Night Of The Comet – Thom Eberhardt (Arrow)

Back to 80’s America when hair was big, rock music was bigger and comets were hitting town turning everyone into piles of dust or rapidly mutating zombies. Times were great in 1984 and never better than on the video shelves… Continue Reading →

Revocation – Deathless (Metal Blade)

The Boston, Massachusetts band Revocation have been around for a number of years now. I recall first seeing their name in a copy of Terrorizer – probably around the time they started – and being taken with their decidedly old… Continue Reading →

Nachtblut – Chimonas (Napalm)

I’ve been impressed with the sheer quality of music hitting this site throughout this year. And so perhaps it shouldn’t surprise me that one of the few genres I’ve only ever mustered a passing interest for can threaten to hurl… Continue Reading →

Sol Invictus – Once Upon A Time (Prophecy)

Once Upon A Time in the deep dark 70’s there was a guy called Tony Wakeford who embarked upon a quest to recount tales of old English eccentricity and legend. He has been doing so ever since and has released… Continue Reading →

Thornafire – Magnaa (FDA Rekotz)

This is album number four from Chilean death metal crew Thornafire, but the very first time I have had the opportunity to check them out. South American death metal usually gets the blood pumping through a bludgeoning non-stop ferocity, and… Continue Reading →

Blut Aus Nord – Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry (Debemur Morti)

Is there no end to this man’s creativity? Seriously? By ‘this man’, I refer of course to enigmatic Frenchman known as ‘Vindsval’ who across the best part of two decades, has released album after album of mesmerizing, haunting and forward-thinking… Continue Reading →

Atrum Tempestas – Néant (Nordavind)

Spotting the line between atmospheric black metal and early-1990s shoe gaze is sometimes not an easy thing to do. Take Atrum Tempestas, for example, which comprises all the vital ingredients of both: taking the steady, depressive rhythms of the floppy… Continue Reading →

Fornicus – Storming Heaven (Negative Earth Records)

Something really odd has been going on and confusing me lately. It suddenly clicked what it was and it is the fact that two albums on my review pile, this and the new Necrophagia both start with a sample from… Continue Reading →

Whisper Of Death – Noise Of Obstinacy (S/R)

Unless you keep a close eye on the French death metal underground, chances are you haven’t heard of Whisper Of Death. This French five piece was formed in 2002 in a small village called Ablis, near Paris. This is their… Continue Reading →

Sparzanza – Circle (Black Cult)

18 years in the business, Sparzanza are a fine example of heavy and dark Swedish groove metal. Still going strong, the band recently released “Circle”, the band’s seventh full length recording and in their home country, it entered the charts… Continue Reading →

The Lurking Corpses – Workin’ For The Devil (Hell’s Headbangers)

l guess I like classic horror (thereby excluding all torture porn/slasher shit or mainstream random family haunted by irrelevant mess with added obvious creepy kid cookie-cutter flicks.) From serious, scary weirdshit to big bubblegum and candyfloss shlock outings. Particularly the… Continue Reading →
