Dehumanized – Controlled Elite (Comatose Music)

New Yorkers Dehumanized have been on and off the scene since 1995. However, unfortunately their discography is looking a little empty. With only a demo in 1996 (Terminal Punishment), then a full-length album in 1998(Prophecies Foretold) and another demo in… Continue Reading →

The Big Teutonic Four (Nuclear Blast)

The big four of thrash may well be criminally considered to be American, but when it comes to European thrash and in particular German thrash, then the big four are surly and most unquestionably Sodom, Destruction, Kreator and Tankard. This… Continue Reading →

Blodig Alvor – Mørkets Frembrudd (Indie Recordings)

Since Kvelertak’s global success with their debut album, the Norwegian punk scene has become hot property and over the next couple of months we can expect to be inundated with everything from the groovy to the gritty to the downright… Continue Reading →

With Burning Contempt – Red Visions (SR)

I recognised the sender name on this envelope and assumed and happily prepared myself for a new Project Failing Flesh album. I was right in one respect as the disc had been sent by Tim Guttierez of industrial, experimental thrash… Continue Reading →

Totengeflüster – Vom Seelensterben (SR)

Abiding candidly to the musical cultivation of their roots, inherent to Germany is the Symphonic Black Metal act “Totengeflüster” with their debut release “Vom Seelensterben”. What is very compelling and interesting about the album is their choice to perform in… Continue Reading →

The Fall Of Every Season – Amends (Grau Records)

The Fall Of Every Season comprises of a single person, Marius Strand who takes care of vocals, instruments and programming. ‘Amends’ is his second album and like with many one man bands there’s the possibility that this is either hit… Continue Reading →

Bitter Peace, Esoterica, Krieg & The Many – New World Black Metal (Plastik Music)

Ah the irony of having a 4 track split piece of vinyl before me digitally to review. Naturally if you have one of those old gramophone whatchamacallits lying around you can add this to your wax collection if you so… Continue Reading →

Cnoc An Tursa – The Giants Of Auld (Candlelight)

As a label, Candlelight seem to have a knack of signing bands off the back of a demo before they do anything else. Ear to the ground I guess. Not being privy to their success rate I can’t comment on… Continue Reading →

Coilguns – Commuters (Pelagic Records)

Ever since our head honcho sent me the Coilguns split with Kunz in 2011 I have been hooked on this band whose unique approach to song writing and playing are testament to what can be achieved in extreme music without… Continue Reading →

Devourment – Conceived in Sewage (Relapse Records)

Devourment’s 1999 debut album, ‘Molesting the Decapitated’, was one of the more memorable examples of brutal death metal at the turn of the century. Consisting of down-tuned mayhem, slamming tunes, grizzly cover art and some of the fastest snare rolls… Continue Reading →

Heavatar – Opus 1: All My Kingdoms (Napalm)

Power metal is all about the instant fix. The catchy choruses, the anthems,the cinematic spectacle. In some ways it’s the essence of heavy metal – some of us get that. But in other ways its a path too well trodden… Continue Reading →

Omnium Gatherum – Beyond (Lifeforce Records)

“You don’t want to miss Omnium Gatherum. They’re really good”. This recommendation came from the member of another band playing at the Neckbreakers Ball at the end of 2011. We drank up and crossed the road to The Garage where… Continue Reading →
