My Refuge – Living In Anger (SR)

My Refuge are an Italian Metal band (there’s no dragon on the cover so they aren’t stereotypically power metal) with a shiny new four track EP to unleash on the world. And it’s very professionally done in all aspects –… Continue Reading →

Blaze – The Rock Dinosaur (High Roller)

Japan’s Blaze and their ‘Rock Dinosaur’ is their follow up EP to the stunning self-titled debut that landed this way a while back. This band may hark back to the glory days of hard rock and metal and the EP… Continue Reading →

Skapt Av Skog – ST (Fallen Temple)

It seems somewhat wrong that I hold in front of me a three track EP containing ten minutes worth of music and I have everything that has ever been or is likely to be released by a band. Apparently Norse… Continue Reading →

Disfigurement – Soul Rot (Boris Records)

`Soul Rot’ looks like Disfigurement’s first official release. One glance at it, and the listener will almost know exactly what to expect. If you’ll indulge me; the cover has a screaming, mutant skull dripping in green slime and cobwebs, underneath… Continue Reading →

Groan – Ride The Snake (Superhot Records)

Groan are a trip-tastic obsession for me, their releases are genuinely filled with a sense of mystery and character. They are a lot different to the many stoner doom bands out there and a lot of this comes from the… Continue Reading →

Ghost – If You Have Ghost (Universal)

I have just been listening to Roky Erickson, Abba, Army Of Lovers and Depeche Mode. Why on earth I would be doing that is a good question even if I do own several albums by one of the artists on… Continue Reading →

Anubis Gate – Sheep (Nightmare Records)

In advance of their anticipated sixth album in 2014, prog metal band Anubis Gate have chosen to release this 21 minute, three track ep. “Sheep” is available to download for free, with the band’s consent, via the Nightmare Records web… Continue Reading →

Negură Bunget – Gînd a-prins (Prophecy)

Aside from the EP release of ‘Poartă de dincolo’ back in 2011, all has been quiet on the NB front following multiple band rifts and a series of changes in members. When Sol Faur and Hupogrammos left after the release… Continue Reading →

Euglena – Близость (Basement Apes Industries)

Although normally ignoring them completely I could do with the PR blurb for this one but realise that it was a double sided one which was sent out with another release from the label. Work is cut out a bit… Continue Reading →

Foetal Juice – Big Trouble in Little Vagina (Grindscene)

I’m expecting nothing but the best coming from fellow Mancunian death metallers ‘Foetal Juice’. Formed in 2005 they released their first demo ‘Donnakababy’ in 2007and a year later another demo ‘Consume the Consumed’ then an EP in 2009 followed it…. Continue Reading →

Dystopia – Haat (SR)

With a full length and demo out already my first experience of this Dutch outfit is this nicely packaged digipack CD with two tunes of fairly melodic black metal that opens abruptly with “Peace Through Power”. The sound is crisp… Continue Reading →

Cult of Luna – Vertikal II (Indie)

Long gone are the dark and brooding days of one of post metal’s most evil sounding albums – the masterpiece that was ‘Eternal Kingdom’ is long dead and the band once branded as ‘NeurIsis’ have taken a complete U-turn with… Continue Reading →
