Albums Of The Year 2013

  So it is done, another year and another round up about what has really made its mark with the music we love in 2013. This is everyone’s most difficult task of the year and it seems that this one… Continue Reading →

The Negation – Paths Of Obedience (Mortis Humanae)

Ah French band The Negation are against ‘bleating sheep’ and the ‘weak and ignorant’ who use the likes of religion as a crux. We have that in common then and it is that annoying time of year when everyone is… Continue Reading →

Neronoia – Sapore Di Luce E Di Pietra (Eibon)

I like a challenge, I always say that to our editor, and this album intrigued me with its short description on the review list with adjectives such as twisted, bleak, misery etc, thinking I was about to embark on a… Continue Reading →

Phantom – Incendiary Serum (I, Voidhanger)

First album from this Danish band and odd things are afoot. Upfront I need to say that Phantom are seriously, highly promising (which only makes sense as I, Voidhanger know their stuff): They are brimming over with more ideas than… Continue Reading →

Oruga – Oruga – Apathia Records

Sometimes my masters at Ave Noctum towers send strange materials for me to review here at Spenny dungeons, and surely this is one such, a re-release of a 2011 demo EP, with added bonus track, all pending a 2014 LP… Continue Reading →

Almost Human – ø (Suisa)

Not to be confused with various other ‘almost humans’ this lot are the Swiss version who simply class themselves as a metal band. Obviously there is a bit more to it than that as this nicely packaged card EP designed… Continue Reading →

Therion & Arkona – London Islington Academy 20/12/13

Due to a combination of early doors and meeting up with people, for once I completely broke my own rule of trying to make sure I covered all the support bands by walking in just as the second of them… Continue Reading →

Bones – Sons Of Sleaze (Planet Metal)

These days a lot of what passes for metal is gutless (and nutless), processed, over produced bollocks. God forbid we should hear the drummer getting tired and making the odd mistake, nah we want it super perfect so we trigger… Continue Reading →

Skapt Av Skog – ST (Fallen Temple)

It seems somewhat wrong that I hold in front of me a three track EP containing ten minutes worth of music and I have everything that has ever been or is likely to be released by a band. Apparently Norse… Continue Reading →

Naxal Protocol – The Guilty Should Get What They Deserve (Eibon)

Can’t argue with the album title but what of the band? We are told that Naxal Protocol is the new name from previously defunct power noise artists Cazzodio. You can kind of understand why after they took a break for… Continue Reading →

Irminsul – Fäder (Purity Through Fire)

Irminsul are one of those bands whose sound consists on a mix of folk, pagan and viking metal, but unlike a lot of others practicing these styles, they’ve also managed to enter the realms of progressive music in their second… Continue Reading →

Truth Corroded – The Saviours Slain (AFM)

The stereotypical view of Australia as a very sunny, laid-back country will surely be dispelled after one listen to `The Saviours Slain’, for this album contains 100% pure rage. This is the fifth studio album from prolific death/thrash/metalcore crew Truth… Continue Reading →
