Hemplifier – The Stoner Side of Doom (Electric Valley Records)

Of late I’ve been on a real Prog kick, with albums from classic acts like Yes and Jethro Tull being matched by tour tickets pinned to the board in my living room, as well as newer acts like Rosalie Cunnningham… Continue Reading →

Cadaver Carnivore – Devouring Eclipse Of Darkest Realm (Heretic Impalement Records / RUMF Productions)

This is the debut album by Russian solo artist Dimitry ‘Necrodaemon’ Krasnopeev, with Andrey ‘Zubr’ Raevskiy providing the vocals to make Cadaver Carnivore, playing rather atmospheric death metal. and I say atmospheric rather than melodic because the melody feels more… Continue Reading →

Prydain – The Gates Of Aramore (Limb Music)

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that there’s been a noticeable upsurge in the amount of fantasy themed Power Metal albums coming out recently, many of which were conceived during or just after the whole coronavirus malarkey. Up-beat Metal and… Continue Reading →

Pupil Slicer – Blossom (Prosthetic Records)

Sometimes, just sometimes, I can reflect on review for bands that I have been privileged enough to write for Ave Noctum and allow myself to luxuriate and say, ‘I told you so’. And so, it has come to pass, that… Continue Reading →

Klidas – No Harmony (Bird’s Robe)

Jazz meets psychedelia. Alternative meets progressive rock. That’s the billing of this album from Italy’s Klidas, who were formed in 2014. Upon reading that this album “represents a path of transcendence”, I set off on the journey. With a calming… Continue Reading →

Wytch Hazel – IV: Sacrament (Bad Omen Records)

Lancashire’s Traditional Hard Rock / Metal heroes return with this, their 4th album. I’ve now reviewed each of their releases, and I’ve been a huge fan of their knack of writing classic, timeless tunes that have a way of worming… Continue Reading →

Hex A.D – Delightful Sharp Edges (Apollon Records)

Another day, another review, and again, another band from Norway. I currently reside in Scotland, a nation with a very similar population, but nothing like the remarkable output of rock and metal of that land across the North Sea. Why… Continue Reading →

Seven Impale – Summit (Karisma)

With a name that may suggest a gore-grind band this is in fact a completely different kettle of fish and I may have got slightly out my depth taking this progressive rock outfit from Bergen to review. But perhaps feeling… Continue Reading →

Garoted – Bewitchment Of The Dark Ages (Lavadome Productions)

This US act has been flying under the radar for over a decade now, which is a shame as their back catalogue is awash with technically adroit brutal death metal. With a change in vocalist comes this fourth full length… Continue Reading →

Demented Heart – Frantic Epidemic (Brutal Mind)

In existence since 2007, having been born out of another band, Indonesia’s Demented Heart now release their second full album. The fare is technical death metal. It promises to be brutal. When reading the accompanying description that came with this… Continue Reading →

Vomitory – All Heads Are Gonna Roll (Metal Blade)

I’m not going to pretend this is going to be a great, detailed in-depth review of Vomitory’s history since the late 1990s and comparing this, the Swedes’ first release since their reformation in 2018, to the older stuff. Because for… Continue Reading →
