Church Of Misery – Thy Kingdom Scum (Rise Above)

I do kind of have to say this but the serial killer subject matter that this album relentlessly follows like its predecessors does kind of conflict me slightly at times. It’s a matter of geographical and time location which meant… Continue Reading →

Tesseract – Altered State (Century Media)

Tesseract, or TesseracT if you prefer, are a respected Prog band who can lay claim in part to the foundation of the style known as “djent”. This album, their second full work, is split into four groupings: “Of Matter, Of… Continue Reading →

Torture Killer – Phobia (Dynamic Arts)

A stark black and white image greets me upon looking at the cover art of the new Torture Killer album, quite a transformation in style to their previous couple of albums which had bold colours on great artwork to create… Continue Reading →

Paria – Surrealist Satanist (World Terror Committee)

Verminous German Orthodox, Satan Worshiping Surrealist Black Metal anyone? Well that is exactly what we have here from Essen based Paria who are a new band to me. Having been around since 1995 it took them seven years to get… Continue Reading →

Dark Tranquillity – Construct (Century Media)

20 years and album number ten, the one thing that you have to say about Dark Tranquillity is that they are consistent. Reliable too and this is the very important thing to those of us who love this sort of… Continue Reading →

Battle Beast – ST (Nuclear Blast)

Following on from ‘Steel’, Battle Beast are Finland’s underrated sons and daughters in the metal world. Their music is both vibrant and easily digestible whilst maintaining and receiving a genuine level of respect and metal credentials. A big change features… Continue Reading →

Eternal Rest – Prophetic (Deepsend)

This is the debut album from Australian death metal crew Eternal Rest, though judging by the proficiency of their songwriting and the impressive way they can musically slap you about the face to get your attention, you’d think these guys… Continue Reading →

In The Guise Of Men – Ink (Dooweet Records)

I’m currently holding a beautifully-packaged promo by a band calling themselves In The Guise Of Men and I’m thinking what an awesome moniker they have. The implication is that they are really aliens squeezed into human skins bent on world… Continue Reading →

Dead Mine – Steven Shiel (eOne Entertainment)

Cult Labs recently put together a timeline of peoples choices of best British Horror films and I eagerly threw mine straight in. These were The Wicker Man (Robin Hardy 1973) Blood On Satan’s Claw (Piers Haggard 1971) Psychomania (Don Sharp… Continue Reading →

Anvil – Hope In Hell (SPV)

Everyone who knows metal knows Anvil, and after their 2009 documentary, quite a few folks who know nothing of metal do too.  First time I saw the band after the film came out was when they were supporting the mighty… Continue Reading →

U.D.O. – Steelhammer (AFM)

After doing numerous reviews of this band previously, you really don’t need a history lesson, everyone knows what they are about and the classic German heavy metal style that you know you are going to get. So with this latest… Continue Reading →
