I was blown away by this French bands last album, ‘La Morsure Du Christ’, so much so that I instantly bought it at the time. This latest and seventh album is likely to be on my purchase list too as… Continue Reading →
The first album by this Bristol bunch, Iniquity In Salvation, completely passed me by I’m afraid but due to some nifty social media awareness raised by Wulfhere Productions and a few musicians, this actually rather curious band’s latest release made… Continue Reading →
Seemingly existing only as pertaining to the album title, the word ‘Nightfloating’ seems an easy enough one to deduce. Unless I am completely mistaken it is the liminal state of being where one is crossing the path between wakefulness and… Continue Reading →
How can a band be both so old as to be intensely familiar, but also on their debut album? That is the question that immediately leaps out at me from Steinras’ first, self-titled offering. Because while this might be Steinras’… Continue Reading →
Another addition to my list of ‘I’ve heard of them but never heard them’ are today’s specimens Vanhelgd, not to be confused with DSBM band Vanhelga, whom I would recommend also if you haven’t heard them. Vanhelgd do however also… Continue Reading →

Four years after leaving us to ‘Fathom The Master’s Grand Design’ everyone’s favourite Devilish Danes are back. They have consistently led us down the left hand path since changing their name from Mareridt back in 2002 and put out seven… Continue Reading →
Thirty five minutes is an album to some bands. To Midnight Odyssey I’m kinda surprised they didn’t call this a single but I guess it is four tracks. I’ve been a fan of the project, and Dis Pater’s work in… Continue Reading →
Claiming that Akhlys are “the globe’s premier channelers of abyssal nightmare” seems a bit strong but I get the idea. The band’s fourth album release promises “psychological horror, orchestrated bludgeon and eerie foreboding on a harrowing journey into pandemonic majesty”…. Continue Reading →
This is the third release from solo musician Jacob Björnfot. The debut release was amazing from memory, I missed the follow up so this is my second encounter, albeit the third release. ‘Traverse the Nether’ has a real Dissection feel,… Continue Reading →
