Modified – Paul Cotrulia (Event Films)

We received an invite to the world premier of this new British Indie movie in Leicester Square. Sure it was only the Prince Charles but out of acorns… The film looked intriguing and it would have been rude not to… Continue Reading →

Sybreed – God is an Automaton (Listenable Records)

To much fanfare comes “God is an Automaton”. This is Sybreed’s fourth album. With influences such as Fear Factory, Meshuggah, In Flames and Depeche Mode, their brand of music is termed “death wave”, which amounts to a mix of extreme… Continue Reading →

Black Magic Six – Brutal Blues (Big Money Recordings/Svart Records)

Black Magic Six are labelled as garage punk, but it has something that little bit extra, don’t be fooled by the brutal blues title, it has no connection whatsoever. Formed way back in 2006, and beginning this album proper with… Continue Reading →

Humangled – Odd Ethics EP (Abyss Records)

I thought these Italian death metallers “Fractal” album was a rather dull affair, lacking imagination and the playing ability to compete on a stage packed with ball breaking and masterful death metal bands worldwide. The two year wait for this… Continue Reading →

Flagellated Seraph – Beyond Salvation (Hellthrasher)

Whilst embracing these ‘Hymns Of Reverse Darkness’ I went looking for further illumination on these whipped angels assuming as they were on Hellthrasher Productions that they were Polish. Wrong straight away as it would appear that Flagellated Seraph come from… Continue Reading →

The Chariot – One Wing (Season Of Mist)

Post hardcore from a band that has been a forerunner of the genre for nearly a decade now. This is The Chariot’s fifth album and from what I garner from a bit of research the band throws musical curveballs on… Continue Reading →

Kryptos – The Coils of Apollyon (AFM Records)

I really enjoyed this bands second album ‘The Ark of Gemini’, but this latest effort, their third, takes India’s Kryptos to a completely different level. By this I mean that the bar has been raised significantly since switching to AFM… Continue Reading →

Witchcraft – Legend (Nuclear Blast)

Has it been worth the wait for Sweden’s Witchcraft, put on hold since 2007 after the release of the amazing “The Alchemist” album? A lot can happen in five years and Witchcraft has not gone unscathed with original founder Magnus… Continue Reading →

Motörhead – The World Is Ours – Vol 2…Anyplace Crazy as Anywhere Else (UDR/Motörhead Music)

Following ‘The World Is Ours – Vol 1 – Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else’ released last year, Motörhead, a British institution in Metal and Hard Rock, will release a second DVD on multiple formats documenting their successful ‘The World Is… Continue Reading →

Stortregn – Uncreation (Great Dane Records)

Whilst Stortregn hail from Geneva, Switzerland, the sound they produce would suggest anything but, delivering as they do a pounding, rasping slab of icy black death; but I’m getting ahead of myself here. Despite forming in 2005, they have not… Continue Reading →

Cryptopsy – Cryptopsy (SR)

Okay, so first thing’s first: lots of people detested the last Cryptopsy album, ‘The Unspoken King’. Personally, I have no idea what the exact problem was as I’ve never listened to it. Not enough cash = no CDs, therefore I… Continue Reading →

Hexvessel – No Holier Temple (Svart Records)

Hexvessel love trees. It’s quite clear that the “Temple” in the title of their sophomore album is referring to all things nature and, in particular, the life cycles of those tall, knotty skyscrapers themselves. Mat McNerney and his “Death Magicians”… Continue Reading →
