Phal:Angst – Whiteout (Noise Appeal)

Last album ‘Phase IV’ from this Viennese based project really seemed to speak to me with its mixture of post rock and industrial rooted numbers. They were all of a lengthy running time and sprawled like soundscapes over wide vistas…. Continue Reading →

Thotcrime – D1G1T4L DR1FT (Prosthetic Records)

Thanks to this, I discovered what a thotcrime is, but sticking to the matter in hand the band by this name is a cybergrind group, taking its influence from grindcore, mathcore and hyperpop amongst others. When I saw this album’s… Continue Reading →

[ówt krì] and Pigments – Fractured Lore (Anticipating Nowhere)

Forget the collaboration between Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. You probably have forgotten already. Here’s the real dream team: [ówt krì] and Pigments. These masters of electronic sound art from Finland have come together for this work. The dream may… Continue Reading →

LAWA – Manipulation (Cineploit)

The duo of Austrian “mega synthesists” who manipulate their names into LAWA are Alain Leonard and Alex Wank. Here they are back with the first in a two-part album series which they have classed as an “electronic nightmare”. There is… Continue Reading →

Vaina – Futue Te Ipsum – Angel With Many Faces (Aesthetic Death)

And once again you never know what you’ll get with an Aesthetic Death release but it will be different. And this album by the Finnish Vaina is certainly that. Amusingly their entry on Metal Archives just says black metal. Um…. Continue Reading →

Blood Incantation – Timewave Zero (Century Media)

I’ve most likely touched on it many times before but music for sleep is very important to me. I love putting on Post-Rock, Ambient and even Noise to sleep to, it soothes my soul and means that I can get… Continue Reading →

Dark Sky Burial – Omnis Cum In Tenebris Praesertim Vita Laboret (Extrinsic Recordings)

Every time I review or give radio airplay to a project by Shane Embury I make some cliched comment about him being the busiest and most prolific artist in heavy music. The problem with cliches is that they care created by truths a lot of… Continue Reading →

Mitochondrial Sun – Bodies And Gold (Argonauta)

Niklas Sundin returns once more with his vast array of musical ideas which finally see the light of day. Having previously covered both Mitochondrial Sun releases; the self titled debut and the intense ‘Sju pulsarer’, EP release, “Bodies And Gold”… Continue Reading →

GosT – Rites of Love and Reverence (Century Media)

No doubt I was not alone in looking forward to see GosT when electronic artist James Lollar was unceremoniously sent scuttling back home by Covid, future dates scuppered. It’s a familiar story and it only just seems that things are… Continue Reading →

Thy Catafalque – Vadak (Season of Mist)

Always searching for that perfect Thy Catafalque release? An exquisite mix of blissful electronica highs, melancholy folk and extreme metal intensity? Preferably all audaciously combined in each and every track with a bit of lounge jazz thrown in for good… Continue Reading →

Ordeal & Plight – Her Bones In Whispers (Eisenwald)

Bit of a Tricky one this, in more ways than one. Firstly, we are told that “It is a record for the single individual in a contemplative state,” no problems with that as the way things are many of us… Continue Reading →

Collapse Under the Empire – Everything We Will Leave Beyond Us (Finaltune Records)

This is the world of dark soundcapes, apocalyptic guitars and epic synth sounds, they tell us. It all points to collapse on this, the band’s 8th album release. “Ark of Horizon” is post rock with electronica. The album as a… Continue Reading →
