WolfBrigade – Life Knife Death (Metal Blade)

Wipe yourself down. Strap yourself in. I hope you have been to the bog coz Wolfbrigade are back to drag you by the short and curlies through all the dirt and filth 2024 have to offer. They have been kicking… Continue Reading →

Opium Warlords – Strength! (Svart)

OK gentle readers, strap yourself in. This is a marathon not a sprint. When I popped my head over the parapet and my hand up for this review I had no idea what was in store. 24 tracks! 24 fucking… Continue Reading →

Industrial Puke – Born Into The Twisting Rope (Suicide Records)

Well, while not perhaps the first band to merge the ferocious d-beat energy of Discharge with the all-conquering guitar sound of the HM-2 pedal, Industrial Puke do have both an amusing name, and a knack for not outstaying their welcome…. Continue Reading →

Inebrious Bastard – God Swipes Left (Crust Almighty)

We have touched upon this Australian based act a few times in the past with split releases and 7 inches and now they return with a full album of 14 tracks. Naturally due to the nature of the beast it… Continue Reading →

BloodBox – Post Human Disorder (Headwound Recordingz)

Breakbeat Grindcore? Sounds like a subgenre that would have got Earache chomping at the bit in the early noughties when they were getting excited over Gabber and everything electronic. Bloodbox was born out of NZ Death Metallers Vext in 1999 when CyZERNOBrG and Megalith X moved to Ireland via… Continue Reading →

Doldrey – Celestial Deconstruction (Pulverised Records)

So, a few things made me want to review this album. The first was that the band were described as “proto-death metal”. Now me, I’m a sucker for primitive aggression, so that was enticing. The second thing was that Doldrey… Continue Reading →

Midnight – Let There Be Witchery (Metal Blade)

Midnight is the dark offspring of one man – Athenar from Cleveland Ohio.  Over the last 19 years he has been combining speed metal, D-Beat and Black Metal into a hellish hybrid that has kept many a metal head and punk happy. Let There Be Witchery… Continue Reading →

Mayhem – Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando (Century Media)

“Deep here isn’t it?” says your scribe doggy paddling out of his depth. Well, it always feels like that when someone asks for my opinion on Mayhem that involves anything after De Mysteriis… Really? Yeah actually. Kinda…listened but never really… Continue Reading →

Go Ahead And Die – Go Ahead And Die (Nuclear Blast)

The name (ne brand) Cavalera carries a certain amount of cachet in my mind, despite spreading himself as thin as the dreadlocks Max finally chopped off last year. With the brothers (Max and Igor senior) being founding members of probably… Continue Reading →

Dispyt – Under Tiden Jag Sålde Min Själ Till Satan (Immortal Frost)

What a filthy way to start 2021. Dispyt released this album in December but I put back listening to it until now to allow it to kick the last dregs of sluggishness from my post yule being. This three piece burst forth from Pietersaari in Finland in… Continue Reading →

Christwvrks – Messiah Complex (Apocalyptic Witchcraft)

Jamie Christ is a busy bloke. One of those annoyingly talented busy blokes. He is a tattooist of some renown up at Red Hot and Blue in Edinburgh where he adorns folk with stunning blackwork pieces. This is where I… Continue Reading →

Entry – Detriment (Southern Lord)

A debut album, nine tracks, with a playtime of under twenty minutes – that alone should tell you what genre this belongs to. If it doesn’t, you literally must have been born yesterday. I’ll give you a hint: It’s not… Continue Reading →
