Abraham / Coilguns – Split (Hummus Records)

A rather nifty little promo from Hummus records, hand numbered for the media can you believe and presenting a couple of heavyweight acts each with its own style creating a contrasting split release. There seems to have been a fad… Continue Reading →

Sawlegen – Stories from an Old Empire (Haarbn)

This album was composed and released in 2007, and here it is again. The calm ambience which opens up “Stories from an Old Empire” and the two acoustic cover tracks of Sawlegen’s own songs at the end give the album… Continue Reading →

Killer Klowns From Outer Space – Stephen Chiodo (Arrow Films)

“The drug which gives the clown power Means the circus can never be stopped And his dream can go on unhindered ‘Til the last human being has dropped” Any excuse to use lyrics to the classic Human League track Circus… Continue Reading →

Mortuus – Grape of the Vine (Ajna Offensive)

This has certainly been a long time coming. Back in 2007 and at the height of the orthodox ‘for Him’ renaissance of truly Satanic black metal, this obscure Swedish duo released their debut ‘De Contemplanda Morte: De Reverencie Laboribus Ac… Continue Reading →

Wolfborne – In the beginning… (Kavorka)

Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, Wolfborne are a four piece groove-inspired alternative metal band. Taking inspiration from current sounds and old, they’ve got a good overall balance to their sound and are set to release their debut album “In The Beginning…”… Continue Reading →

Swampborn – Alleged Escape (Haarbn)

Complicated and intricate post black metal here from this Russian duo with their debut EP. Essentially this work consists of two sprawling tacks with plenty of ideas about them. It’s partly avant-garde and out there and also kind of installing… Continue Reading →

Echo Us – II:XI A Priori Memoriae (Dust On The Tracks)

“This album….is something that even the top of the class Mike Oldfield was not able to achieve through decades of work”; wow!  That little quote was from the blurb that was slipped into the CD case with my promotional copy… Continue Reading →

Kong – Stern (Kongenial)

It’s always a pleasure to have a new album from my favourite Dutch instrumentalists landing in my inbox. This one came completely out the blue as did their last couple, no blitz of press releases or massive build-up telling me… Continue Reading →

Silent Call – Truth’s Redemption (Dust On The Tracks)

I’m torn. Torn between championing the cause of a massively underrated and under-exposed Metal band, and the pride I feel when chatting about Progressive Metal to like minded people and playing them Silent Call – who invariably they have never… Continue Reading →

Earth – Primitive and Deadly (Southern Lord)

Dylan Carlson is to his guitar what Gandalf is to his staff – a fucking wizard. No matter what era of Earth is your favourite – from the early days of gargantuan drones to today’s blues-tinged efforts – Carlson has… Continue Reading →

Bloodthirst – Chalice of Contempt (Pagan Records)

Poland’s Bloodthirst were on my radar about 8 years ago, to be honest, I lost touch with them, so it’s refreshing that they are still doing what they do and releasing new material. ‘Chalice of Contempt’ is their first release… Continue Reading →

Hang the Bastard – Sex in the Seventh Circle (Century Media)

Harrow- Middlesex. Home of a posh school where many of the country’s elite have been churned out to pollute or improve our society for centuries. It is also the home of the delightfully monickered Hang the Bastard. These West London… Continue Reading →
