Den Saakaldte – Faen I Helvete (Agonia)

Violation Wound – S/T (Vic Records)

Not even a year after formation and Chris Reifert, he of Autopsy infamy, dons a guitar for this project of booze fuelled punk rock with subtle hints of metal on this debut full length. It can be dangerous to an… Continue Reading →

The Wounded Kings, Sigiriya and Coltsblood – London Black Heart 24/5/14

I didn’t give Coltsblood the best of rides last time I reviewed them, it really was a case of wrong gig and wrong venue as far as I was concerned. I had been told they were much better suited to… Continue Reading →

Killgasm – A Stab in the Heart of Christ (Moribund)

From lovely California comes the equally lovely blackened grindcore of Killgasm. When I picked up “A Stab in the Heart of Christ” and looked at the track titles and band name, I reminded myself for the umpteenth time that I… Continue Reading →

Emptiness – Nothing But The Whole (Dark Descent)

Whoever heard of introspective death metal? Well apparently, if you splice just the right amount of black metal into the mix, a delicate splash of industrial gloom and you’ve got the starkly named Emptiness. You may think that’s a rather… Continue Reading →

Lurking Fear – C Courtney Joiner (88 Films)

“The thing came abruptly and unannounced; a demon, rat-like, scurrying from pits remote and unimaginable, a hellish panting and stifled grunting, and then from that opening beneath the chimney a burst of multitudinous and leprous life – a loathsome night-spawned… Continue Reading →

Vanhelgd – Relics of Sulphur Salvation (Pulverised)

What’s that? A Swedish death metal band, releasing their third album you say? A band which I haven’t come across before?! Egads! Thus, I approached ‘Relics of Sulphur Salvation’ with all the trepidation of a starved puppy to an over-filled… Continue Reading →

Neige Morte – Bicephaale (Consouling Sounds)

Fucked up French black metal is virtually par for the course for this nation, when it comes to wreaking havoc on the unsuspected listener and Neige Morte do just that with their second full length. This is not easy music… Continue Reading →

Arcania – Dreams are Dead (Great Dane)

Formed in Angers, France, in 1999, Arcania spent ten years and a few line up changes (some enforced) and a handful of EPs before they released their debut offering “Sweet Angel Dust” in 2010. Four years later, the four-piece re-emerge… Continue Reading →
