Nothing – Guilty of Everything (Relapse)

Now, the cynic inside of me might take a look at this and dismiss it as little more than Relapse attempting to jump on the shoegaze bandwagon that continues to trundle forwards with ever increasing momentum. The combination of extreme… Continue Reading →

Ancient Ascendant – Echoes And Cinder (Candlelight)

Not even the end of March and so far we’ve had some absolutely blinding British death metal records unleashed upon us….. Amputated, Basement Torture Killings, Cancerous Womb & Dripback have all smashed us to bits with their latest releases and… Continue Reading →

Janvs – Nigredo (Avantgarde)

Janvs unwittingly encountered some form of infamy when an ex editor of a well-known printed publication caught them up in an act of Antifa cleansing as having NS sympathies. Although this was hotly disputed the ban hammer had struck and… Continue Reading →

Pantheon – Intervention (S/R)

What I like about many of the UK Metal bands I’ve heard from the last 10 years or so, is that they generally either take a style but try to make it sound different in some small way, re-imagine what… Continue Reading →

Boris Records 7” Roundup

Nothing to do with a certain Japanese band and I bet they get that all the time, Boris Records is a label based in Atlanta Georgia dedicated in promoting and releasing music within the metal scene there. Perhaps not as… Continue Reading →

Carnifex – Die Without Help (Nuclear Blast)

San Diego is sunny. Carnifex, who come from there, are not. This is their fifth album of “your worst nightmare” deathcore. Alarm bells ring. They herald a technical onslaught, supported by a chugging machine. It’s a bit tick-box: growling bass,… Continue Reading →

Nihilo – Dum Spiro Spero (Subversiv Records)

`Dum Spiro Spero’ marks 10 years of life for this grisly, underground outfit from Switzerland, although by the sounds emanating from this filthy slab of nastiness, you’d think they had been going a lot longer! These boys are from the… Continue Reading →

Flotsam and Jetsam – No Place For Disgrace 2014 (Metal Blade)

Before we get going can I just remind readers that I gave a positive review to F&J’s 2013 release “Ugly Noise” and that I have been a follower of the band since hearing their debut way back in 1986. Good,… Continue Reading →

Morbus Chron – Sweven (Century Media)

So, Morbus Chron, a name which has been firmly embedding itself in the underground metal community’s consciousness over the last few years. As with so many bands that I’ve covered lately, they have until now just been a name for… Continue Reading →

Mount Salem – Endless (Metal Blade)

When is an EP not an EP? When you add two tracks to an already 34 minute EP I guess. Still, label and band call it an EP so we’ll just think of it as good value, eh? Right. So… Continue Reading →

Howls of Ebb – Vigils of the 3rd Eye (I, Voidhanger)

If we can, for a moment, try to divide the output of the extreme metal scene into the good, the bad and the downright ugly, there is absolutely no question that that Howls of Ebb fall headlong into the foul… Continue Reading →

Aeternum Vale – Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges (S/R)

Hailing from Dublin, Aeternum Vale have been making a racket on the UK and Irish underground scene in the past couple of years with their brand of Celtic black metal. Drawing high praise for their live shows and from touring… Continue Reading →
