Blood Ceremony – The Eldritch Dark (Rise Above)

Two of the finest bands of their ilk Blood Ceremony and Jex Thoth are both poised on releasing new albums within a couple of weeks of each other so if you are a fan of female fronted, occult doom you… Continue Reading →

King Parrot – Bite Your Head Off (Candlelight)

Candlelight continue their broad genre ranging signings, this time with a blizzard from Oz with links to Blood Duster amongst others so I guessed we weren’t going to be talking gothic metal. Nope, with a charmingly impossible cover, this is… Continue Reading →

ASG – Blood Drive (Relapse)

I’m not sure how, but I’ve somehow managed avoiding hearing, or for that matter, hearing of ASG, a North Carolina four piece that has been going since 2001.  My surprise is based to a good extent on their CV which… Continue Reading →

Harasai – Psychotic Kingdom (Quality Steel)

I’d not heard of Harasai before. The strange thing was that when I listened to “PsychoticKingdom” it was as if I had. My initial impression of this band from Germany was of a fusion between Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and… Continue Reading →

NVRVD – Coma (Hummus Records)

NVRVD are, undoubtedly, a band of contradictions. If, like me, you’ve never come across them before, this 6-track EP of theirs may just leave you feeling a little burnt out. Just as soon as you believe you have a solid… Continue Reading →

Sonne Adam, Grave Miasma, Craven Idol & Decrepid – London Boston Arms 17/5/13

A nice underground bill tonight with the headliners coming all the way from Israel for the promoters first international show and three British bands adding some good support. First up were Decrepid who were in full swing when I got… Continue Reading →

Almost 30 years and 15 albums now from Skinny Puppy and if you find yourself missing them for any amount of time there are always solo releases popping up from frontman Nivek Ogre under his ohGr moniker. ‘Weapon’ is the… Continue Reading →

Aborym – Dirty (Agonia)

Aborym have been consistently delivering the goods for a surprisingly long time now, haven’t they? It only really struck me when coming to write this review, that it was 2001 when I first had my introduction to the band with… Continue Reading →

b.o.s.c.h. – Apparat (Dust on the Tracks)

I’ve reached the time of life where Bosch is a brand of washing machine from Germany, not the name of an electronic metal band from the same country. The title “Apparat”, which means “appliance” doesn’t help to allay my preconception…. Continue Reading →

Nergard – Memorial for a Wish (Battlegod Productions)

The story of this concept album from Norway’s Nergard is that of an Irishman who in 1890 was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a burglary he did not commit. He is separated from his pregnant wife, who dies… Continue Reading →

Arrogant Destruktor – Demo (SR)

Ok who has gone and sent me the world’s smallest pizza and what sort of topping does an Arrogant Destruktor contain?  Lift the lid and oh silly me, of course it’s actually a CD but damn it now at 9am… Continue Reading →

Slice & Dice – The Slasher Film Forever – Calum Waddell (88 Films)

The geek in me just loves reading about and watching documentaries about genre films so this was a no brainer that I was eager to get to grips with. Director Calum Waddell is well known to fans of horror movies… Continue Reading →
