Madonagun – Grovel at her Feet (Great Dane Records)

The first thing I noticed when picking up this album was the sleeve cover’s similarity to Jurojin’s “The Living Measure of Time”. On a white background, a lipsticked statuesque lady in a veil looks heavenward. The mystery that this image… Continue Reading →

Interview – Eis

After three years of significant change Eïs has emerged from the destructive oceanic forces of legal threats, a change of name and the departure of several members last year. Judging by the latest album Wetterkreuz the band has emerged stronger… Continue Reading →

Nine Covens – On the Dawning of Light (Candlelight)

The best way to approach Nine Covens is to accept from the opening few bars that this is not the band we have all guessed the lead singer comes from . It may sound a lot like them but despite… Continue Reading →

Dragged Into Sunlight – Widowmaker (Prosthetic)

When a band is cloaked in a mysterious darkness, such as Dragged Into Sunlight are, it does prick a certain amount of curiosity. It’s not a new concept, secret identities, skulking around in the dark, masked photo shoots, but it… Continue Reading →

F.O.A.D. – Remorse Is For The Dead (SR)

This little four tracker turned up from Lyon in France along with an extra disc containing biog and photos. I always find it odd when a band do this, it seems expensive when a piece of paper will do the… Continue Reading →

It’s late on a Sunday and Overkill are in town. For those who missed their brief gig at the 100 club a couple of months back, the full European tour is now in progress, the band were also taking in… Continue Reading →

Interview – Septicflesh

Blood of the Sun – Burning on the Wings of Desire (Listenable Records)

Formed in 2002 by Saint Vitus drummer Henry Vasquez and Dave Gryder, this is a band that pays homage to the great 70’s hard rock bands in a true and authentic style laden with a massive amount of Deep Purple… Continue Reading →

Zombified – ‘Carnage Slaughter and Death’ (Cyclone Empire)

Formed in 2006 by drinking buddies, Sweden’s Zombified released their debut, ‘Zombified Slaughtermachine’, in 2010. Having no knowledge of this band or their debut, I could at least glean from their name that death metal was the order of the… Continue Reading →

Howlin Widow / Bad Boat (Freak Flag Records)

I like surprises, and the nice folk at new Belfast label Freak Flag sent one to Ave Noctum containing an EP and a single from their new releases. Both are available on vinyl in limited numbers so if either description… Continue Reading →

Inebrious Bastard – Escape From Misery (Crust Almighty)

Sir, you may be a bastard but let it not be said that at the least you are an inebrious one! Got a certain ring to it as does the name of the record label, giving you some sort of… Continue Reading →

Ophidian Forest/Hæresiarchs of Dis – Darkest Origins (Split) (UW Records)

If decomposing, mind-scouring black metal is what your evil doctor ordered, then look no further than Ophidian Forest. Densest Green, the first track on this split with Hæresiarchs of Dis, is the sonic equivalent of waking up happy that you’re still… Continue Reading →
