The Stuff – Larry Cohen (Arrow)

1985 was one of those golden years for genre titles and saw the release of some of the films that would remain firm favourites to this day. Day Of The Dead, Return Of The Living Dead, Re-Animator, Lifeforce, Demons and… Continue Reading →

Vortice – Host (Alone Records)

If you like your metal to be modern, heavy, energetic, melodic and djenty, this is for you. Vortice come from Barcelona and are releasing their third album with “Host”. They were presented to me as a band who play thrash,… Continue Reading →

Bong – Stoner Rock (Ritual Productions)

When a band called Bong names their latest album ‘Stoner Rock’, I kind of know what to expect; a THC drenched guitar howl fest? Not a problem. Me, I’m 44, had hair I could sit on long before the internet… Continue Reading →

Stuntman – Incorporate The Excess (Solar Flare)

Whoa in your face cover-art on this one that’s guaranteed to make your eyes bleed and listening to the music on this will do the same to your ears too. If this were a stuntman in real life it would… Continue Reading →

Arrogant Destruktor – Hate Legions Ride! (S/R)

Featuring Anaal Nathrakh drummer Steve Powell on session drums, and roping in Carl Stokes of Cancer to record and mix this, ‘Hate Legions Ride!’ sees the triumphant return of Birmingham’s two piece black metal hate squad Arrogant Destruktor. Instantly picking… Continue Reading →

Home – Bound To Gravity (Sound Zero)

“Fuck me, this thing is heavy”. It takes a fair bit to get me to start talking to myself, yet here I am in an empty room getting crushed to death every time I spin this innocent-looking rotund piece of… Continue Reading →

Goatcraft – The Blasphemer (I, Voidhanger)

I was not just surprised by Goatcraft’s 2013 debut album All For Naught, but also rather taken with its idiosyncratic approach of sole member and US based Lonegoat obsessively hammering away at his piano with little other accompaniment. This approach… Continue Reading →

Vampire – ST (Century Media)

These Swedes for me set the Live Evil Festival in London late last year alight with their death thrash black arsenal of nasty, often breakneck paced metal madness. Quickly becoming something of an underground sensation, it’s therefore quite surprising that… Continue Reading →

Fossils – Flesh Hammer (Indisciplinarian)

“Hey Lee, how do you fancy reviewing a drum and bass album”? the Ed enquired. As he hastily retreated amidst a shower of expletives, threats and assorted stationery he informed me under protest that this was drum and bass album… Continue Reading →

Human Beansauce – Baculum (SR)

I listened to a sample of what was a three minute extract of “Lost Fulcrum”, the first track on this album. I was attracted to the deep and chunky six string bass sound and wanted to hear more. Human Beansauce… Continue Reading →

Earth Crisis – Salvation Of Innocents (Candlelight)

Part of the process of this review was to refresh myself on where Earth Crisis came from to get to where they are.  I duly bludgeoned myself my listening to their 2011 oeuvre “Neutralize the Threat”. Puffing my cheeks out… Continue Reading →
