Falls of Rauros are a band that deserve your undivided attention; since forming in 2005, the Maine four-piece have put out two solid full lengths but are often overlooked in the world of atmospheric black metal for ‘bigger’ acts such… Continue Reading →
I really liked this band’s EP “Vilos” (2013). It was fresh, challenging, full of ideas and altogether a very good selection of technical progressive metal. The lads from Glasgow haven’t given us much to go on this time with this… Continue Reading →
8 albums in and their first release for Metal Blade. Anyone expecting a diluting of Nathrakh’s ‘pandemonic hyper-blast’ music is gonna be disappointed. Despite slowly evolving beyond the raw black metal of 2001’s ‘The Codex Necro’ Anaal Nathrakh have hardly… Continue Reading →
Yeah, that’s one mouthful of a title (the fear of the number ‘666’ apparently) but we’ll get onto that later. More significantly, this release underlines the fact that the godfathers of depressive black metal are back and mean business –… Continue Reading →
Einherjer is back with another round of epic, adrenaline-fuelled battle chants and out to prove, yet again, that it’s still got what it takes to be among the vanguard of pagan metal bands. As with all good bands, Einherjer has… Continue Reading →

The work ethic of Liv Kristine seems boundless as this fifth solo album hits the Autumn shelves in the light of her collaboration with Anneke Van Giersbergen and Kari Rueslåtten, the latter of very early 3rd And The Mortal fame,… Continue Reading →
Classic 80’s style Heavy/Doom Metal anyone? From an Italian band that were there the first time but have only just got around to re-recording their best tracks? A band that dress in silver pointy hats, fake Spock ears, skin-tight cropped… Continue Reading →
Third full length from Texan occult rockers has taken a decided shift from dark and brooding folk tones of previous album ‘Deathlike’ and moved into louder, brasher territory. Whereas their previous record was cerebral, intelligent and thought provoking, it seems… Continue Reading →
Not many bands have released albums throughout one decade, skipped one, then returned to release more in the next. But then Primus are no ordinary band. And here they are with their original line-up (frontman Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde… Continue Reading →
This is a gig that’s divided the London doom community this evening, as Satan’s Satyrs are playing across town at the Boston Music Room. However, despite the clash, there’s still a decent turnout for tonight’s gig at the Black Heart…. Continue Reading →
