The Defiled – Daggers (Nuclear Blast)

The Defiled, a hardcore metal bunch of guys from London, were formed in 2005 and released their first EP in 2009 titled ‘1888’ and shortly after, they released their first album “Grave Times’ which was given away free with Metal… Continue Reading →

Averse Concept – Symbol of Loss (SR)

Well, this certainly flipped the script on me. On the surface of things, this was to be just a regular common or garden black metal release for reviewing, which upon listening to I would be washed away in a sea… Continue Reading →

Necromass – Calix, Utero, Babalon (Funeral Industries)

The Italians do like setting up strange shrouded musical cults. The likes of early Death SS, Opera IX and Mortuary Drape fit that bill well, playing stygian, witch-coven blackened metal summoned from the very bowels of hell exclusively. Here is… Continue Reading →

Frozen Ocean – Aokigahara (Le Crepuscule Du Soir)

In the last of these reflections on ambient experimentation, audio seismologist Vaarwel really shakes things up. The 39 minute one track album has a droning sound on a low frequency rumbling through the entire length of the piece. Does it… Continue Reading →

NFD – Reformations (Jungle)

It’s been a very long time in fact 2008 album Deeper Visions was the last thing we heard from NFD and they have not played a show for a long time either. Typically they announced one in London with some… Continue Reading →

Chimaira – Crown Of Phantoms (Long Branch Records / SPV)

At the forefront of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal, lurking between the spasming core of Lamb Of God and the thundering grooves of Machine Head, Chimaira have forged a network of paths, rarely stopping to settle too long… Continue Reading →

Interview – The Monolith Deathcult

The Monolith Deathcult’s new album Tetragrammaton redefines ‘over-the-top’ combing colossal death metal song-writing with more samples than Fear Factory and Ministry’s coke-addled  lovechild. With love of keyboards, The Transformers and a manifest mission to delight and divide it is not… Continue Reading →

Sinister Realm – World Of Evil (Shadow Kingdom)

Even with the current rude health exhibited by the more traditional end of the NWOBHM inspired heavy metal spectrum, with two previously well received album’s it’s fair to say that Allentown PA gang Sinister Realm have well and truly got… Continue Reading →

Impiety – The Impious Crusade (Hells Headbangers)

If you know anything about Impiety, you know what to expect here. This five track mini album is the usual ferocious, no-holds barred assault. Violence is the order of the day and to accompany the artwork on the sleeve, “The… Continue Reading →

Throne of Heresy – Realms of Desecration (SR)

Throne of Heresy are relative newcomers to the world of death metal, only forming in late 2009. However, they’ve already popped their album cherry with 2012’s ‘The Stench of Deceit’, and are quick to follow up with this short taster… Continue Reading →

AttracthA – Engraved (SR)

This Brazilian band formed in 2007 and this is their debut 4 track EP. Presented in a very nice bi-fold digipak format, this band obviously takes their music seriously and this can be found when you play any one of… Continue Reading →

The Initiation – Larry Stewart (Arrow)

You may not recognise the name Larry Stewart but if you were growing up in the late 70’s early 80’s and liked genre television you no doubt watched some of the shows he was involved in. These included some real… Continue Reading →
