Phalanx Inferno – The Age of Anti Aquarius (Godz ov War)

This is the debut EP by Phalanx Inferno. The nihilistic lyrics and the fact there’s a Celtic Frost cover here give a clue as to where this US band comes from for inspiration. The Celtic Frost cover is “Jewel Crown”… Continue Reading →

Liquid Flesh – Chair Liquide (Metal is the Law Productions)

So, I know very little about Liquid Flesh, save to say that they are a three-piece band from France. This would appear to be their second album, and I really wasn’t sure what I was going to be in for…. Continue Reading →

Messiah – Fracmont (High Roller)

Well, this is a nice surprise. Switzerland gave us some pretty extreme metal in the 80’s, Messiah were very much a part of that with their death/thrash combo. In itself at the time, there wasn’t so much of this style… Continue Reading →

Garden Of Eyes – Altar Of Despair (Cryptic Blood / AHPN Records)

If you missed my last review of them, Garden Of Eyes is one of at least four projects that young UK one man metal machine Nattskog is producing. This is his very much old school, doom riddled filthy death metal… Continue Reading →

Temple Nightside – Pillars of Damnation (Iron Bonehead)

Ah, the current hot weather spell in the UK makes me think of good old Australia. I tell you what else makes me think of our south of the equator cousins? Blackened death metal. I reviewed 2016’s “The Hecatomb” album… Continue Reading →

Throneum – Oh Death… Oh Death… Determinate, Preach and Lead Us Astray.. (Godz Ov War)

Stalwarts of the Polish scene, Throneum have been around in one form or another since way back in 1996 and have a huge array of releases leading up to this their tenth album. Paths should certainly have crossed anyone into… Continue Reading →

Arrogant Destruktor – No Fucking Mercy (Void Wanderer Productions)

No idea if it’s just lockdown psychosis but I find myself wondering on lots of inanities these days; like how many albums there are with a variation on the philosophical standpoint of ‘no mercy’ with or without profanity. Yep, stir… Continue Reading →

The Rite – Liturgy of the Black (Iron Bonehead)

This is a Danish/Italian group whom have members of the most excellent Krossburst (Ita) and Denial of God (Dnk) with those members also existing within Black Oath. The black/doom approach will bring striking similarities to the Celtic Frost mantle, with… Continue Reading →

Triptykon with the Metropole Orkest – Requiem (Live at Roadburn 2019) Century Media

30 years in the making and the hugely anticipated ‘Requiem’ is unleashed. ‘Requiem’ was started by the legendary Celtic Frost and finalised into the package that sits before us today by the new generation of Tom G Warrior and his… Continue Reading →

Khemmis – Doomed Heavy Metal (Nuclear Blast)

If there was ever a time to listen to doom metal, it would be now. It’s been a surreal and distinctly weird time for all of us; whether you’re a front line worker, or indeed just if you’ve been stopped… Continue Reading →

Cadaver – D.G.A.F. (Nuclear Blast)

What, where, when, how, why? Were immediate questions that hit me when this unexpected body bag turned up in my digital review files. A quick look affirmed that yes, this was the correct Cadaver, the Norwegian one, that had arrived,… Continue Reading →

Bombs Of Hades – Phantom Bell (Black Lodge)

If dirty, crusty, death n roll is your thing look no further. These Swedes have been together since 2002 and between them have an incredible number of bands under their collective bullet belts with Guitarist and vocalist Jonas Stallhammer still… Continue Reading →
