Tortorum – Extinctionist (World Terror Committee)

Mmm, piercing Norwegian black metal with a nasty Swedeath kick — wonderful.  That’s right.  Tortorum have got the perfect fuck-it-all attitude to go along with their caustic blend of precious metals.  Extinctionist, their first release, spews forth fury and intensity… Continue Reading →

Liv Kristine – Libertine (Napalm Records)

Those that have followed this site and its predecessor with any regularity will know that my penchant for Liv Kristine’s unique voice were sown way back when she was in Theatre Of Tragedy. I have followed her solo career and… Continue Reading →

Seremonia – Seremonia (Svart Records)

This album is a mixture of musical traditions and cultures. Seremonia are from Finland and sing in Finnish but play 70s style psychedelic hard rock. The mysterious electronic opening belies what is to come. From the second track “Uhrisuhla” the… Continue Reading →

Altar Of Oblivion – Grand Gesture Of Defiance (Shadow Kingdom)

I have a lot of time for Shadow Kingdom records; they continually unearth both items well worthy of resurrection and new releases of serious class. Basically they know Heavy Metal. So despite the fact I didn’t exactly get on withDenmark’s… Continue Reading →

Grave –Endless Procession of Souls (Century Media)

This is a landmark tenth full length album from Sweden’s  “Masters of Death” who are now joined by Tobias Cristiansson from the ashes of Dismember (whom are sadly missed I might add). Ola Lindgren survives as the founder member in… Continue Reading →

Drug Honkey – Ghost In The Fire (Diabolical Conquest)

My first encounter with Chicago based band Drug Honkey was with their 2008 Death Dub album and I certainly liked what I heard finding it uncomfortable listening, quite filthy and experimental and also unique. Silence until an email turned up… Continue Reading →

Cold In Berlin – And Yet (Candlelight Records)

The second album from thisLondonact is the first one since signing to Candlelight. Having never heard of Cold In Berlin until this came in, I have to say from looking at their website they strike as being a similar “hipster-friendly”… Continue Reading →

Ectovoid – Fractured in the Timeless Abyss (Hellthrasher Productions)

Helltrasher Productions present us with Ectovoid’s debut album, a blacked death affair – with no thrash in sight, ironically. Instead of calling ‘ol good midlands Brumingham their home, we’re talking Alabamians here… die-hards Yankee marauders of the darkened realms of… Continue Reading →

Sexcrement – Sloppy Seconds (Comatose)

As you may have guessed, this is not going to be the most serious exercise in music ever committed to disc but what the hell, we all like a laugh now and then. Of course with tracks like ‘Heard It… Continue Reading →

Lotus Circles – Caves (Dusktone)

A deep electronic wave is the background to a slow and repetitive guitar riff. The machine has started. There are sounds of wind even further behind. The bleakness and tone remind me a lot of the music of Burzum. This… Continue Reading →

Krampus – Survival of the Fittest (NoiseArt Records)

This is actually the debut album from Italian folk Krampus although they have released a couple of EP’s prior to being snapped up by NoiseArt records. As for their somewhat strange name, well a Krampus is a Christmas beasty who… Continue Reading →

Armed With Anger – Ian Glasper (Cherry Red Books)

For me The Day The Country Died by Ian Glasper was the book I had been waiting for years to read. Basically it was a compendium of interviews and anecdotes from all the essential Anarcho punk bands between 1980 and… Continue Reading →
