All Hail The Yeti – All Hail The Yeti (AFM Records)

These Sasquatch-obsessed metalheads are based in sunny Los Angeles rather than the wilds of some wintry country and that is, indeed, rather baffling. Only a mug would believe these songs were written on the beach and their PR blurb leads… Continue Reading →

Martyr Defiled – In Shadows (Siege Of Amida)

Deathcore from Lincoln in the UK, sees the Siege Of Amida roster expanding with ever more brutal metal outfits as Martyr Defiled follow their debut “Collusion” with this seven track EP of new tunes, ready for another tour of the… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Sunday 12th August 2012

Sunday morning. Hungover and suffering from that nearing-the-end-of-the-festival fatigue, one is in dire need of a pick-me-up. Something loud and heavy to get the blood pumping as it were. Off to a galloping start then, are female-fronted Canucks, Kobra And… Continue Reading →

Autopsy – Born Undead (Peaceville)

A new Autopsy DVD already? I was barely done having sex with the previous mythbuster ‘Dark Crusades’. It brought us Autopsy’s legacy, the long-dead legend, a corpse that was never to rise again. We experienced a pack of teenagers playing… Continue Reading →

Caravan of Whores – Road to Kurti (SR)

These Oxfordshire natives are playing some fuzzed out, trip-tastic doom, like a cross between UK contemporaries Slabdragger and Trippy Wicked engaging in bong related incidents whilst making noises. These noises are over 30 minutes and there are only four tracks… Continue Reading →

Fhoi Myore – Fhoi Myore (Ancestrale)

French flair and an edge sharpened on the Eastern plains: Fhoi Myore is a black metal band with a journey to make. It may be a frost bitten, bleak trek across snow capped Nordic mountains and down towards the sprawling… Continue Reading →

Saturnian – Dimensions (Indie)

 We have been keeping our eye on this rising UK outfit and were very pleased to discover that they had been signed to Indie Records recently. The group come from a number of versatile outfits including amongst them The Rotted,… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Saturday 11th August 2012

Napalm Death have this year off so it’s the turn of the other Brummie brutalists Benediction to open the main stage today. It does seem as though one or the other is guaranteed to play the festival each year, not… Continue Reading →

Lustre – They Awoke The Scent Of Spring (ATMF)

I really like my ambient/atmospheric black metal. In part I guess it goes back to Burzum of course, but also Mortiis when Keiser Av En Dimension Ukjent came out and Akhenaton and, oh, stuff like that. The press release for… Continue Reading →

Deadly Remains – Severing Humanity (Deepsend Records)

Now, US brutal death metal obviously has its lovers and haters – especially given the kind of one-dimensional stuff that certain labels began spitting out in the late 90s and early 00s. Taking their inspiration from the fast, brutal and… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Friday 10th August 2012

The way the bands were set up today was going to involve a lot of running backwards and forwards between stages to see the bands we wanted to. I also had fun shooting from the main arena rather than having… Continue Reading →

Winterfylleth -Threnody Of Triumph (Candlelight)

Prickly kind of band, Winterfylleth, or so I always think. Or maybe they are just being open and keen to discuss their ideas of culture and heritage as it impacts on their creativity makes me weirdly defensive. There again their… Continue Reading →
