Slomosa – Tundra Rock (Stickman Records)

Back in 2020, Slomosa released their debut album with the description of their style of music being “tundra rock”. Naturally then, we have the follow up LP entitled “Tundra Rock” and it finds the band continuing to celebrate that vast… Continue Reading →

Tar Pond – Petrol (Prophecy Productions)

With a band name and an album title such as the above this was never gonna be light and fluffy or fast and spiky.  The fact that I have drank too much coffee this morning certainly puts me at odds with this dirty… Continue Reading →

Crone – Gotta Light? (Prophecy)

All good things must come to an end and it was a bit of an unwelcome shock to hear back in the early days of an already dismal year (again) that Phil Jonas had decided to lay Secrets Of The… Continue Reading →

Dead City Ruins – Shockwave (AFM)

For more than ten years these hard-working, hard rocking Aussies have been plying their riff-laden brand of groovy Metal to audiences around the world, garnering a healthy reputation as a good, solid act that enlightens and enhances any gig or… Continue Reading →

Iceburn – Asclepius (Southern Lord)

It’s all too easy to sit back and wallow in your own self-importance and ponder your musical knowledge and experience, so I would be comfortable in saying that there aren’t many bands I would say I have not heard of… Continue Reading →

Grorr – Dduldens Last Flight (Vicisolum Productions)

Witches Of Doom – Funeral Radio (My Kingdom Music)

Italian Metal band Witches Of Doom certainly have a difficult sound to pin down. The name suggests maybe an Electric Wizard style Doom, maybe a St. Vitus style, or at the very least an orange-amped fuzz-laden retro outfit, but Witches… Continue Reading →

Cherubs – Immaculada High (Relapse Records)

Relapse always got it goin’ awn!  I am not going to pretend I have heard of Cherubs who began in 1991, collapsed in 94 and rose again in 2014.  Sometimes, discovering that you have missed out can be a good thing. This… Continue Reading →

Hammerhands – Model Citizen (S/R)

Not sure what they’re gargling in Ontario these days? From first track until last, the vocals ocellate from screamo, shouted barking to gargled, tar thick growling that sounds like a dying victim of a great white shark attack trying to… Continue Reading →

3Teeth – Metawar (Century Media)

If nothing else this album showed me how out of the loop I am, and not just with ‘industrial’. We’ll get to that in a while though. Righty. 3teeth are an LA industrial band currently touring with Ministry and just… Continue Reading →

Seer – Volume 6 (Artoffact Records)

Seer are a quintet from Vancouver BC -why do people always put BC is there another Vancouver – I neither know nor care- what I do care about is the big noise these 5 boys make.  (Edit – I have just… Continue Reading →
