Emergency Gate – YOU! (GoldenCore Records)

During my first listen I was struck by how much this reminded me a little of early In Flames/Dark Tranquillity. They have all the energy and enthusiasm that you’d expect from a band riding high on their current success. This… Continue Reading →

Shining / Monumentum – Pale Colours / The River (Avantgarde / Blood Music)

One of many requests that we get in a week caught my attention stating “We know that in the jungle of promo links and releases to review as for today it might be not possible for you to cut some… Continue Reading →

Hyperial – Industry (SR)

And it begins. Keyboard waves lapping as a tide as the regimented, classic industrial drum sound kicks in. The riff matches it pounding for pounding with the template that’s been with us since Demanufacture. The death vocals rise and Of… Continue Reading →

The Prophecy – Salvation (Code666)

Forget various other bands sporting this name, it is time to pop over to West Yorkshire for the only real Prophecy that means a damn in the world we dwell as far as I am concerned. There is something maybe… Continue Reading →

Enforcer – Death By Fire (Nuclear Blast Records)

Enforcer really hit the limelight with their last release ‘Diamonds’ and this was a little change from their debut release ‘Into the Night’. Whilst I enjoyed ‘Diamonds’ I felt a little cheated as the speed that made ‘Into the Night’… Continue Reading →

Kongh – Sole Creation (Agonia)

Names. Hmm. The problem with some names is that they have been used for one thing or another for so long that you get confused as to when you have been hearing about them recently. Anyway, to clear it up,… Continue Reading →

15 Times Dead – Metasultra (Casket)

I know very little. No idea what Metasultra means. No idea what ‘girth metal’ could possibly mean beyond the variety of rude ideas I just came up with. No idea who started the argument between the two skeletons on the… Continue Reading →

Secret Signs – For A Lifetime (Casket)

Apparently this Spanish symphonic and operatic band formed in Spain in 2005 and recorded just one song which got immediate airplay and inspired the band to write more. I would kind of like to go and find whoever played the… Continue Reading →

Playgrounded – Athens (Casket Music)

Let the progressive metal begin. “Athens” is about … Athens and the dead ends of modern Greece, where Playgrounded come from. This is not parochial however. Anyone can associate with this album. “Athens”, which starts with the title track, hit… Continue Reading →

Execration – The Acceptance of Zero Existence (Comatose Music)

Execration began their assault on the bleeding ears of humanity with a textbook, brutal, death metal pummelling back in 2008. It was a superb introduction to the band which had until then only produced a couple of demos, one in… Continue Reading →

Django Prepare A Coffin – Ferdinando Baldi (Arrow)

First there was a man with no name but a man needs a name if he is to be a hero, especially in the lawless world of the Western. So, in 1966 that name was first given and Django was… Continue Reading →

The Howling Void – The Womb Beyond The World (Solitude)

Ooh this sounds good, thought I as giving it a spin. It also sounded slightly familiar too and I tried to place it all in the grand scheme of things. Luckily a quick glance at the ever useful Metal Archives… Continue Reading →
