Knightriders – George A Romero (Arrow)

Cutting straight to the chase, Knighriders is a gem of a film and a wonderful movie that finally deserves its DVD UK and worldwide Blu-ray release courtesy of Arrow. Directed by George A Romero in 1981 it followed on from… Continue Reading →

Crest Of Darkness – In The Presence Of Death (My Kingdom)

Scary photos and talk of death must have frightened the original reviewer who was meant to be covering this one off, luckily I am made of sterner stuff and it is going to take more than a clan of sinister… Continue Reading →

E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr – Kometenbahn (Svart)

Well even with a basic grasp of German you should know what an Autobahn is and with Kometbahn it’s not difficult to guess we are heading to space along with the comet’s path. Then there is the name of the… Continue Reading →

Carcharodon – Roachstomper (Altsphere)

Carcharodon, the collective term for a species of large shark, aren’t exactly the most sophisticated band – the Italian’s debut album was called Macho Metal, for crying out loud. There is nothing they seem to enjoy more than swigging whiskey and… Continue Reading →

Beyond the Shore – Ghostwatcher (Metal Blade)

Five guys stand in a sultry pose. There’s nothing unusual about that. The angelic-looking one at the front reminds me a bit of Black Polaris’s Sam Burgess. But Beyond the Shore come from the USA, not Hertfordshire They do have… Continue Reading →

Ghost, Gojira, The Defiled & Feed The Rhino – London Brixton Academy 24/3/13

On the second track here, Cavalry In Thousands, Tengger Cavalry make the traditional Mongolian ‘horse head’ violin they use sound stunningly like a horse whinnying. Your argument, as the Internet says, is invalid. I will assume that you haven’t heard… Continue Reading →

Chaos Invocation – Black Mirror Hours (World Terror Committee)

This bands debut, “In Bloodline With The Snake”, from 2009 was a worthy if predictable addition to the German black metal scene with harsh frostbitten rawness creating the purist view of black metal. Some four years later and we are… Continue Reading →

Nails – Abandon All Life (Southern Lord)

You might be forgiven for thinking that the warm southern Californian climate is an unlikely breeding ground for grindcore. Well, think again. Nails, from this very region and formed in 2007, are grindcore with a capital ‘G’. Having unleashed their… Continue Reading →

Echtra – Sky Burial (Temple Of Torturous)

Sky Burial is the first of three proposed albums from Echtra which are going to make up the projects ‘Passage Cycle’ and explore the “dissolution of the mortal coil.” I guess if you have ever had the misfortune to sit… Continue Reading →

Pombagira – Maleficia Lamiah (Black Axis)

Pombagira are not a band for those with any form of attention deficit disorder as fans of theirs will surely attest. Always creative and always entertaining, it could still sometimes be a bit of a slog getting through a full… Continue Reading →

Saint Vitus, Mos Generator & Witchsorrow – London Garage – 17/03/13

Saint Patrick’s Day, one of the biggest party days of the year in London as all the Irish and those who need to find an excuse to have a drink ventured out to packed pubs, but it was a different… Continue Reading →
