Black Oath – Ov Qliphoth And Darkness (I Hate)

This Italian doom bands first full length album ‘The Third Aeon’ really struck a massive chord with me, I even included this in my top 10 of that particular year. So a new album from Black Oath is rather welcomed…but… Continue Reading →

Burzum – Sol Austan, Mani Vestan (Byelobog)

East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon sees Varg venturing back into his non-metal Skaldic influenced instrumental music for this his eleventh album. That statement alone may have had some of his earnest enthusiasts shaking heads and turning off… Continue Reading →

Age of Taurus – Desperate Souls Of Tortured Times (Rise Above)

Any doom fans out on the live scene in the past year would have been hard pressed to miss Age of Taurus as they have been very busy indeed in preparation of the release of this, their debut full length…. Continue Reading →

Lacrimas Profundere – Antiadore (Napalm)

Having reviewed an album of theirs almost a decade ago and another a couple years later, I see that Oliver Nikolas Schmid is the sole remaining member and Tony Berger was on the latter release. Gone is Oliver’s brother and… Continue Reading →

Suidakra – Eternal Defiance (AFM)

Suidakra (originally named Gloryfication) at first, played death metal and thrash.. These crazy Germans have been lucky enough to play Europe, USA, India and China and so they should after all they have been doing this for over a decade! With… Continue Reading →

Dynamite – Lock N Load (Denomination Records)

Bon Scott was an icon; he was and still is one of my most inspired frontmen that sadly are no longer with us. So I hear of this Swedish band Dynamite who have a style and singer that is very… Continue Reading →

Moribund Oblivion – Manevi (Dust on the Tracks)

“Turkish Black Metal” is what’s advertised on the sleeve of my copy of this album. “Manevi” is the fifth album by this band from Istanbul. “Manevi” translates as “spiritual” or “ghostly” and I’d say it’s the atmospheric sections which are… Continue Reading →

Lycanthia – Oligarchy (Hypnotic Dirge)

The touch of romantic, atmospheric doom spreads far and is not synonymous with the cold rain cobbled streets of Yorkshire even if its frozen fronds spread from there. In fact I am sure the climate could not be much further… Continue Reading →

Orchid, Serpent Venom & Crystal Head – London Underworld 21/5/13

It’s back to the 70’s tonight and we could have been trooping into The Music Machine or The Rainbow to see some fresh new bands, reeking of patchouli and covered in beads. But no we were fuelled by beer rather… Continue Reading →

The Eden House – Half Life (Jungle)

This is an absolutely gorgeous collection of songs and I really hope saying so at the start of a review does not lose half of its readers. If you are still here, do stay, as if you are new to… Continue Reading →

Eldkraft – Shaman (Metal Blade)

The debut album by this Swedish trio consisting of J. Sandin on vocals and keyboards, H. Carlsson on guitars and bass, and N. Fjellström on the drums is a bit of an eclectic affair. The easiest comparison I can make… Continue Reading →

Todesstoss – Heikane Lowentotrin (Traumorgane Kreationen)

I was pleased to receive another package from German oddity Martin Lang, the creative force behind Todesstoss and several other projects on his Traumorgane label. I pointed out when I received the last two releases in 2012 that despite being… Continue Reading →
