Daemonheim – Tidian (Naturmacht)

Daemonheim are a new name to me and this is only their second album, but many a gem has been discovered like this etc etc. Apparently these Germans peddle a sound blending black, death, folk and ‘even non metal genres’… Continue Reading →

October File– The Application Of Loneliness, Ignorance, Misery, Love And Despair – An Introspective Of The Human Condition (Candlelight)

Eyehategod – Eyehategod (Century Media)

Mayhem – Esoteric Warfare (Season of Mist)

7 long years have passed since Mayhem’s last full length sweep of decrepit blackened murk ‘Ordo ad Chao’ hit our speakers, covering listeners in a filthy napalm-like phlegm which ate deeply into the beings of those who were willing to… Continue Reading →

Dust Bolt – Awake the Riot (Napalm)

If there is one thing Germany does well apart from being ruthlessly organised and living up to several stereotypes, its good old thrash metal. Since their victory at the famous “Metal Battle” at Wacken Open Air in 2011, Dust Bolt… Continue Reading →

Devilish Impressions – Adventvs / Eritis Sicut Deus (S/R)

This EP from Devilish Impressions is special. Following their third album “Simulacra” (2012), they have released this 62 minute epic comprising two new tracks and their 2002 demo “Eritis Sicut Deus”. The re-release of ‘Eritis Sicut Deus” is not before… Continue Reading →

Katakombi – S/T (Hämähäkki Music)
