The underground grind movement is flourishing in North East Britain. Many well-known names like Wormrot, Eviscorax, Laceration etc. have played gigs here. However, some of the small places, in which these bands play, are not suitable. This is what happened… Continue Reading →
All this nostalgia in metal is at least a good opportunity to join some of the dots and re-live the old days when metal hair was universally permed and speed metal riffs still sounded fresh. It’s also an opportunity to… Continue Reading →
Some metal albums are genuine classics, with tunes which burrow straight into your brain and stay lodged there for the rest of your life. Others are so ridiculously over-the-top you cannot help but love them despite their flaws. This debut… Continue Reading →
There are some albums which I find difficult to grasp the nettle of how to review them. Case in point is Manilla Road’s 1980 debut Invasion. Basically if you’re a big fan you’ll have this already in one of its… Continue Reading →

When ‘The Codex Necro’ dropped in 2001 the raw blistering bludgeoning Anaal Nathrakh served up was by far a more severe punishment than any other band had delivered. The venom and scorn poured from the speakers and a new standard… Continue Reading →
