Demoncy – Diabolica Blasphemiae (Hell’s Headbangers)

After eight years smouldering, 2023 saw a re-stoking the infernal fires from US thirty plus year veterans of the black metal world Demoncy. They released an album this year and now this EP sneaks in at the end. So we… Continue Reading →

Hence Confetti – s/t (Bird’s Robe)

A couple of years ago I reviewed a very decent album called “Entheogen” by an Australian progressive metal band called Mish. The leader of Mish went off and formed Hence Confetti, and this is their debut EP. The “emotional heavy… Continue Reading →

Impure Wilhelmina – Dead Decades (Season of Mist)

Here’s your starter for ten: what do Serge Gainsbourg, King Crimson and The Cure have in common? In the immortal words of Jeremy Paxman, come on – we haven’t got all day. No? The answer is that they’re all covered… Continue Reading →

Sicut Glacies – Kalde Minner Fra Fortiden (ATMF)

This appears to be a Norwegian/Italian duo, who released their debut album in 2020 and I am reliably informed (by my own damned research) that it was black metal. This EP however most certainly is not. This, gentle reader, is… Continue Reading →

Wolves in the Throne Room – Crypt of Ancestral Knowledge (Relapse Records)

Wolves in the Throne Room are a band I’ve had a long fascination with owing to them being the first atmospheric black metal act to pass my ears and were among the first left wing bands from the ever-expanding black… Continue Reading →

Waldgeflüster – Unter Bronzenen Kronen (AOP Records)

German atmospheric black metallers Waldgeflüster have decided to release an EP that contains one new song, two covers and a re-recorded song from their early discography. I absolutely loved this bands last album ‘Dahoam’ released in 2021 which I reviewed… Continue Reading →

Miscreantics – Syndicate (S/R)

Here we have a freshly hatched group from Finland with a bit of an apparent chicken fetish! Not sure exactly what that is about but on the strength of the four tracks on offer here they deserve a bit of… Continue Reading →

Finsterforst – Jenseits (AOP Records)

When an album description uses four existing genres and one made up by the band, chances are you’re going to be listening to something that is a) not as described (happens depressingly often when you review as many albums as… Continue Reading →

Heads For the Dead – In the Absence of Faith (Pulverised Records)

Multi-national horror obsessed Death Metal troupe Heads for the Dead follow up their 2022 album The Great Conjuration with a 5 track E.P paying homage to horror classics. If you have heard the aforementioned long player or any of their… Continue Reading →

Goat Monsoon – Living Hell (S/R)

Full disclosure, the band I am in have been on a couple of bills with Goat Monsoon so I have met them and thought they were great guys but don’t really know them.  With that in mind I highly recommend you go and see them live coz they… Continue Reading →

Ifryt – Pluca (Godz Ov War)

A conundrum in three parts. When something is described as “Avant-Garde” alarm bells ring.  Are there going to be nose flutes and field recordings? Ancient Sumerian death rites mixed with Russian Drum and Bass. Ah who am I kidding I… Continue Reading →

Soulcarrion – Soulcarrion (Godz Ov War)

It has taken just over a year for the second release to emerge from this Polish band but instead of an album we have a four track EP that contains three new songs and one tune from the album ‘Infernal… Continue Reading →
