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 →

Garden Of Eyes – Fetid.Rotten.Cursed (Necrolatry Records)

Nattsakog never sleeps! Well he claims he does but me, I’m not so sure. Garden Of Eyes is another of his projects besides Sykelig Englen (black metal), Hexavoid (‘dissonant death metal’) and Blasphemous Degradation (bloody noisy war metal). And probably… Continue Reading →

Reaper – Unholy Nordic Noise (Iron Bonehead)

So, if there was to be a prize this year for the album title that most accurately described the music therein, it would be “Unholy Nordic Noise”. I like to think that the Swedish crew have just time-travelled in from… Continue Reading →

Defiled – Infinite Regress (Season Of Mist)

I initially thought that this Japanese band was familiar to me only to find that I have not heard them before but after this album I will be checking out their back catalogue. This album captures the essence of brutal… Continue Reading →
