Todesstoss – Das Liebweh-Dekret (I, Voidhanger)

Even taking into account those involved in the non-conventionality of extreme music Martin Lang sticks out as being a real maverick and outsider with his art. Todesstoß have been delivering a musical ‘death-blow’ since around 2000 and under Lang’s tutelage… Continue Reading →

Toadeater – Bexadde (FDA)

Mostly down to their lovely name, I have been aware of Toadeater for a while now but this was the first chance I’ve had to get to grips with them on an album. With a squeal of braking guitar and… Continue Reading →

Goat Torment – Forked Tongues (Season Of Mist)

In the name of Satan, by all means hail, throw the horns at or praise the goat but don’t torment it and certainly never, ever think about molesting one. After all we have all seen what happens in films such… Continue Reading →

Irrlycht – Wolvish Grandeur (Folter Records)

Perhaps it is due to the fact that so much metal within this sub-genre is tarred with the “post” brush right now, almost as if those that play it have forgotten the origins and meanings. It’s unavoidable in a way… Continue Reading →

Live Suffer Die – A Voice From Beyond Death (Moribund)

There’s no way of sugar-coating band names and song title in these dangerous times. It’s the nature of the beast and all we can really do is look upon things with a sense of gallows humour. Live Suffer Die were… Continue Reading →

Ævangelist – Nightmarecatcher (Hell’s Headbangers)

If you’ve missed out on all the drama that has been plaguing Ævangelist, it follows pretty much the same pattern as Batushka – band splits, both parties claim to be the original, blah, blah, blah, no one really cares. On… Continue Reading →

Porta Nigra – Schöpfungswut (Soulseller)

Benighted In Sodom – Carrier Of Poison Apples (I, Voidhanger)

Matron Thorn is one of those musicians who work constantly revolving through various projects. The amount of bands past and present he has been involved in is really quite staggering. From Bethlehem to Ævangelist, Death Fetishist, Devil Worshipper, Oblivion Gate,… Continue Reading →

Bethlehem – Lebe Dich Leer (Prophecy)

1991 The year of Bethlehem’s inception. Since then they have released a plethora of LP’s, splits and EPs. The style within those recordings has whipped between DSBM, Industrial, Black Metal and the outright weird. In 2016 the present incarnation with… Continue Reading →

Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult – Mardom (War Anthem Records)

This 22 year old Germanic Black metal institution that is Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is back with their 6th sacrifice in the form of ‘Mardom’. This is pure, raw, traditional, venomous black metal in its purest form and Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult… Continue Reading →

Obscuring Veil – Fleshvoid To Naught (I, Voidhanger Records)

With just four tracks, only two of which could be considered songs in the traditional sense, my initial impression of “Fleshvoid To Naught” was dismay at what appeared to be an incoherent jumble of half formed ideas drowning in a… Continue Reading →

Interview – Deinonychus

  Landing at the tail end of last year ‘Ode to Acts of Murder, Dystopia and Suicide’ was an album that wrapped up 2017 with a more than healthy blast of negativity. One could be forgiven for having all but… Continue Reading →
