Nature, and man’s struggle with it, has always been a theme for black metal artists, especially those from Finland and Norway. Although the title, which roughly translates as “Autumn Dying”, is in Finnish, the artist behind this is a German… Continue Reading →
Norwegian’s Saligia return after their successful full length ‘Sic Transit Gloria Mundi’ in 2011 with a new taster of new material in the form of a 4 track EP. Much as their debut album left us with, this is a… Continue Reading →
Not actually a new release in case you were wondering but Vaarwel recently got in touch and asked if I would be willing to go back in time and cover some of his earlier work, apparently the discs were on… Continue Reading →

It’s a brand new year as I sit down to write this review, a new start, a new dawn, the sun is beaming through the window. Life, is it not something to love, to embrace, to cherish? Fuck that load… Continue Reading →
