Moss – Horrible Nights (Rise Above)

I haven’t really crossed paths with Moss since Cthonic Rites and Sub Templum. It wasn’t a great falling out, just that rather like Centurion’s Ghost they were a band I totally understood why they had so many enthusiastic fans but… Continue Reading →

Miseria Visage – Vanish into Dark (Three Rooks Records)

Birthed in 2012, Miseria Visage is a solo symphonic black metal project based in Leeds. ‘Vanish into Dark’ is an impressive feat for one person when taking into consideration the grandiose of the avant-garde sound of the album teamed with… Continue Reading →

Radiance – Undying Diabolyca (My Kingdom)

Well apparently as I sit down to write this it is International Women’s Day which is apt as this album is conceptually driven by the feminine figure represented by (and I am using the labels words here) “archetypes such as… Continue Reading →

Krysantemia – Lay Down Forever (New Idols)

Italian’s Krysantemia were formed in 2009 by the Secchi brothers, Alessandro & Lucio, with their line up completed by guitarist Alex Ruggeri and vocalist Davide Puccini. Soon after getting together, they self released their debut album “This is Resurrection” which… Continue Reading →

Wolfhetan – Was Der Tag Nicht Ahnt (SR)

This turned up rather than in digital format, presented in a lavish booklet with earthy water-coloured artwork and inside a booklet with some of the most gorgeous nature inspired paintings I have seen in many a moon. From here a… Continue Reading →

Resonance Room – Untouchable Failure (My Kingdom Music)

Dark imagery is at the centre of this work by Resonance Room from Italy. The tones and structures are in the mould of Katatonia, Anathema and Moonspell, and there’s a leaning towards the progressive end of things. But what dominates… Continue Reading →

Victor Griffin’s In Graved – ST (Svart)

For starters, if you do not know who Victor Griffin is, I expect you right now to hang your head in shame and ritually shed your denim cut off.  Since 1980, along with founder member and resident madman Bobby Liebling,… Continue Reading →

Visions Of Atlantis – Ethera (Napalm)

Isn’t it nice to be surprised? After Visions Of Atlantis’ first two releases I rather dismissed them as Nightwish wannabes and confess that I didn’t bother listening to anything after (though I was very saddened to hear of the death… Continue Reading →

Baise Moi – Despentes & Trinh Thi (Arrow)

“Baise Moi” were indeed the words uttered from my lips on hearing a couple of weeks ago that this film had been recently passed completely uncut by the BBFC for the first time in the UK. This really had me… Continue Reading →

Goatcraft – All For Naught (Forbidden)

If you took one look at this album and had to guess, I reckon most of us would go for ‘old school black metal’ as the contents. An Ildjarn friendly racket? This however is actually, according to the PR, dark… Continue Reading →

Anthrax – Anthems (Nuclear Blast)

It was a long time between albums for Anthrax and even longer between EPs. While I thought this EP was just that, an EP, it turns out it’s actually a bonus disc to be added to ‘Special Edition’ release of… Continue Reading →
