Another Destiny Project – Metodo Paranoico-Critico (SR)

Multi-instrumentalist Peter Pahor’s musical vision in very commendable indeed. He wants his project (that’s Another Destiny Project to you and me…) to be free in every sense. Free from boundaries, industry interference, greed, vanity, commerce – totally, and genuinely free…. Continue Reading →

Gathering Of The 500 Featuring Conflict, Subhumans etc – London Underworld 7/12/13

This is the first of two gigs where Conflict are gathering together a selection of bands and possibly playing some of their songs for the last time. You forget just had overbearing Camden can be on a Sat, full of… Continue Reading →

I Shalt Become – Louisiana Voodoo (Saadi Saati)

I absolutely loved drinking in the rich atmospheric grimness of ‘Poison’ the last 2010 released album from Illinois based black metal entity S Holliman. It conveyed a huge depth of expression with a classical backbone swirling around eldritch black metal… Continue Reading →

Derogatory – Above All Else (FDA Rekotz)

Another band new to these ears –  Derogatory  have released their nine track debut album on the ever reliable FDA Rekotz. Hailing from Los Angeles the band play traditional USDM and play it well! After a cheeky little acoustic intro… Continue Reading →

Lamia Culta – Woman Scarred (Vox Inferni)

Ukraine’s Lamia Culta are an example of a near total shift of direction between albums. We usually see this kind of metamorphosis happen throughout various records in a certain band’s career, but what is surprising in the case of Lamia… Continue Reading →

Inteview – Becky Cloonan

It’s a funny thing about comics, graphic novels, whatever you want to call them, but even if you don’t read them I’ll bet at least one of your friends does. Forever off mainstream until Hollywood (or HBO) comes calling once… Continue Reading →

Interview – Conflict

If you are a regular reader of this site the chances are you like your music to be edgy and confrontational. It is not always meant to be safe, indeed sometimes it can even be downright dangerous and contentious. As… Continue Reading →

Shining, Sterbhaus, Scutum Crux, Premature Birth and Vatigal Surrd – London Electrowerkz 3/12/13

It’s an early start today and things are quick to get underway as the first of three London based support bands kick off proceedings to the small gathered throng in the grim and grimy enclaves of the Electrowerkz. There were… Continue Reading →

Mountain Throne – Stormcoven (Cyclone Empire)

Musical trends are often cyclical in nature. What is the ‘in’ sound at one time may fall out of favour faster than you can find a comfortable pair of flares, but it inevitably returns to favour somewhere down the line…. Continue Reading →

Shallow Rivers – Nihil Euphoria (Bad Mood Man)

This album, the first full release by Shallow Rivers from Moscow, starts in orchestral and metal majesty. The opening title track then heads into a big section of despairing doom but impressively, it presses on and develops rather than grinding… Continue Reading →

Groan – Ride The Snake (Superhot Records)

Groan are a trip-tastic obsession for me, their releases are genuinely filled with a sense of mystery and character. They are a lot different to the many stoner doom bands out there and a lot of this comes from the… Continue Reading →

Calling Of Lorme – Pygmalion (SR)

Everything about this one looked a little on the strange side but we like it when that happens and we have something to decipher. The artwork hints at some sort of post-apocalyptic future, the band name is frankly odd although… Continue Reading →
