Kuolemanlaakso – Uljas Uusi Maailma (Svart Records)

Cast your mind back to the last time you were due to sit an exam you had under-prepared for, henceforth resulting in last-minute revision cramming. Do you remember the ghastly sensation of reading over the same paragraphs again and again… Continue Reading →

Diagonal – The Second Mechanism (Rise Above)

French acts have a tendency to test the boundaries of extreme metal on a regular basis as this band from Paris go for a more traditional symphonic black metal approach with the odd twist here and there. Three albums in… Continue Reading →

Old Corpse Road – The Witching Hour – As Spectres We Haunt This Kingdom (Godreah)
