Rabid Dogs / Kidnapped – Mario Bava (Arrow)

This is a real gem of a movie and one that has been missing in the annals of time until recently when star of the film Lea Lander, along with some German backers and Bava enthusiasts helped get it out… Continue Reading →

Foscor – Those Horrors Wither (Alone Records)

I confess that I’d never heard of Foscor before but what struck me when I’d listened to a few minutes of this album was the impeccable balance they create in their music. This impression was based on “Whirl of Dread”,… Continue Reading →

Cadaveria – Silence (Scarlet)

It’s always nice to hear new material from ex Opera IX vocalist Cadaveria and despite the album title there should be no worries as backed up by her Lynchian cohorts she has plenty to say here. Following up 2012 album… Continue Reading →

Cripper – Hyëna (Metal Blade)

When I saw ‘German Thrash’ in the brief description of the band, I knew I had to review this album. Having reviewed the promising Dust Bolt earlier this year, tackling the slightly more established Cripper was something I looked forwards… Continue Reading →

American Heritage – Prolapse (Solar Flare)

For the past 18 years American Heritage have been a storm raging in the underground. What began as a techy instrumental math influenced musical endeavour has flourished over time into sludgy, punk infused metal that lazier people may resign to… Continue Reading →

Interview – Voices

It’s absolutely no secret that Voices second album London, a concept to our Capital city has completely blown me away. Mixing so much emotion, atmosphere and extremity into its cinematic hour long playing time it’s a real feast and a… Continue Reading →

Primordial – Where Greater Men Have Fallen (Metal Blade)

Let’s face it, a new Primordial album is always something of a special event these days – from the moment the band truly unfurled their songwriting wings on 1998’s ‘Journey’s End’ album, has there been another act in the extreme… Continue Reading →

Thanatos – Global Purification (Century Media)

Thanatos are a proper death metal band. How proper? Well, they were arguably the FIRST extreme metal band from The Netherlands and since 1984 have been producing some of the most consistently brutal, thrashing, death metal albums that have come… Continue Reading →

Bloodbound – Stormborn (AFM)

Power Metal. Mocked by many, revered by some – but what exactly is it? For me it has encompassed so many bands that the actual genre is HUGE. In the 80’s it included acts as diverse as Running Wild, Savatage,… Continue Reading →

Spectral Haze – I.E.V.: Transmutated Nebula Remains (Soulseller)

Debut full length from Norwegian Spectral Haze is a nauseatingly trippy slice of psychedelia. With so many bands currently all trying their hand at this genre, it’s easy for stuff to pass you by, however, the blatant Hawkwind and Monster… Continue Reading →

Arcana Coelestia – Nomas (Avantgarde)

‘Nomas’, the 3rd album from Italian blackened funeral doomsters Arcana Coelestia, has finally arrived after a long and difficult labour. Stuck in development hell over four years largely due to personal difficulties within the band, matters were finally resolved when… Continue Reading →

Voices, Chapters, Shrines and Krawwl – London Black Heart 22/11/14

I reviewed Krawwl, live and on album recently so thought it could be a case of not having anything to say but hold on, things seem a bit different here. Indeed there is a console of fiddly looking knobs and… Continue Reading →
