So Much For Nothing – Livsgnist (My Kingdom Music)

This album has been hyped up for a while as being another project to feature the talents of one Mr Kvaforth (Shining). While it can’t quite accurately be described as a black metal supergroup, it does play out rather like… Continue Reading →

The Eden House – Timeflows (Jungle)

This is one of those bands I have been meaning to check out, completely expecting to really like them but annoyingly letting them slip me by. It’s really a certainty that anyone who grew up loving gothic music should enjoy… Continue Reading →

Weh – En Natt Kom Doed (Soulseller)

From the outside looking in, the neofolk scene can seem painfully austere and humourless not to mention the odd troupe here and there flirting with dodgy ideology, unfairly tarnishing the rest. Remind you of any other genre? Being so different… Continue Reading →

RAM – Interview

RAM are a traditional heavy metal behemoth from Sweden, a country containing many of the most promising prospects of the heavy metal genre of late. RAM have had a very healthy underground following with two studio albums behind them, ‘Forced… Continue Reading →

Desaster – The Arts Of Destruction (Metal Blade)

Another band who have been around for absolutely ages are German black thrashers Desaster. It seems like ages ago that I bought their debut album 1996 release ‘A Touch Of Medieval Darkness’ and indeed it was. The fertile stamping ground… Continue Reading →

Enochian Theory – LIFE … And All It Entails (Mascot Label Group)

UK progressive band Enochian Theory have made rapid progress since starting out in 2004. “LIFE .. And All It Entails” is the band’s third album. The recording and mixing were assigned to Rob Aubrey who they met while touring with… Continue Reading →

Tears of Mankind – Memoria (Bad Mood Man Music)

I am often curious as to the mentality behind solo projects. Is it a case that the artist in question does not play well with others? Are they a bit of a dictator? Is it simply that they can’t bear… Continue Reading →

Napalm Death – Utilitarian (Century Media)

Ah Napalm Death, a bloody British institution, up there with tea and cucumber sandwiches, ale from the cask on a sunny summer afternoon, punting down the river and playing cricket. Yeah right! Over three decades and stronger than ever Napalm… Continue Reading →

Pilgrim – Misery Wizard (Metal Blade)

I’ve been a bit of a doom hound since the early 90’s. This intensified during the mid 90’s, when I was ensconced up north in the delightful northern city of Leeds. The reason? Well dear readers, I’m afraid that aside… Continue Reading →

Neftaraka – Morts (Eldritch Lunar Miasma Records)

Last year I noticed a pile of Malaysian Metal magazines as I was standing outside a book store in Pontian, a town in the country’s southernmost state of Johor. I didn’t buy one as it was in the Malay language… Continue Reading →

Horizon Obscur – Parade Lugubres (Self Released)

I was really pleased to be sent this demo from Horizon Obscur, a Canadian band that I have had the pleasure of reviewing before, with their “Damnes” demo that was unleashed about a couple of years ago. At that time,… Continue Reading →

Katatonia – For Funerals To Come (Peaceville)

Has the unimaginable happened, have Peaceville run out of albums to re-release? Joking aside it is good news all round if they have (which we very much doubt) as this has meant that they have gone and unearthed some real… Continue Reading →
