Unspoken – Requiem Aeternam Deo (Deathrune Records)

We shalt not speak of Unspoken!  Well actually I guess we best otherwise this would be a pretty crap review wouldn’t it? This is the second full length from this Oslo based band and my first encounter with them. Reading… Continue Reading →

Ysengrin – To Endotaton (I Voidhanger)

Helping to permeate the heat of this disgusting American summer as of late has been France’s Ysengrin, who are apparently versed at the art of chilling bones through song.  Please note the singular use of the word song here, as… Continue Reading →

Vintersorg – Orkan (Napalm)

Quite a busy chap is Andreas “Vintersorg” Hedlund. It was only last year we had his ‘Pulse Of The Earth’ or ‘Jordpuls’ album and of course his unmistakable harmonious croons have only just been digested on latest Borknagar album Urd…. Continue Reading →

Árstídir lífsins – Vápna lækjar eldr (Ván Records)

Though Iceland’s Árstídir lífsins (meaning “the seasons of life”) is a relatively new group, the music they create is ageless – that which evokes the sights and sounds of towering forests watching stoically over shores of timeless oceans, the scents… Continue Reading →

Witchtrap – Vengeance Is My Name (Hell’s Headbangers)

Well, it’s been six long years since Witchtrap’s previous strike, 2006’s much-praised No Anesthesia, and now finally this lot of English-grammar-loathers have returned. For those unfamiliar with Witchtrap, they’re a Medellínese (Colombian) black/thrash outfit, leaning further away from the ‘black’… Continue Reading →

Necrosadistic Goat Torture – Armageddon Shall Come (Drakkar)

It’s not the first time I have woken up after a night at a gig in London to find a Necrosadistic Goat Torture CD in my pocket and it probably won’t be the last. However this time it’s the bleaters… Continue Reading →

Darkthrone – Sempiternal Past – The Darkthrone Demos (Peaceville)

This 17 track re-mastered work is a re-release of early Darkthrone demos “Land of Frost” (1988), “A New Dimension” (1989), Thulcandra (1989) and Cromlech (1989), together with a couple of Norwegian TV live recordings and a 1999 track “God of… Continue Reading →

Inverticrux – Virgin Reaper (self-released)

Inverticrux used to be called Vintage Flesh, whose 2011 album Hour of the Night Gaunts I previously reviewed (here: http://www.metalteamuk.net/june11reviews/cdreviews-vintage.htm.) So in a sense you can consider this a sequel, and as with every sequel, I (the creator of the review), am convinced it’s ‘better… Continue Reading →

Voidhanger – Wrathprayers (Witching Hour)

Voidhanger is the latest project of Warcrimer, frontman of Polish black death protagonists Infernal War. Considering the lack of any solid output from the latter in the past five years, (save for a split with Kriegsmachine in 2010), it’s far… Continue Reading →
