Time can fall heavily on most of us: as I type this the press is sadly full of stories of musical icons succumbing to the ravages of age; my hair is getting grayer by the day; and once vibrant bands… Continue Reading →
I am increasingly of the opinion that if you look up Glen Danzig in some dictionary it will say ‘singer, cat lover, alleged collector of bricks, marmite’. Yeah there is a definite love or hate about him sadly. Heck even… Continue Reading →
This is a second album by a US band labelled as NWOBHM (?!) and Doom. When I first spun this, I can see where this comes from, it’s more like British traditional metal (to give a more recent reference look… Continue Reading →
Diablo Blvd. (or Diablo Boulevard if you prefer) are a Belgian Metal band with comedian for a singer. It’s not that Alex Agnew’s vocals are particularly amusing or his lyrics have your side’s splitting, no, he’s an actual Comedian, a… Continue Reading →
Death Wolf is the side project of Marduk’s Morgan Håkansson, originally known as Devils Whorehouse – unsurprisingly a Misfits tribute. As mildly entertaining as the first Devils Whorehouse EP was, personally there didn’t appear to be much mileage in the… Continue Reading →
This is Italy’s answer to the likes of Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre and with some vocals that sound sometimes like Danzig. Essentially this is tripped out, heavy as hell doom. Even after the first listen, this is an awesome release…. Continue Reading →

Another Prong album, and yet another line-up, the only consistent feature being founder, guitarist, writer, producer and vocalist Tommy Victor, now supported by Jason Christopher on bass and ex-Winds Of Plague drummer Art Cruz. This constant need for reinvention may… Continue Reading →
Debut album by this Swedish mob. They have alumni from the 90s black metal scene in ex-members of Vinterland and early Maze Of Torment, they did a split with Shining in 2013 and they have coaxed guest appearances from Shining’s… Continue Reading →
Doesn’t time fly? It was 2008 when I last laid hands on a Mustasch album, the compilation ‘Lowlife Highlights’, and since then they’ve fired out two new albums, one LP re-recording old tracks, a bunch of singles and EPs, as… Continue Reading →
Any band with a name like this is either aiming to be taken light heartedly or just plain doesn’t give a shit what people feel about them. I can’t imagine ever wearing a shirt with Dick Tator on the front,… Continue Reading →
