Feradur – Parakosm (S/R)

I think it’s going a bit far to describe Feradur as “Luxembourg’s death metal royalty” as the publicity does, since I’m struggling to name any band from the Grand Duchy, let alone anyone blessed with royalty. Still, this EP is… Continue Reading →

Dødsferd – Skotos (Transcending Obscurity)

Black Metal has always been a poorer brother to Death Metal for me. It’s a genre often billed as ‘the most shocking genre in Metal’ and stuff and I just don’t see it. Controversial maybe in terms of its murderous,… Continue Reading →

Ereb Altor – Eldens Boning (Hammerheart)

You never knew quite what you were going to get with an Ereb Altor release a few years ago, as they strived to find their own course and identity, pushing away from the main member’s other band Isole. But as… Continue Reading →

Mortifero (Latin/Italian for mortal, lethal, deadly) are a brand new dark folk project from Groningen, The Netherlands, presenting their debut with the EP The Death Ballads on German Ván Records. Founded by vocalist, lyricist and principal songwriter Mortifero, the trio… Continue Reading →

Hideous Divinity – LV-426 (Century Media)

Sometimes, a quick blast of Technical Death Metal is all you need. Nothing too long or played at furious speeds, just a nice short EP with a handful of tracks on it to show off some nice, skilled playing and… Continue Reading →

Bodom Afer Midnight – Paint The Sky With Blood (Napalm Records)

Children Of Bodom are I would say a very iconic band, at least for my generation. Hate Crew Deathroll is certainly an album that I would cite as a bridge between softer Metal and more Extreme music. To me it… Continue Reading →

Cult Graves – Strange Customs (Godz Ov War Productions)

This debut EP crept onto the earth in October of last year, being released digitally and on cassette but has been picked by the Polish label for a proper physical release plus this version has the bands 2018 demo tagged… Continue Reading →

Evulse – Pustulant Spawn (Godz Ov War Productions)

The Polish label has again grabbed hold of a late 2020 release, like the Cult Graves, to give it a further physical release via CD, on top of the cassette version that came out via Transylvanian Tapes. Similar the Cult… Continue Reading →

The Medea Project – Southern Echoes (S/R)

I reviewed the duo’s, comprising of Brett Minnie (Guitars and Vocals) and Pauline Silver (Drums and Percussion), debut last year and this follow up EP is their “live in the studio” set for the online event: “Metal4Africa Summerfest ’21”. And… Continue Reading →

The Harvest Moon – Decline to Disorder (Talheim Records)

The Harvest Moon is one of those single person black metal projects, where the subject is the anxiety of living in a complex civilisation. The individual behind this EP upped sticks in 2018 to experience off grid living in Western… Continue Reading →

For Ruin – Relapse (S/R)

Last year, I had the fortune to review a brace of musical products from Ireland’s best-kept metal secret, For Ruin, for this very august organ (you can find them on these pages). The then-promised follow-up EP to last year’s “Elapse”,… Continue Reading →
