Tor Marrock – Destroy The Soul (Black Vulture Records)

It has been a long time since we had any new material from Welsh band Tor Marrock but then again they have always been somewhat elusive, doing things at their own pace and then popping up and surprising with some… Continue Reading →

Beast – Dead Or Alive (Gaphals Records)

Beast are a high energy rock n roll band from Sweden, some call this speed punk and some call it all manner of things! ‘Dead or Alive’ is their debut album release that is presented in a real nice digi… Continue Reading →

[òwt krì] – The New Seed (Alrealon Musique)

The thing about droning ambiance is that it plays in the mind of the listener, at least those who want to listen. It helps if the composer fuels the imagination, and Finland’s Kenneth K manages to do this with this… Continue Reading →

Australasia – Vertebra (Immortal Frost Productions)

These sparkly post-gazers first caught my attention just over a year ago with their debut mini album Sin4tr4 on Golden Morning Sounds. Now with Immortal Frost Productions they have expanded upon their lush and sometimes fragile soundscapes to bring out… Continue Reading →

Jackal – Cry of the Jackal (Pure Underground Records)

This is a re-release of this Dutch bands one and only album from 1989. Unfortunately originally released during traditional metal’s decline in favour of thrash in the late 80’s, this band were doing the rounds with other notable countrymen of… Continue Reading →

Monolithe – Monolithe IV (Debemur Morti)

How time flies when you’re contemplating the infinite nature of cosmic existence. It’s less than a year since I reviewed Monolithe’s last album for this very website and, in a sub-genre not generally known for rushing things, that level of… Continue Reading →

Throne Of Katarsis – The Three Transcendental Keys (Candlelight)

More often than not I’ve been more than a little underwhelmed by the Norwegian black metal scene’s side projects and super-groups of the last decade. All they ever seemed to create was a compromised sound of the sum of their… Continue Reading →

Oranssi Pazuzu – Valonielu (Svart)

I reckon that Svart have a secret chemical lab somewhere and keep manufacturing strange strains of LSD and feeding them to hermits in the Finnish woodlands, bunging them a few instruments, recording the results and then releasing on an unsuspecting… Continue Reading →

Blues Pills – Devil Man – Nuclear Blast

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, there is definitely something retro in the air at the moment.  Forget the Glastonbury attending NME trendoids who think “Old School” means something from the late nineties, there seems to be… Continue Reading →

Prospekt – The Colourless Sunrise (Sensory)

I’ve long regarded progressive metal as the frowning older brother of the power metal fan. The po-faced real ale drinker who has long since decided that the power metal formula has been well and truly flogged to death and should… Continue Reading →

Galaktic Cancer Squad- Ghost Light (Hypnotic Dirge)

One man Teutonic black metal outfit Galaktic Cancer Squad may have a moniker that sounds like a bad Manga book but there is no whiff of Power Rangers about this opus. Multi instrumentalist Argwohn first started the project in 2011… Continue Reading →

Kill Division – Destructive Force (Metal Blade)

For fans of a certain epic Dutch female-fronted band, the phrase ‘featuring two ex-God Dethroned members’ might ring a bell. In the case of Kill Division, who feature two different alumni of Henri Sattler’s extinct beast, this phrase makes a… Continue Reading →
