Mystical Fullmoon – Scoring a Liminal Phase (ten strategies for post modern mysticism) (self-released)

It’s clear from the grandiose title and claims of this Italian band that this was not going to be an ordinary work. Developed over 15 years and lasting 74 minutes, there’s plenty of time for the promised “iconoclastic fury of… Continue Reading →

Horn of the Rhino – Grengus (Doomentia Records)

This Bilbao band cite influences as far reaching as Soundgarden, Bolt Thrower and Autopsy, I kid you not, and throughout my numerous listening experiences with ‘Grengus’, I can honestly say, this is no bullshit. Each and every track is a… Continue Reading →

Erevos – Descensus Ad Infernus (Orkestral Promenade)

 It’s a cover of wonderfully lurid colours that greets me with the Greek melodic black metal bands debut full length; deep blues, sickly greens and bright blood red. Kind of stops you in your tracks which is probably a good… Continue Reading →

Germ – Wish (Eisenwald)

Tim Yatras is the man behind Australian act Germ. You may not know him by that name but you should no doubt have heard of some of the versatile acts he has been involved in. Where to start? Well it’s… Continue Reading →

Words Of Farewell – Immersion (AFM Records)

I enjoy good solid melodies with plenty of heavy guitar riffs and flowing but intricate lead breaks. Words of Farewell have those in spades. Opening track “Project Daybreak” isn’t terribly fast, but then it doesn’t need to be as there… Continue Reading →

Vargnatt – Durch die Stille (Karge Welten Kunstverlag / Wolfsgrimm Records)

This 30 minute EP follows two 2007 demos of black metal ambiance. What we’re promised from the German musician behind it is something raw and aggressive compared to the previous melancholic and atmospheric works. Sure enough, the five track work… Continue Reading →

Hellvetron – Death Scroll Of Seven Hells And Its Infernal Majesties (Hells Headbangers)

 I know that when I received this album to review that some of my colleagues at Ave Noctum refused to review it due to the duo who make up Hellvetron being affiliated with another active band called Nyogthaeblisz, whose background… Continue Reading →

King – Forged By Satan’s Doctrine (Deathgasm Records)

From South American Hell –Medellin,Colombia– emerge the weirdly named quartet called King. Weird may not be the right word, but it’s the first that comes to mind. Adding the bizarre to the weirdo is the fact that they play an… Continue Reading →

Municipal Waste – The Fatal Feast (Nuclear Blast)

Some time around 2007 you couldn’t go anywhere without some  dude wearing a Municipal Waste shirt thinking he/she looked cool and sporting the latest in fashion metal as the band was everywhere, adorning front covers of mags and getting rave… Continue Reading →

History Of Guns – Whatever You Do, Don’t Turn Up At Twelve (Line Out Records)

History Of Guns are a band of somewhat eccentric oddballs who first caught my attention on Godreah Records ‘Contains No Holy Additives’ compilations as well as the label’s Hawkwind Tribute ‘Daze Of The Underground’ where they covered Angels / Magnu…. Continue Reading →

Interview – Vacantfield

                        Vacantfield came to my attention late on in 2011, when their 3-track EP really stood out as something quite special. Despite these Greek avant-garde black metalists having formed… Continue Reading →

Goatpsalm – Erset La Tari (Aesthetic Death)

I would say here is something new and different from Aesthetic Death but frankly everything we get from this label is different and the acts they sign are all quite unique and at times unclassifiable. With Goatpsalm we take a… Continue Reading →
