Way back in 2010 I was handed a promo by this Polish blackened death metal lot to review and was eagerly awaiting the full length. Which never turned up. Until now. The confusing thing is it seems to have been… Continue Reading →
Latvia is for me an unknown quantity musically apart from a melodic death metal band called Trendkill Method. This album comes from a far darker place. The short and concise track titles – “Black”, “Witch”, “Sinner” “Agony” etc – convey… Continue Reading →
The Italian horror film industry really died on its arse, there is no other nicer way to put it. Although prolific for decades from the works of Mario Bava through to the Cannibal and Zombie crazes of the video nasty… Continue Reading →
Instrumental bands, a bit of a turn off? A group who just cannot find a decent singer? A bit of a hipster fad from a band trying desperately to be in vogue? Well yes and no as so many get… Continue Reading →

This second full length from the Quebecois duo of Athros and Nordet, who also play in Forteresse and Ur Falc’h respectively, has been a difficult album to review. I was keen to hear it because of the Forteresse connection, although… Continue Reading →
The Other, are a band hailing from Germany, and at first glance you’d think they were Danzig! So it is no surprise to hear that back in the day they were a Misfits cover band called Ghouls in 1999. This… Continue Reading →
When Nothing Remains are from Gothenburg, Sweden, though to be honest you wouldn’t know it. I mean that in an entirely supportive way; there are no overwrought Maidenisms creeping forth, no sickly saccharine duelling guitars to distract away from the… Continue Reading →
