Anubis Gate – Horizons (Nightmare Records)

I’ve always had trouble getting to grips with Anubis Gate. Why I should need to “get to grips” with a band is of course a moot point. In spite of interviewing their highly articulate multi-instrumentalist Kim Oleson and seeing them… Continue Reading →

Anti Ritual – ST (Indisciplinarian / Vendetta)

Ah, lovely. As refreshing as a good kick to the shins from somewhere round Copenhagen way come’s the four guys that make up Anti Ritual. Blessed with the kind of chops that you suspect only come from being around a… Continue Reading →

Fossils – Flesh Hammer (Indisciplinarian)

“Hey Lee, how do you fancy reviewing a drum and bass album”? the Ed enquired. As he hastily retreated amidst a shower of expletives, threats and assorted stationery he informed me under protest that this was drum and bass album… Continue Reading →

Interview – Roarback

Roarback! A name you’d best get familiar with. These Danish thrashers are only just out of their teens and have released a total banger of a debut album with ‘Echoes Of Pain’. Ave Noctum caught up with vocalist Dennis Ullehus… Continue Reading →

Roarback – Echoes Of Pain (Mighty Music)

Not the first country that springs to mind when you think of thrash metal is it? I mean yeah King Diamond is a legend and Artillery are a fine band ……. and some Napster suing dwarf drummer from Denmark did… Continue Reading →

Woebegone Obscured – Marrow of Dreams (I, Voidhanger)

With cover art featuring a joyously glowing daisy, you’d be forgiven for thinking this album was some kind of hippie chillout extravaganza had it not been for the fact you are currently perusing Ave Noctum. Of course, reality is far… Continue Reading →

Phantom – Incendiary Serum (I, Voidhanger)

First album from this Danish band and odd things are afoot. Upfront I need to say that Phantom are seriously, highly promising (which only makes sense as I, Voidhanger know their stuff): They are brimming over with more ideas than… Continue Reading →

Artillery – Legions (Metal Blade)

Ah, another album where I can drag out the hoary old cliche “I’m old enough to remember when their debut came out… “. True, I do remember the Danes’ ‘Fear Of Tomorrow ‘ but frankly as I’ve heard nothing since,… Continue Reading →

Anubis Gate – Sheep (Nightmare Records)

In advance of their anticipated sixth album in 2014, prog metal band Anubis Gate have chosen to release this 21 minute, three track ep. “Sheep” is available to download for free, with the band’s consent, via the Nightmare Records web… Continue Reading →

Scarred By Beauty – Cape Zero (Redfield)

Slightly emo name, a metalcore tag, I should be worried about this one really but nope, one listen to these Danes told me all I needed to know that this was as full of pain as a faceplant in the… Continue Reading →

Inbreeding Rednecks – Abnormal Life Portrayed (Mighty Music)

Inbreeding Rednecks sound as though they ought to come from Arkansas, but in fact they’re a group of experienced musicians from Denmark with a passion for old school death metal. This, then, is what we get in copious quantities. Grim… Continue Reading →

Interview – Helhorse

When Denmark’s Helhorse dropped Oh Death on us it was a mighty impressive and mature piece of hardcore driven rock n metal and catchy as Hel(l) to boot. So given the chance to fire a few questions their way, Ave… Continue Reading →
