Deiphago – Satan Alpha Omega (Hells Headbangers)

Who could have seen this coming? Album number three sees everyone’s favourite Filipino Antichrist’s changing tack, discovering God and playing Christian rock! Yes of course I’m talking out my hat, their tried and tested brand of Satanic Bestial Metal was… Continue Reading →

Trollfest – Brumlebassen (NoiseArt)

Ah, there we are. A beautiful clearing in the forest. The perfect woodland scene, a lilting, delicate sylvan song in the hazy air. Fresh air, beauty. Happy inebriated trolls enjoying the sights and the sounds of nature as they play…. Continue Reading →

Khonsu – Anomalia (Season Of Mist)

One look at Khonsu’s Facebook page tells you a lot about what the band is likely to sound like, though nothing prepares you for the immense blockbuster compositions imagined and constructed by S Gronbech whose band this basically is, but… Continue Reading →

UK Subs, Anti Nowhere League, Discharge, Goldblade, Ed Tudorpole & Dumbjaw – London 100 Club 31/7/12

It’s only 5PM and a big queue already snakes down Oxford Street confusing shoppers, and Olympic tourists. Whets going on we were asked several times? Well this was one of several gigs being held at the venue for free courtesy… Continue Reading →

Munruthel – Epoch Of Aquarius (Svarga Music / Gardarika Musikk)

I was very happy to receive an invite to hear and review this album as it is quite the missing link in the artist’s repertoire and is considered a classic of Ukrainian Folk Pagan Metal. Of course Munruthel has been… Continue Reading →

Interview – Denial Of God

Danish black metal band Denial of God have been crafting horror-inspired nightmares for 21 years. Their latest album, ‘Death and the Beyond’, is a cold mortuary slab of dark art; one which is sure to appeal to fans of traditional… Continue Reading →

Ysengrin – To Endotaton (I Voidhanger)

Helping to permeate the heat of this disgusting American summer as of late has been France’s Ysengrin, who are apparently versed at the art of chilling bones through song.  Please note the singular use of the word song here, as… Continue Reading →

Lyr Drowning – Beyond the Borders (Great Dane Records)

With an unusual sounding band name comes an unusual album. I’d seen this second album from the French band described as “melodic death metal” but this is much more than that. There’s a bit of everything here. The sound is… Continue Reading →

Detrimentum – Inhuman Disgrace (Deepsend)

I have not had the pleasure of hearing Detrimentum’s debut on Grindethic but by all accounts it appears the band has slimmed down to a trio recruiting Anaal Nathrakh’s live drummer Steve Powell to pound the shit out of you…. Continue Reading →

Korpiklaani – Manala (Nuclear Blast)

Finnish folk metal titans are at it again, Korpiklaani ‘The Clan Of The Wilderness’ are now on their eighth album release ‘Manala (Underworld)’; after the spectacular Ukon Wacka I’m hoping for something special. Beginning with the track ‘Kunnia’ with some… Continue Reading →

Dylath Leen – Cabale (Great Dane)

Taking their name from an H.P. Lovecraft fictional city and looking at the cover (brilliantly visualised by Seth Siron Anton) and title maybe a bit of Clive Barker too, I was intrigued to hear what this band sounded like. The… Continue Reading →

Baroness – Yellow & Green (Relapse)

Woah, a Baroness double album. Is that the sound of music aficionados throughout the land having minor orgasms at the mere thought? Well, firstly if you really are a music aficionado then let’s not pretend you are in the right… Continue Reading →
