Hammerdrone are no strangers to Ave Noctum and it is nice to hear finally a full length debut album from this melodic death metal band based in Canada. A lot of the music style is akin to the Amon Amarth… Continue Reading →
Kampfar was one of the bands that defined dark, extreme pagan metal back in the 1990s and has always managed to keep its hobnailed boots planted firmly in respectable black metal territory. Now, with the band’s 20th anniversary approaching, Kampfar… Continue Reading →
One of the skills of black metal is snatching order from the jaws of chaos and Folge Dem Wind manages to remain just inches from the dragon’s teeth. The music the band produces is more like some mesmerising ritual than… Continue Reading →
In the wake of Isis’s demise a few years ago, there was a sense of uncertainty that crept into the whole ‘post-metal’ scene. What had felt at one time to be an unstoppable juggernaut of colossal riffs, epic soundscapes, downtuned… Continue Reading →
