Hexis – Aeternum (Debemur Morti)

A prolific live band, self-styled blackened hardcore warriors Hexis here are releasing their third full-length album. Prepare for dark heaviness. The opening song “Letum” has a surprisingly pleasing flow. It’s a bit straight line, which seems to be the recurrent… Continue Reading →

Evil – Book of Evil (From the Vault Records)

Denmark’s Evil are regarded as one of those classic bands, a 1999 re-issue of their ‘Evil Message’ EP with Sortilége helped their heritage, I am sure. Following a bumpy attempt of resurgence in 2015 with ‘Shoot the Messenger’, sole original… Continue Reading →

Invocator – Excursion Demise / Weave The Apocalypse (Hammerheart)

Hammerheart have done a great job re-issuing the early back catalogue of Danish technical Thrash metal band Invocator. The band’s debut Excursion Demise was originally released in 1991. I always found this release to be at the tipping point of… Continue Reading →

Heidra – To Hell Or Kingdom Come (Mighty Music)

On the weekly list of reviews that comes out I put my hand in to cover this album by Danish act Heidra because I read the band had some Amorphis traits in their music. They weren’t wrong it has to… Continue Reading →

Glemsel – Forfader (Vendetta Records)

Striking wrath, exquisiteness and ambience are just some words that could be used to describe these four black metal Danes working in absolute harmony to create their first full length release, ‘Forfader,’ which is laced throughout with haunting melancholy and… Continue Reading →

Slægt – Goddess (Century Media)

This is the fourth album by the Danish quartet, which was formed just over a decade ago, with their debut appearing to have been completely in Danish and from what I’m reading a black metal album at that. While ‘Goddess’… Continue Reading →

Heltekvad – Morgenrødens Helvedesherre (Eisenwald)

It’s often well worth trawling through the vast array of promo material that is thrown at us and ignoring the bigger bands for those that are new underdogs just starting out. Treasure can be found and as far as Danish… Continue Reading →

Vanir – Sagas (Mighty Music)

Obviously, The Danes know a fair bit about Vikings, so it stands to reason that Denmark’s very own Vanir would know their way around a Viking Metal album. And so they should, this is after all their sixth studio album,… Continue Reading →

Detest – We Will Get What We Deserve (Emanzipation)

Quite the back history to Denmark’s Detest, as it turns out. I’m a bit of a sucker for Danish metal, particularly bands from the 90’s, and it turns out that Detest formed way back in 91, and were actually making… Continue Reading →

Dying Hydra – Of Lowly Origin (Narshardaa Records)

First off, this album has arrived in an old school cardboard promo sleeve. Yessssss! Secondly there is no printing on the disc itself so it takes a couple of attempts to put it in the player the right way. OK Boomer! Like a fucking USB… Continue Reading →
