Degial – Death’s Striking Wings (Sepulchral Voice Records)

It sounds like death and looks like black, as for what it smells of, well rotten meat no doubt. Hailing from Sweden and keeping things very morbid Degial who have been around since 2004 are only just getting round to… Continue Reading →

Power Theory – An Axe to Grind (Pure Steel Records)

US Heavy/Power Metal group Power Theory re-released their debut album only last year, in such a short space of time, they are back with ‘An Axe to Grind’. The music is very traditional metal, as the genre definition would suggest,… Continue Reading →

Edenian – Winter Shades (Bad Mood Man Music)

Female fronted gothic doom bands are two a penny these days, as is so often the case when a genre becomes in vogue. Ukrainian sextet Edenian are the latest band to roll off the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ production line,… Continue Reading →

Nile – At The Gate Of Sethu (Nuclear Blast Records)

Nile’s adulation and maybe obsession with Egyptology is not necessarily unique these days but they were certainly one of the first to my knowledge to actually write entire albums about the myths and legends on the subject. Karl Sanders’ knowledge… Continue Reading →

Ereb Altor – Gastrike (Napalm Records)

Just when you think you know a band, they go and change their spots. Some call this progress. Still others will no doubt nash their teeth, wail and go into over the top histrionics, bellowing at the skies, raging against… Continue Reading →

Malfeitor – Dum Morior Orior (Hellthrasher Productions)

This Swedish death metal band actually formed in 1990, split up in 1995 with some members playing in Blood Mortized from around 2007. Stroll onto 2010 and Malfeitor gets back together. Previous projects like Blood Mortized wanted to capture that… Continue Reading →

Sanguine – Live (SR)

Sanguine have been very active on the live front, I have not caught them myself but they have played as support band to plenty of big hitting acts and festivals as diverse as Ibiza Hard Rock Hell and Download (one… Continue Reading →

Vintersorg – Orkan (Napalm)

Quite a busy chap is Andreas “Vintersorg” Hedlund. It was only last year we had his ‘Pulse Of The Earth’ or ‘Jordpuls’ album and of course his unmistakable harmonious croons have only just been digested on latest Borknagar album Urd…. Continue Reading →

Luca Turilli’s Rhapsody – Ascending To Infinity (Nuclear Blast Records)

I like many others were stunned when Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli decided to call it a day with their joint venture under the banner of Rhapsody, which subsequently became Rhapsody Of Fire due to so called copyrights of the… Continue Reading →

Intestinal – The Rottening (Hellthrasher Productions)

From what I remember of this band’s debut album ‘Human Harvest’ they were a harsh rotten death metal band from Sweden. Go forward a mere two years, and these Swedes have earned their rotten death metal stripes. The sound is… Continue Reading →

Doom Rider – David Gatward (Hodder)

We are more than happy to review the odd bit of genre fiction as well as factual books, if it ties in with our horror and atmospheric tag and that includes novels that are written more for a young adult… Continue Reading →

Whitechapel – Whitechapel (Metal Blade Records)

It is tempting to write two separate reviews for Whitechapel’s fourth full length, one for death metal purists and one for deathcore freaks. Deathcore is oft berated in extreme metal for not being a genuine scene which I find rather… Continue Reading →
