit’s earlier material I can’t comment as to… Continue Reading →

Eskapi – Välkommen till (O)verkligheten (Art Of Propaganda)

The fertile but not right by any means mind of J Gabrielson (Lifelover, Vanhelga) strikes again with a new musical project. Here he provides vocals and lyrics whilst partner in insanity C.J. does everything instrumentally. The debut E.P. does have… Continue Reading →

Dysangelium – Thanatos Askesis (World Terror Committee)

Dysanglium exploded onto my radar earlier this year with the release of their punishing ‘Leviaxxis’ demo which was distributed by World Terror Committee. The young Germans delivered three tracks of punishing blasphemic spite that demonstrated a knack for concise composition… Continue Reading →

Foreseen – Helsinki Savagery (20 Buck Spin)

This début by the Finnish quintet kicks right where it hurts and then does some foot stomping to add another tear to your eye. What they lack in finesse they more than make up for with pure aggression and a… Continue Reading →

Helevorn – Compassion Forlorn (BadMoodMan Music)

This is the third album by this Majorcan sextet from Palma. Formed in the last century, they are producing some wonderfully heavy albeit melancholic music with beautiful clean vocals and powerful death growls. The album commences with some seriously chunky… Continue Reading →

Eternal Sex and War – Negative Monoliths (Quality Steel)

This gruesome twosome began life in Northern Italy in 2001 comprising Thorshammer on vocals and guitars and Gornhar on Drums. Their plan? To channel pure uncontaminated hate through their music. They were eventually joined by Dr Faustus on bass and… Continue Reading →

Witherscape – The New Tomorrow (Century Media)

I picked up Witherscape’s first album ‘The Inheritance’ on an old fashioned whim after seeing it in an independent record shop (one of the few that remain), and then being drawn in by the cover, the suggestion on the cover… Continue Reading →

Aphonic Threnody – When Death Comes (Doomentia)

Certain names seem to crop up throughout the year and I do wonder at times who the most prolific musician is that turns up in extreme music with the most regularity? Rogga Johannson is no slouch, Niklas Kvarforth likes guesting… Continue Reading →

Winter Deluge – As The Earth Fades Into Obscurity (Frozen Blood Industries)

Originally released on CD by the band themselves a couple of years ago, the debut album of Winter Deluge sees new distro/label Frozen Blood Industries pick up the release for a tasty vinyl re-issue. Not knowing a huge amount about… Continue Reading →

Self-Inflicted Violence – The Sanctimonious Hypocrites of Reality (Art of Propaganda)

Wow, if there’s a list for transformations of 2014 then Lincolnshire duo Self-Inflicted Violence would surely be at the number one spot. Since forming in 2007, the pairing gained a reputation in the underground for playing harrowing depressive black metal…. Continue Reading →
