Demonic Resurrection – The Demon King (Candlelight)

Ever since I got this bands third album “The Return To Darkness” for review in another publication I have been hooked to their music completely and added to that their triumphant and staggering live performance at Bloodstock Open Air in… Continue Reading →

Corrupt Moral Altar – Mechanical Tides (Season of Mist)

Formed in Merseyside in 2012, Corrupt Moral Altar have somehow managed to slip past my radar, given that it is my main base for gigging and music, I find this disturbing. Thankfully, when the review list came up and I… Continue Reading →

Unaussprechlichen Kulten – Baphomet Pan Shub-Niggurath (Iron Bonehead)

With a moniker like that, you’d expect a Germanic entity to be behind ‘Baphomet Pan Shub-Niggurath’. Instead, Unaussprechlichten Kulten are a Chilean mob inspired by an H.P. Lovecraft story of the same name. As I have no familiarity with the… Continue Reading →

Interview – Dust Bolt

Back in May when the review list went out, my eyes were drawn to a band called Dust Bolt. I didn’t know much about them, but when their name was followed by the words “German” and “Thrash”, I knew I… Continue Reading →

Wolves In The Throne Room – Celestite (Artemisia)

As fans we have a deep but usually distant relationship with the bands we love. We care and we hope and we revel in their art and the emotions they stir inside us. But on occasions, in some respects, we… Continue Reading →

Grave Digger – Return of the Reaper (Napalm)

German legends Grave Digger are back once again with a new album. The PR material was enough to whet my appetite as its claims this album is a return to classic Grave Digger in the vein of their first two… Continue Reading →

Allegaeon – Elements of the Infinite (Metal Blade)

Having recruited a new guitarist and drummer since I heard them last, Allegaeon haven’t lost anything at all. Perhaps they’ve even gained about a bit of that initial spark that bands have when they start working as a cohesive unit… Continue Reading →

Hrizg – Individualism (Moribund)

‘Hrizg’ is Orcish for ‘pain’ apparently, so it’s fitting that the project is a one-man black metal band, hailing in this case from Spain and masterminded by one Erun-Dagoth. Whilst there are some Mediterranean influences to be found however, for… Continue Reading →

Interview – Vintersorg

Vintersorg, the man, the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, has contributed to more than 25 albums since 1994, encompassing many different styles of Metal. His past and present bands include Otyg, Fission, Waterclime, Havayoth and Cronian, but is probably best known for… Continue Reading →

Imperial Triumphant – Shrine To The Trident Throne (Code666)

I may be going through a phase of listening to black metal bands that melt my brain rather than just melting my face, but how about something that can do both? Step forward Imperial Triumphant who have been finding ways… Continue Reading →

Mortualia – Blood of the Hermit (Moribund)

Blood of the Hermit is the second album from Mortualia, the solo project of one of Finnish black metal’s busiest exports, Shatraug (he of Behexen, Horna, Sargeist and umpteen other bands fame). Having been a follower of most of his… Continue Reading →

Clouds Taste Satanic – To Sleep Beyond The Earth (Kinda Like Music)

Sometimes this reviewing lark can be a real drag and seem like work, other times, a real gem arrives and restores a bit of faith in the music.  I’m glad to say, Clouds Taste Satanic fall firmly in the latter… Continue Reading →
