Stormgrey – DNA Of Chaos (Great Dane Records)

This is a well-travelled disc. Stormgrey themselves hail from Lithuania, not exactly a hotbed of extremity looking at Metal Archives. The label are French and they posted it out to us in England. A month later it finally arrives with… Continue Reading →

Abscession – Rot of Ages (Transcending Obscurity)

I’ve been having a discussion with my son. Stay with me on this, it will have relevance! He’s been playing the “Shadow of War” game on the Xbox. “I like it – I mean, it’s got loads of flaws, and… Continue Reading →

Khemmis – Deceiver (Nuclear Blast)

Ah, the much-anticipated return of modern heavyweights Khemmis has finally occurred. This is the fourth album by the Colorado heavy hitters since their first release back in 2015. Now operating as a three piece, their previous albums have all been… Continue Reading →

Dream Unending – Tide Turns Eternal (20 Buck Spin)

20 Buck Spin have seen me right this last couple of years. Hulder, Blood Incantation and one of my albums of the year (still cogitating and deliberating as I type) Worm with ForeverGlade. Due to this, expectation is high with Dream Unending’s debut release.  Add to those hopes… Continue Reading →

Evil Damn – Necronomicon (Hell’s Headbangers)

In recent years the surge of ‘true’ Metal has been quite frankly unbelievable. Despite of course a mass of pedestrian Metalcore lingering about I would honestly say that I feel Metal is generally returning to form. Of course there will… Continue Reading →

Sijjin – Sumerian Promises (Sepulchral Voice Records)

This bands name gave me pause to do some checking into it, I’ve no idea why, but on investigation it appears the name is of Arabic origin and there are potentially a number of interpretations but what seems to be… Continue Reading →

Monument Of Misanthropy – Unterweger (Transcending Obscurity)

Both the last album, ‘Anger Mismanagement’ and their last release, an EP titled ‘Capital Punisher’ were textbook demonstrations in clinical pummelling death metal with a slight tech edging. There has been a wholesale change in the line-up for the band… Continue Reading →

Cystectomy – Deprive To Hollowness (Comatose)

Slam has evolved so much in the time I’ve been a fan. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall and eventual amalgamation and borderline acceptance of Deathcore. I’ve seen Slam go from a silly little genre into a worldwide household Metal… Continue Reading →

Vomit Spell – Vomit Spell (FDA Records)

One of the nice things about reviewing is watching bands grow, in 2020 I reviewed a slew of F.D.A. Records demos, it was a fun and unique reviewing experience for me and one such band who intrigued me was Vomit… Continue Reading →

Heads For The Dead – Slash ‘n Roll (Transcending Obscurity)

International death metal outfit (UK, Germany, Netherlands) have released two previous full lengths of horror based metal but this here short sharp EP I guess is a happy little Halloween film tie in which I got to a little late…. Continue Reading →

Hate – Rugia (Metal Blade)

Polish extreme metal, eh? These days, it’s pretty much synonymous with Behemoth, which – to my mind at least – is a massive shame. There’s been a really great and healthy scene over there for a long time now, and… Continue Reading →

Sulphurous – The Black Mouth Of Sepulchre (Dark Descent)

If you listened to this Danish bands debut album ‘Dolorous Death Knell’ from 2018 then you know that Sulphurous are one of the most horrifying death metal bands that has surfaced in recent years. Everything about that debut reeked of… Continue Reading →
