As last album by these fantastically named slushers ended up in my review pile it was natural that I picked the new one out from the pile of discs sent over courtesy of Russian label Solitude Productions and their associated… Continue Reading →
With a title like this, it’s perhaps inevitable that the basic fare on offer is slow and sludgy doom. Malta’s Victims of Creation are an interesting band, having started out in 1992 but having a 13 year gap before re-starting… Continue Reading →
By keeping his cards close to his chest, little has been revealed about frontman Corey Taylor’s concept propping up this double-album. Taken word for word from the preview for the forthcoming Dark Horse Comics’ story (yes, it’s due for a… Continue Reading →
For those of you in the know, this is of course a reissue of Whitechapel’s debut, originally released in 2007. Not merely content with a standard reissue, Metal Blade have deemed it necessary to remaster and visually overhaul the album…. Continue Reading →

Deicide, Morbid Angel and Six Feet Under all come from Tampa, Florida. So do Dark Sermon, who have gone on record as claiming to have redefined heavy metal. That’s quite a claim. What’s missing is the evidence. This quartet sound… Continue Reading →
Australia has always been one of my favourite places to check out films from. The country has some fantastic scenery to chew over and some sumptuous movies have really taken it to heart and made the most of things. Classic… Continue Reading →
