Dark Tranquillity, Amoral & Acyl – London Underworld 9/11/14

There’s so much on at the moment it’s completely crazy, as much as I would have loved to make recent shows by Orphaned Land and Insomnium alas it just was not possible. However there is no way I was missing… Continue Reading →

Voices – London (Candlelight)

London our city! The place we live whilst loving and loathing it in equal measure. Or is it equal? Maybe not as I think of the emotions and descriptors it best sums up in me. Fear, paranoia, agitation, disillusionment, schizophrenia,… Continue Reading →

Grorr – The Unknown Citizens (Vicisolum Productions)

This album, Grorr’s third, is in three parts about three different lives: The Fighter, The Worker, The Dreamer. It’s not as artificially conceptual as it may sound, or at least it didn’t seem so to me. In their previous album… Continue Reading →

Air Raid – Point of Impact (High Roller)

Air Raid return with a fresh singer compared to the line-up I witnessed live in Germany at the Keep It True Festival last year. ‘Point of Impact’ is their third full length release and is slightly more melodic than previous… Continue Reading →

Hooded Menace, Dragged Into Sunlight, Resurgency, Wounded Kings, Decrepid & Uncoffined – London Dome 8/11/14

The skies biblically open just before Uncoffined start up a night of ritual death and funeral rites in style getting everyone outside scuttling into the venue to get immediately flattened by their chunky cavernous sound. Drummer and vocalist Kat Shevil… Continue Reading →

Monster Magnet – Milking the Stars (Napalm)

It was only last October when I posted a glowing review of Monster Magnet’s excellent ‘The Last Patrol’ up on these pages, an album that made it into my top ten of 2013 with ease. Now, along with a solid… Continue Reading →

Stubb – Cry of the Ocean (Ripple Music)

Stubb are a relatively recent musical discovery for me, having been pointed in the London based power trio’s direction by one of the other reviewers here. The three piece take the tried and tested power trio formula and keeping in… Continue Reading →

K-X-P – History of Techno (Svart)

This one had the potential to go either way. This self-professed anti-band from Finland have taken it upon themselves to “pay homage to the origins of monotonic umpa umpa” and draw analogies between the monotonous beat of techno and some… Continue Reading →

N.K.V.D. – Hakmarrja (Avantgarde)

Particularly grim and potent industrial dark art here from this French entity with a penchant for all things totalitarian and Russian. They adopt their name for a start after Stalin’s secret police and their music is equally oppressive and as… Continue Reading →

Triosphere – The Heart Of The Matter (AFM)

Luckily I live in a detached house. I’m not gloating or anything – it’s my potential neighbours I’m thinking of, because when an album like Triosphere’s 3rd release “The Heart Of The Matter” comes along (a bit like I felt… Continue Reading →

Supertanker – Songs from the Ashes (Klonosphere)

Formed in 2007, French groove outfit Supertanker have teamed up with Klonosphere to get their first full length release out. Having released some EP’s which shown some promise, let’s see if this one measures up or if it really is… Continue Reading →

Sedna – S/T (Drown Within)

“No politics. No religions” screams their biography. Italians Sedna are obviously keen for you to focus on their musical output alone and they needn’t worry. At times abrasive and antagonistic, at others soul-sapping and desolate, their self-titled debut album is… Continue Reading →
