Massive Assault – Death Strike (F.D.A. Rekotz)

            Thick, grunty mid-paced old school death metal, done in the Swedish way, coming out at you from the mean streets of, erm…Holland. This is the second album from these rather brutal Dutch gentlemen, and… Continue Reading →

Fuckhammer – Hammered To Fuck (Grindscene)

It is an old cliché – never judge a book by its cover. I am of course, old enough to know better, but I still assumed, picking up the delightfully-named Fuckhammer’s EP, that it would be awfully-produced death/grind. The cover… Continue Reading →

The Great Old Ones – Al Azif (LADLO Productions)

If you know your H.P. Lovecraft then there’s a good chance you’ll be au fait with most of the themes referred to on this album. The Great Old Ones are a kind of ancient deity in the Cthulu Mythos, whom… Continue Reading →

Coldstrain – I (Spectral Halls)

It would appear that Russian ambient black practitioners of very dark arts Karna are no more. This is a shame as they released some excellent albums such as the excellent Raven (2006). It is not the last of them you… Continue Reading →

Svyatogor – Doctor Veritas (Svarga Music)

If  like me you have been sitting there attempting to pronounce this bands name and letting it roll off your tongue you probably also want to know its meaning. Well the name translates as roughly ‘Mystic Mountain’ and alludes to… Continue Reading →

Beherit – At The Devil’s Studio 1990 (Kvlt)

The legend that is Beherit… an untouchable entity with an original debut album, namely ‘Oath of Black Blood,’ an unmatched slice of BM brilliance. None who has truly listened to the record can question this… except the band themselves. The… Continue Reading →

Hybrid Nightmares – ST (Self Released)

I take a lot of the Australian black metal acts very seriously. It is almost as though they are trying not to be discovered and remain hidden from the public eye, making the music for themselves rather than anyone else…. Continue Reading →

Dodheimsgard – Supervillain Outcast (Peaceville)

The thing that really bugs me about this reissue is that it is Dodheimsgard’s last album, originally out in 2007 and they have not done anything new since it came out. I have no problems with it being put out… Continue Reading →

Mekong Delta – Intersections (Steamhammer/SPV)

I’ve been a fan since I first heard these guys in ’92 and a friend gave me the first four albums, so I’m rather familiar with most of the material that’s been rerecorded for this album. After the first few… Continue Reading →

Theatres Des Vampires – Moonlight Waltz Tour 2011 (Dreamcell 11)

I have an unwritten rule that a band should have at the very minimum ten years history behind them before they release a live product. Sure it is a necessary revenue stream for them but it is something that they… Continue Reading →

Eternal Deformity – The Beauty of Chaos (Code 666)

After 19 years Polish band Eternal Deformity are now releasing their fifth album. I haven’t heard the previous ones, but one thing is for sure. Pigeon-holing this style of music is not easy. I suppose avant-garde metal probably covers it…. Continue Reading →

Interview – Revel In Flesh

Revel in Flesh are a new old school death metal project fromGermany. On guitar, bass and vocals is Haubersson, a musician I have been in contact with for some years now, as we both love our old school death metal… Continue Reading →
