Narjarhanam – Wa Ma Khufiya Kana A’atham (Haarbn)

Well observed if you guessed correctly that this is a disc from somewhere other than an English speaking country. It’s great getting albums from far flung places that you would not expect anything metal related to derive from, even more… Continue Reading →

The Oath – ST (Rise Above)

Hands up everyone who thinks there just aren’t enough ’70s occult rock’ bands around, female fronted or otherwise? Feeling lonely in the corner there? Good. Ok, the rest of you, hands up who thought The Oath slotted neatly into that… Continue Reading →

For a Dozen Matters – The Hell That Follows (Trailblazer)

Promoted as an example of the New Wave of Swedish Death Metal, for me this album had a distinct old school air about it. With its intense driving force, death n roll covers it nicely. The band who deliver it… Continue Reading →

Savage Messiah- The Fateful Dark (Earache)

The fourth release from this London Thrash 4 piece is a meaty affair, helped in no small part to the production of Scott Atkins at Grindstone studios.  When I say meaty I am talking full on Brazilian barbecue gut buster… Continue Reading →

Adamus Exul – Arsenic Idols (ATMF)

I have to say, before I listened to this cd, I first looked these guys up and found this quote on metal Archives; “Adamus Exul are strictly apolitical, performing and promoting misanthropic and anti-social black metal art forms only”   I… Continue Reading →

Eths – Ex Umbra In Solem (Season Of Mist)

I doubt I was the only person who was rather surprised to hear that singer Candice Clot had decided to call it a day and leave Marseille based heavyweights Eths. The band had not long since released excellent album III… Continue Reading →

Twilight – Beneath Trident’s Tomb (Century Media)

Nobody would really have expected that this USBM meeting of minds would have made it to a third album and be signed by Century Media when they released their debut self-titled album back in 2005. It was an album that… Continue Reading →

Order Of Isaz – Seven Years Of Famine (Season Of Mist)

I seem to be encountering building wave of Gothic Metal bands that seem intent on recapturing Gothic Metal from the symphonic Nightwish-a-likes that got dubbed with the term more due to image than sound. Gothic Metal – the male (more… Continue Reading →

Profezia – Oracolo Suicida (Moribund)

There isn’t a massive amount of information about on Profezia, they’re far too kvlt for that. However, what I have managed to cobble together is that it’s mainly the project of Kvasir (also of Italians Abhor) these days, although in… Continue Reading →

Interview – Dark Forest

Dark Forest (UK) have been high on my radar since their demo days when I first caught them live in London one evening. Since then, record deals have come along and their general persona and musical talent has also grown;… Continue Reading →

H A R K – Crystalline (Season Of Mist)

Taint, for all the love people had for them somehow always skipped under my radar, so I happily come to this without any ‘does it sounds like Taint ‘ baggage. What does it sound like? Well, friends, I’ve been seeing… Continue Reading →

Entartung – Peccata Mortalia (W.T.C.)

Consisting of two stalwarts of the European black metal scene – namely Lykormas and Vulfolaic (which other band(s) they have been in is shrouded in mystery…) –  Entartung now finds itself on album number two. A quick scan of online… Continue Reading →
