Beastmilk – Climax (Svart)

Bands who are jumping on the coat tails of the gloomier sounds of the eighties seem to be in vogue at the moment. There are a lot of people who never lived through the times getting in a froth about… Continue Reading →

Handful Of Hate – To Perdition (Code 666)

Despite a career stretching back to around 1993, and recordings from only a couple of years later, this is the first time the name Handful Of Hate has crossed my horizons, let alone heard them. But with Code 666 backing… Continue Reading →

Anubis Gate – Sheep (Nightmare Records)

In advance of their anticipated sixth album in 2014, prog metal band Anubis Gate have chosen to release this 21 minute, three track ep. “Sheep” is available to download for free, with the band’s consent, via the Nightmare Records web… Continue Reading →

Spirits Of The Dead – Rumours Of A Presence (The End)

A quick glance around reveals just how far this modern obsession for all-things retrospective has come. From the re-emergence of the flared trouser or a penchant for all things eyeball-meltingly fluorescent to our longing for the foods we grew up… Continue Reading →

Generation Kill – We’re All Gonna Die (Nuclear Blast)

Where to start with Generation Kill? That’s a toughie. The phrase ‘Generation Kill’ is one that is far more prevalent in the USA then the UK, referring to the TV series that depicted the early “glory days” of the US… Continue Reading →

Dimaeon – Collapse of the Anthropocene (Layered Reality Productions)

Surprisingly, this is Dimaeon’s first full album in their eleven years of existence. The cv so far from these prolific live performers from The Netherlands shows that they have previously released two eps, taken part in a split “Frisian Metal… Continue Reading →

Darkmoon Warrior – Nuke ‘em All (World Terror Committee)

Nuke ‘em all, eh? Yes, very clever, see what you did there chaps. Despite the impressive cover art, there’s a distinct whiff of almost deliberate meatheadedness wafting from this latest effort from Germany’s very own Darkmoon Warrior. The album title… Continue Reading →

Interview – Týr

We were invited to interview the mighty Tyr following Ave Noctum’s 9/10 review for their highly impressive Valkyrja album. Unfortunately our correspondent was overseas and unable to interview the band in person, but Tyr frontman and lead vocalist Heri Joensen… Continue Reading →

Atlantean Kodex – The White Goddess (Cruz de la Sur)

Now THIS is how you do an Epic Metal album. There has been a simmering sense of anticipation surrounding this Bavarian 5-piece for a good few years now – 2010’s ‘The Golden Bough’ and their Pnakotic Demos certainly caused something… Continue Reading →

Endstille – Kapitulation 2013 (Season of Mist)

As the owner of two of Endstille’s previous seven albums, all I expected from these Germans was black metal warfare. Nothing I’ve ever heard from them has been less than a total all-out assault. “Kapitulation 2013” is no different An… Continue Reading →

Satan’s Wrath – Aeons Of Satan’s Reign (Metal Blade)

Remember when life was simple? Remember when heavy metal was just, well, heavy metal? No internet but we had tape trading, Shades Records, Mega-Metal Kerrang, Sounds, bullet belts and pints of snakebite on a Friday night down Kings Nightclub in… Continue Reading →

Sacrificium – Prey for Your Gods (Whirlwind Records)

This German death metal machine celebrate 20 years of existence with this effort ‘Prey For Your Gods’, a remarkable feat in this day and age but also a travesty when you hear bands that are as good as this laying… Continue Reading →
