Deserted Fear – Kingdom Of Worms (FDA Rekotz)

First introduced to me in 2012 via the debut “My Empire” it captured the very essence of death metal and I mean death metal as a whole, not old school, not Swedeath (though I did reference that in my review… Continue Reading →

Fides Inversa – Mysterium Tremendum Et Fascinans (World Terror Committee)

There is something in here. Almost like, if I could put it in a vial and drink it every day, I would never need to worry about the dull reality of life again. Chaotic, blissful abandon and knuckle-whitening control over… Continue Reading →

Vallenfyre & Ancient Ascendant – London Boston Arms 21/10/14

Bit odd that there was just the one support tonight and they were not on for well over an hour after the doors opened. Anyone would think there was a lack of bands up for playing, especially as the one… Continue Reading →

Cavalera Conspiracy – Pandemonium (Napalm)

This is a project which needs no introduction. It is the third offering from the reunification of the Brazilian thrash metal rhythm section which churned classic albums like “Arise”, “Chaos A.D” and “Roots”. Igor and Max, now on good terms,… Continue Reading →

Lordi – Scare Force One (AFM)

What’s the matter with me? I could’ve had the new Anaal Nathrakh sent through but NO the utter child in me that actually likes the idea of Finnish loons in rubber monster outfits playing 80’s trash rock won out and… Continue Reading →

Under The Ocean – Dark Waters (Drown Within Records)

Stick the word ‘Lovecraftian’ in a description and I’ll always give it a second glance. It’s a reflex action as despite all the crap shovelled under the word. It is still the measure for all true horror for me particularly… Continue Reading →

Dark Fortress, Secrets Of The Moon & Schammasch – London Underworld 20/10/14

The sewer stench of Camden gives way to the fragrant scent of incense as we walk into the Underworld. Candles are on stage and ritualistic ambient music washes over us from the PA. We await the arrival of the strangely… Continue Reading →

Mysticum – Planet Satan (Peaceville)

Mysticum are a band who made their name off the back of one album, an album which took industrial soundscapes and infused cosmic black metal into it, a cubic fuckton of evil and an overdose of class A drug abuse,… Continue Reading →

Dawnbringer – Night of the Hammer (Profound Lore)

Chris Black may be famous of late for his High Spirits band, but this is his original band that has been going since 1995 and listening to ‘Nobody There’, it’s clear it’s Black’s vocals, albeit a slower tempo than the… Continue Reading →

Shivers – David Cronenberg (Arrow)

This is pretty much where it all started for me, Shivers was one of the very first extreme horror films I ever viewed and it’s got a lot to answer for. Firstly it set the path for a near obsession… Continue Reading →

Witchmaster – Antichristus Ex Utero (Osmose)

Poland has long been a source of consistently executed extreme metal, and like an emblem of this phenomenon is Witchmaster. Formed by band founder Geryon in 1996, today’s line-up includes Reyash of Christ Agony/Vader fame and the return of drumming… Continue Reading →

Pineal – Smiling Cult (S/R)

This band like Alice in Chains. A lot. At one time that would have been cool, because there was no Alice In Chains. Now there is again. Ya get me. OK that is off my chest These guys are good… Continue Reading →
