A little history is in order here so if you just want the album review skip to paragraph two! Taiwan’s Chthonic seem to get on some Westerners’ wrong side. Some of it is the usual knuckledragging misogyny (they have the… Continue Reading →
There has always been a bit of a geographic conundrum involving Italian band Ecnephias but then again as this album is narratively focusing on ancient pre-Christian cults they could hardly have embraced their Roman origins here. Musically having heard them… Continue Reading →
The press release labels this trio as Swedish Thrash Maniacs and while I can wholly concur in regards to this statement musically, Fredrik Wester’s vocals are more a blend of Gothenburg death metal and black metal rasps than any thrash… Continue Reading →
The Devil’s Blood were special. I heard their demo and it blew me away with its blend of 70s psyche/occult rock infused by their love of artists like the great Roky Erickson and driving, song orientated metal with a touch… Continue Reading →
And so we plunge boldly into the deepest reaches of space here courtesy of two one-man projects who very clearly have at least one eye set on the stars. ‘Sol’ is a conceptual 3 song split featuring one long track… Continue Reading →

Every review I see about this band seems to focus on the derivation of their name which I am not going to do. It is four years since these Swiss grinders released “Behold The Failure” an album I still thoroughly… Continue Reading →
Everything about this show went FUBAR! First Von were announced as playing a few nights prior to this at The Garage and tonight at The Electrowerkz it was meant to be Absu. Then we heard Inquisition were playing here and… Continue Reading →
Translating this Norwegian band and their album title into Devil – Possessed By The Moon And Night, this act equates to some form of black metal super group comprising members from Nettlecarrier, Koldbrann and Kvelertak, and boasting one Dirge Rep… Continue Reading →
Arghhh, my eyes! Just look at that awful cover art. A grim scene, made even more horrible due to the fact it’s so badly digitally rendered that it just looks unbelievably bad. Had it not have been for the portrayal… Continue Reading →
