Vomitor – The Escalation (Hells Headbangers)

Firstly, if you like Vomitor, just buy this already. They still sound like Vomitor so you’ll be happy as pigs in shit. But wait! Some people haven’t heard them! Well I shall guide you to the light… er dark and……. Continue Reading →

Neokhrome – Perihelion (SR)

Well I guessed that Perihelion had something to do with astronomy and indeed it is the point that a planet or asteroid is nearest to the sun. The cover of the album here kind of gives that one away too…. Continue Reading →

Zushakon – ST (Sonic Blast Media)

Zushakon are a two man black metal band from Singapore. Influenced themselves by the likes of Mayhem, Darkthrone and Bathory, they describe the music scene in their country as “safe and sterile”. I’d say that’s the country, not the music…. Continue Reading →

Munruthel – CREEDamage (Svarga)

Ereb Altor – Gastrike (Napalm Records)

Hrafnblóð – Heathen Psalms (Wodfreca Records)

I admit to having severe cynicism for one man (or woman) metal projects, as it conjures up images of desperate teenage angst ridden isolationists spreading themselves far too thinly without actually mastering one particular instrument and do it full justice… Continue Reading →

Valknacht – Chants De Guerre (CDMR)

60 minutes plus of pagan black metal is not something I would generally be enthralled about, but Canada’s Valknacht kept me occupied with ease throughout this albums duration. As with all pagan influenced albums this starts with battle like noises… Continue Reading →

VA – Voices From Valhalla: A Tribute To Bathory (Godreah)

I always look forward to getting things from cottage industry label Godreah. They do things the old way, putting out quality instead of quantity in the form of both eclectic bands and compilation discs. Like their Hawkwind tribute, the title… Continue Reading →
