Dark Funeral – We Are The Apocalypse (Century Media)

I’ve spoken in the past about how I dislike the whole thought process of catchy is lame or false, it’s simply not the case. Music is there to be enjoyed and as pathetic as it sounds sometimes that means I… Continue Reading →

Blood Incantation – Timewave Zero (Century Media)

I’ve most likely touched on it many times before but music for sleep is very important to me. I love putting on Post-Rock, Ambient and even Noise to sleep to, it soothes my soul and means that I can get… Continue Reading →

Napalm Death – Resentment is always seismic – a final throw of throes (Century Media)

Fine wine. Cheese. Napalm Death. No, this is not the ingredients for the world’s most unpleasant dish, but rather a selection of things that seem to get better with age. As well as being one of the very best live… Continue Reading →

Voivod – Synchro Anarchy (Century Media)

I don’t know about you but it always swells my heart when a band I have followed through the years is still making fresh and invigorating material and not simply going through the motions as a nostalgia act. Voivod are… Continue Reading →

Wiegedood – There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road (Century Media)

This hard to pronounce Belgian trio burst pretty much from out of nowhere back in 2015 with the 1st part of their conceptual trio of albums ‘De doden hebben het goed’. Anyone who heard it knew that great things lay… Continue Reading →

Wilderun – Epigone (Century Media)

Wilderun are a Symphonic Progressive Folk Metal band from Boston, Massachusetts and I’ll be honest, those are three sub-genres of metal I had not actually thought existed as a combined entity. Sure, there’s Symphonic Folk Metal, Progressive Metal, Folk Metal,… Continue Reading →

In his ongoing quest to be featured in one in every three heavy metal bands, Tomas Lindberg is – aside from his main stint as vocalist for a little-known band called “At The Gates” – also the vocalist for The… Continue Reading →

Swallow the Sun – Moonflowers (Century Media)

I reviewed both “Songs from the North” (2015) and “When a Shadow is Forced into the Light” (2019) by Swallow the Sun, and what impressed me was the control of mood and depth. “Moonflowers” is the band’s eighth full release,… Continue Reading →

Bonded – Into Blackness (Century Media)

It’s the business end of the year and it’s that time when folks are busy trying to lock down their end of year lists. A time of year which is rather confusing for people as the need to rank and… Continue Reading →

Omnium Gatherum – Origin (Century Media)

Three years since their last album and a couple member changes to boot, however it would appear that drummer Tuomo Latvala recorded his tracks before departing, since which Atte Pesonen took his spot behind the kit, while bassist Erkki Silvennoinen… Continue Reading →

Lucifer – Lucifer IV (Century Media)

You know, when writing reviews, sometimes the words just flow and the whole thing can be composed, typed up, cleaned up, and submitted in the time it takes to listen to an album a mere two or three times.  Other… Continue Reading →

Vildhjarta – Måsstaden Under Vatten (Century Media)

I don’t really understand Djent fully, it’s also a silly name for a genre. I don’t even really know if I’m the biggest fan of it, but conceptually it’s a cool idea. Tech Metal is also something I’m not that… Continue Reading →
