Enraged – It’s Your Fear That Feeds Their Power (SR)

Formed in 1997, this Dutch melodic death metal band has a healthy back catalogue of demos and mini cd’s, this current release is a rather tasty slab of metal right from the first listen. Death metal can easily be technical… Continue Reading →

The Vision Bleak – Witching Hour (Prophecy)

The Vision Bleak released their fantastic debut 9 whole years ago in 2004! Well that was a shock – where does the time go? It was at the height of Gothic Metal and their dark theatrical ‘horror metal’ (as they… Continue Reading →

In Solitude – Sister (Metal Blade)

Since reviewing the reissue of their debut early this year I have become a firm fan of In Solitude and ‘Sister’ has been one of my most anticipated album releases of the year. Their debut was such a confident and… Continue Reading →

Urna – Mors Principium Est (ATMF)

Wilfully one dimensional is how I’d describe a lot of funeral doom. Yes, there is potential genius in tracks that have a tendency to repeat themselves over and over for 10 minutes at a time, but also potential for lack… Continue Reading →

Beehoover – The Devil and His Footmen (Exile On Mainstream)

Drum and Bass. No not Goldie and Inner City Life. I am just naming the instruments of destruction used by Beehoover from Deutschland. Claus Peter Hamisch and Ingmar Petersen produce a marvellous cacophony via Exile on Mainstream Records and have… Continue Reading →

Interview – Helhorse

When Denmark’s Helhorse dropped Oh Death on us it was a mighty impressive and mature piece of hardcore driven rock n metal and catchy as Hel(l) to boot. So given the chance to fire a few questions their way, Ave… Continue Reading →

Secrets Of The Sky – To Sail Black Waters (Kolony Records)

Most debut albums tend to be rough-and-ready and recorded in a day by the lead singer’s dodgy Uncle Frank who happens to own a beat-up old eight-track. Well, perhaps not quite that punk, but they do usually veer towards being… Continue Reading →

Warhorns Festival – York The Duchess 27-28/9/13

Friday 27/09/13 There can be few cities more appropriate to host a festival of predominantly pagan/Viking metal than the place that previously was named Jorvik (and before that Eboracum), and there it’s a beautiful bright day to greet us too…. Continue Reading →

Eden’s Curse – Symphony of Sin (AFM)

The keyboard player comes from Dragonforce and Powerquest, while this international UK-based collective, who have ratched up a healthy four albums in seven years, have opened up for Dream Theater. That gives some clues, but the key word here is… Continue Reading →

Sarke – Aruagint (Indie Recordings)

Originally a solo project for Thomas Bergli of Khold and Old Man’s Child, he has long since abandoned the lone approach. Now comprising a full line up of some very familiar and talented faces, Sarke are well established purveyors of… Continue Reading →

Fanthrash – Apocalypse Cyanide (SR)

Billed as one of the first thrash metal bands to form in Poland way back in 1986 it certainly took Fanthrash a while before release of first album ‘Duality Of Things’ in 2011. 25 years must be some sort of… Continue Reading →

Broken Hope – Omen of Disease (Century Media)

The return of Broken Hope: a day which seemed most improbable since the death of founder/vocalist Joe Ptacek in 2010. News of his demise was equally shocking and sad given the nature of his death and also how his vocal… Continue Reading →
