I think it’s fair to say that Five the Hierophant’s music doesn’t conform to one genre. Avant-garde, post black metal, doom, ambient and jazz all appear to be in there. One description I read of “Apeiron”, the band’s third album… Continue Reading →
With this latest work of dark ambience comes an interesting story of Finnish collaboration and recycling. While accessible on bandcamp, the principal format of this production is cassette tape. But this is no mass production exercise as Mikko Polus, a… Continue Reading →
If you fancy a bit of noise and distortion, Mekigah is probably not a bad place to come. I did review the album “Litost” and that was something to have to get your head round, but that was in 2015…. Continue Reading →
Are you ready for some “hideous rituals of blood and fire”, some music said to appeal to fans of bands such as Godflesh, Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, Ramleh, Abruptum, Lustmord, Swans and more? Are you sure? The reason I’m double… Continue Reading →
Ah. A precious night arrives as here we have the absolute legendary entity that is Lustmord arriving to prove that only true vision and genius can do dark ambient so well. Brian Williams, the Welsh maestro behind this name, returns… Continue Reading →
This was a welcome arrival and I have a new ‘chill out’ album to go to here and make a change from all the noisy metal stuff. It’s a bit ironic really that it comes from a Polish musician who… Continue Reading →

I do like getting odd things in the post with no accompanying explanation about them and at first I thought I had been sent a film here as it is presented in a DVD style case. On further exploration I… Continue Reading →
This is certainly an EP of two halves and a rather strange one too. Necropolissebeht are a collaboration between German and Canadian members Hekla (Hadopelagyal), Axaazaroth (Nuclearhammer) and errr Ryan. Now Ryan may not have wanted to play the gateway… Continue Reading →
I admit I jumped on this when it showed up: Billed as a one-time only project, this is Perturbator collaborating with Cult Of Luna’s Johannes Persson which to me just sounded potentially brilliant. So, not sure what it would be… Continue Reading →
I saw recently someone exclaim “Hey this dark ambient is a piece of piss to do…” Joking or not the difference of course is that bad, dull, average may be accessible to anyone with a rudimentary software package and a… Continue Reading →
