Wolfheart – Draconian Darkness (Reigning Phoenix Music)

There are quite a few bands with this moniker but this version seems to be the most prolific and well known. With six full lengths already released the band has become a beacon in the melodic death metal scene during… Continue Reading →

Decembre Noir – Your Sunset My Sunrise (Lifeforce Records)

It’s the fifth full length album by my calculations for German band Decembre Noir since 2014. I don’t believe I had the pleasure before, but usually Lifeforce Records are a fair barometer that the music within is likely to be… Continue Reading →

Vorna – Aamunkoi (Lifeforce Records)

Have to say beyond the name and the fact that a variety of people of my acquaintance like them, my personal interaction with these Finns has been minimal. So time to correct that came up and here we are with… Continue Reading →

Warhorns: Late Summer Fest – Drax Power Station Social Club 2/9/22

So once more to the land of the elder gods (aka the cooling towers) and the most unique backdrop to a metal festival. This time lit up in the colours of Ukraine which was an interesting touch. Two days of… Continue Reading →

Denali – S/T EP (S/R)

A new band, a new name. I ran into them live a short while back at Warhorns Late Winter Camp which was very enjoyable so I snapped at this when it came in. It is effectively their entire set too;… Continue Reading →

Countless Skies, Akkadian and Must Kill – Portland Arms, Cambridge 5/9/21

I know I’m not alone in welcoming the shift from enforced impersonal video streams of concerts to live performance. Frankly I wasn’t really bothered who it was I went to see first in the post-soulless era but it was good… Continue Reading →

Obsequial Joy – Show My Mercy (Talheim Records)

Just so you know, simply having miserable lyrics does not make you DSBM. Despite the tag on the group’s Facebook, it is an anomaly here. Right, this one person project is from Taiwan it seems, home of the mighty Chthonic… Continue Reading →

Countless Skies – Glow (Willowtip)

As both a music fan and a reviewer there are few things quite as heart-warming as a band who went from leaving you cold to slightly perplexing you to that brilliant moment when your jaw drops and you suddenly realise… Continue Reading →

Rituals – Invicta (Sleeping Church)

We don’t often get singles to review here, much less on CD, so I guess it’s only right to give it a blast. Oh, it’s listed as an EP but with just two tracks and a combined length of 6:18… Continue Reading →

Scarab – Martyrs Of The Storm (Black Lodge)

I ended up with this as a bit of a surprise if I’m honest. A nice one though as I caught Scarab live at Warhorns Festival in 2016 and really enjoyed their performance. Enough to buy an album. For the… Continue Reading →

Warhorns Festival – Rotherham The Trades 31/8/19

Day 2 Bugger. I mess up timings and so me and the rest of the Last Of The Summer Wine cast can’t stop for decent food at the one nice cafe we found. Although bizarrely someone bought a painting on… Continue Reading →

Warhorns Festival – The Venue Selby 16-17/9/16 Day 1

Day 1  Keeping things pagan, Viking and folky with lashings of doom, death and blackness Warhorns Festival has established itself as a great little event over the last few years moving from York to Selby in the process. It brings… Continue Reading →
