Mother Of Worms – The Grimoire Of Abomination Tales (Schattenkult Produktionen)

Filth, foulest stench fuelled pornographically enhanced necro filth! That’s what we have here from these sick Germans and not only that but they have gone and delivered it on old-school cassette too. Somehow it seems all the more apt getting… Continue Reading →

Nocturnal – ST (Gaphals Records)

With the recent rise in popularity of late 60’s/early 70’s retro doom/occult rock or whatever you want to call it we have Sweden’s Nocturnal throwing down the gauntlet and throwing a few cats among pigeons. To me this gem of… Continue Reading →

Station Dysthymia, ‘Overhead, Without Any Fuss, The Stars Were Going Out’, (Solitude)

Station Dysthymia are a funeral doom band from Siberia, and ‘Overhead, Without Any Fuss, The Stars Were Going Out’ is their second full-length. I thought at first in my literary ignorance that the album title was the product of some… Continue Reading →

Interview – Pete Flesh Deathtrip

It was a couple of months back that The Pete Flesh Deathtrip’s debut album, ‘Mortui Vivos Docent’, arrived in my inbox. Immediately, this band’s brand of blackened death metal assaulted my senses as scorching riffs from the pits of hell… Continue Reading →

Diskord – Doomscapes / Aural Abjection (Hellthrasher Productions)

Diskord hail from Norway, and have had an unflinching penchant for blasting out dissonant, progressive and downright weird death metal since forming in 1999. Having released their second album ‘Dystopics’ on the ‘No Posers Please!’ label in 2012, Diskord’s debut… Continue Reading →

Night – Gunpowder Treason (Gaphals Records)

In the current grand resurrection of Scandinavian heavy metal, this 7 inch vinyl 2 tracker is very simple but very catchy hard rock/metal. If you like bands like Bullet (Swe) and Vanderbuyst; you will be in good company. This is… Continue Reading →

Ensnared – Ravenous Damnations Dawn (Nuclear Winter)

Perfect triplet of unconnected words making up the title of this debut EP from Swede deathsters Ensnared but it gives you a clue what to expect; hunger suffering and the cold light of day. Having previously been active as Gravehammer… Continue Reading →

Toledo Steel – Toledo Steel EP (SR)

Toledo Steel are a band I caught live earlier this year and boy was I impressed. Their demo material was a shape of things to come and these young guys certainly feel inspired by the NWOBHM movement and a fair… Continue Reading →

Plough – The 10th Circle (SR)

I have to get this out of the way. Plough is an awful name for a band. Unless you are a Metal Wurzels tribute act. It conjures up memories of harvest festival at junior school which I have had therapy… Continue Reading →

Temple Nightside – Condemnation (Nuclear Winter Records)

“Ritualistic Death Metal Necromancy” is what they call this. That’s Metal of Death rather then the genre, I’d say. This thoroughly blackened slab from Australia is as black as it gets – hissing prophets in blackened corridors of hopelessness and… Continue Reading →
