Iceland’s Kontinuum are an interesting band, starting in 2001 as an experimental metal project mixing doom, punk and dark atmospheric metal. The project expanded in 2010, and with the additional of a musician from a hardcore band and the recognition… Continue Reading →
More welcome re-issues from Peaceville here and I was stoked to receive these as had not heard them for a long time. Neptune Towers is the work of Fenriz of Darkthrone and shows him experimenting in a very different style… Continue Reading →
After a flurry of releases in the late 90s Greek melodic death metal band Dark Vision originally had a more blackened sound apparently, but their slapdash release rate has meant only one full length in 2002 and three EPs since,… Continue Reading →

Hailing from the frozen forests of Canada we have an artist with a Spellbook. This is a one man entity with everything played and vocalised by Luka Milojica and it states on the biog that themes are “magic, evil, nature… Continue Reading →
Linear Sphere set themselves the ambitious task of tracing mankind’s journey through the ages. Ambitious is a good way to describe “Manvantara”, the band’s carefully constructed second album. The opener “Origin” is much more than a scene setter and musically… Continue Reading →
