Astrophobos – Remnants of Forgotten Horrors (Triumvirate Records)

`Remnants of Forgotten Horrors’ is a remarkably apt name for this, the debut album of Swedish band Astrophobos (named after an H.P. Lovecraft poem). This album absolutely and totally harks back to a time when this youthful band were probably … Continue Reading →

Lethe – When Dreams Become Nightmares (Debemur Morti)

My Refuge – Living In Anger (SR)

My Refuge are an Italian Metal band (there’s no dragon on the cover so they aren’t stereotypically power metal) with a shiny new four track EP to unleash on the world. And it’s very professionally done in all aspects –… Continue Reading →

Lazarus Blackstar / Black Shape Of Nexus – Split LP (Alerta Antifascista Records)

For this eagerly-awaited Split LP, the North-West of England meets the North-West of Germany as two storming merchants of doom crash headlong into each other for half-an-hour of immersive Sturm und Drang. From an early pressurized melting pot where Bradford… Continue Reading →

Behemoth – The Satanist (Nuclear Blast)

It was inevitable that a band like Behemoth would eventually burst its way out of the underground, eyes filled with blackness and balled fists busting with energy and lightning. Front man Nergal has, clearly, forever had big ideas beyond even… Continue Reading →

Black Metal Evolution Of The Cult – Dayal Patterson (Feral House)

Alfahanne – Alfapokalypse (Dark Essence)

Debut album by this Swedish mob. They have alumni from the 90s black metal scene in ex-members of Vinterland and early Maze Of Torment, they did a split with Shining in 2013 and they have coaxed guest appearances from Shining’s… Continue Reading →

Indian – From All Purity (Relapse)

For people not seasoned to the harshest and most frightening reaches of the doom branch of the metal genre, Indian may come across as a rather uncomfortable and intimidating experience. However, it is in these conditions that the band thrives… Continue Reading →

Abertoir Horror Festival – Aberystwyth Wales Nov 2013 Part 2

DAY THREE is now upon us. Billed as the first horror film to come from Laos, Chantaly is a slow and ponderous ghost story in which a reclusive young woman with a heart condition is haunted by visions of her… Continue Reading →
