Tarja – Colours In The Dark (Ear Music)

Someone’s had the paint out and made something incredibly colourful. I know the album has been out for a little while but it only arrived here after the release date and made an instant impression when pulled out the envelope…. Continue Reading →

Hybris – Heavy Machinery (Candlelight)

Forming in 2010, Hybris already have quite the pedigree in the UK metal scene. This is due to the fact their members consist of former members of sludge monsters Centurions Ghost, a former member from classic heavy metal crew Stuka… Continue Reading →

Pentagram Chile – The Malefice (Cyclone Empire)

For a band that has been around for nearly three decades they sure have taken a long time to get their true full length debut despite more than a handful of demos and what not. My first experience with the… Continue Reading →

Volture – On the Edge (High Roller)

For those who don’t know this traditional metal band, it features Ryan Waste (Municipal Waste) and my journey started with their split release with Sweden’s Enforcer. Combining their musical vision through their EP and single releases, ‘On the Edge’ is… Continue Reading →

Caina, Hordes, Barshasketh – London Unicorn 6/9/13

An interesting line-up as ever put on completely free at the Unicorn saw many heading out of the centre of Camden and trooping up the hill looking for some bleak and black extremity. First up were Barshasketh all the way… Continue Reading →

Carpe Noctem – In Terra Profugus (Code666)

Iceland’s Carpe Noctem thoroughly impressed me with their self titled EP in 2009, a resolute affirmation of how black metal should be played throughout its blistering four track offensive. A demo subsequently came out but now we have the proper… Continue Reading →

Vesterian – Anthems For The Coming War Age (Glorious North)

‘Violent and hateful black metal’ is the name of the game for this horde based out of Hollywood of all places! Yep it’s certainly not the first place that you would associate with this style of music unless of course… Continue Reading →

Black Magician – The Pursuivant (Svart)

To a true black magician the line straddling the esoteric and ethereal is tenuous indeed. Equally blurred is the distinction between realms of imagination and fantasy. Tangential and limited by perception only is the border between the physical realm and… Continue Reading →

Repuked – Up from the Sewers (Soulseller)

‘Fuck You, Fucking Whore’ is as to the point as you need from these gutter trash death metal purveyors, anyone who has had the pleasure with their earlier releases will know what to expect. This is rather filthy, ha, I… Continue Reading →

Opthalidon – 0 (SR)

Jeez you really would not want to bump into this lot in some deep dark abandoned factory if you were off doing a bit of urban exploring. Dressed in military surplus survival cloaks and wearing odd gas masks as they… Continue Reading →

Grave Miasma – Odori Sepulcrorum (Sepulchral Voice)

It’s still surprising to me that this is Grave Miasma’s debut full length album, seeing as I (like many others) was completely imbued with the sickness of their two EPs which preceded this. Originally forming under the name Goat Molestör… Continue Reading →
