Oceans of Slumber – Where Gods Fear to Speak (Season of Mist)

This is the sixth album by the Texan quintet and their first on Season of Mist. Gone are Mat V. Aleman, Jessie Santos, and Alexander Lucian, replaced by Alex Davis on guitar and Chris Kritikos on guitar and synth, with… Continue Reading →

Huntsmen – The Dry Land (Prosthetic)

Sludge, doom and post-metal all are stated as being on the menu from this Chicago based outfit. They may well be new to us but are on their third album and this one at first glance seemed to be a… Continue Reading →

Brother Dege – Aurora (Prophecy Productions)

A sentence from the original announcement for Brother Dege’s new album Aurora by his label Prophecy Productions I felt hit the bullseye, because it promised the very thing that a lot of people seek, myself included, from the music they… Continue Reading →

Kinit Her – The Nature Out There (Prophecy Productions)

Fittingly, given the weird and wonderful musical year I’ve had since I started writing for Ave Noctum, my last review of 2023 is as beautiful, weird and gloriously mad as they come. I try to come to new music with… Continue Reading →

Blues for Neighbors – Funeral Piles and Gallows (Road Rat Records)

Having narrowly missed out on reviewing Wayfarer’s recent well-received American Gothic, I figured I was overdue for a bit of dark Americana, and here it is, in the form of Blues for Neighbors, all the way from erm, Poland. Yeah,… Continue Reading →

Wayfarer – American Gothic (Century Media)

Like all nations of the world, the USA has its indigenous folk-esque genres such as country and americana. I’m quite pleased to say Wayfarer from Colorado picked the latter of those two because americana does not have the same sketchy… Continue Reading →

Dee Calhoun – Old Scratch Comes to Appalachia (Argonauta Records)

I imagine that like many folks who visit Ave Noctum, I would not describe myself as much of a Country music fan. The main reason is that the majority of music given that title that the public gets exposed to… Continue Reading →

Cave Dweller – Invocations (Aesthetic Death)

It’s been a couple of years since Cave Dweller’s debut Walter Goodman (or the empty cabin in the woods) entered my unsuspecting ears. I gave it 9.5 out of ten despite finding it hard to describe the profound effect that Adam R Bryant’s… Continue Reading →

King Dude – Death (Ván Records)

TJ Cowgill has made no secret of the fact that King Dude would eventually come to an end. With a career spanning more than a decade, and a discography that boasts two releases for every year of that, he has… Continue Reading →

Oceans of Slumber – Starlight and Ash (Century Media)

It’s only been a couple of years since the release of Ocean Of Slumber’s self-titled album, and while saying they have reinvented their sound would be a complete falsehood, it can be stated that labelling their sound as New Southern… Continue Reading →

Blues for Neighbors – From Roaming About (Road Rat Records)

“Two guys from Poland making music together since forever. There were many bands and even more music genres, now they sit in a kitchen, smoke cigarettes and worship old ghosts with cursed folk blues notes.” The band description for Polish… Continue Reading →

Nechochwen – Kanawha Black (Bindrune)

It’s back to bygone dusty trails of West Virginia, the country roads of which John Denver once put into musical verse when he yearned a return. We wanted one too as it has been seven years since Nechochwen (and amazingly… Continue Reading →
