Orchid – Wizard Of War (Nuclear Blast)

Another little tease from US doomheads Orchid. A three tracker with one from the forthcoming Nuclear Blast full length (Wizard Of War), one apparently exclusive to this EP (Demon’s Eyes) and one re-recording from the Capricorn debut (Albatross). Wizard Of… Continue Reading →

Deceptor – Chains Of Delusion (Shadow Kingdom)

UK band Deceptor are it’s fair to say pretty old school heavy metal/thrash. No death metal here, just galloping rhythms and neck-break leads with occasional soaring vocals. And vocoder interludes. And songs about war, science fiction and so on. See?… Continue Reading →

Jess And The Ancient Ones – Astral Sabbat (Svart)

Enchanted by magic once more, the Finnish rockers never miss a chance to surprise us. This EP is not so demonic as their self titled full-length CD, but it has a magical, ritualistic atmosphere straight from the 60’s. This is… Continue Reading →

Skon – At the End of a Journey (Hexencave Productions)

Released mid-2010, ‘At the End of a Journey’ has failed to make much of an impression upon the masses, with hardly any reviews to be found either online or in print publications. Formerly known as Carpathia, it is without surprise… Continue Reading →

Fire Walk With Us /Izah – Split (Rising Magma Records)

This bravura exploration of a dystopian future and cosmic times, was led carefully from the hands and skills of both bands. It may contain only 3 songs but its more than enough. In its whole duration, this CD is a… Continue Reading →

Warseid – Where Fate Lies Unbound (SR)

Some people like to be noticed and considering the large, hideously expensive to post box file that this CD and bio arrived in Warseid are amongst them. The CD also sported a cover and insert whose quality puts quite a… Continue Reading →

Euclidean – Euclidean (SR)

Debut EPs are a cruel spectator sport. Just enough to get you in a sweat but all too soon it’s over and then you have to decide who’s won and who’s lost. So often what sounds good in three tracks… Continue Reading →

Broken Edge – Unleash my Soul (Great Dane Records)

Even without reading up on Broken Edge, I’d guessed they were formed in the late 80s or early 90s. Such is their metal style. This EP follows three album releases from the Frenchmen, who quote Pantera and Machine Head and… Continue Reading →

Engulfed – Through The Eternal Damnation (Hellthrasher Productions)

Death metal is best played straight down the line and things do not get more straightforward than Turkey’s Engulfed. A band of no mean experience and formed by members of Decaying Purity and Burial Invocation, this is their first EP (25 minutes) and its as crushing a… Continue Reading →

Heidra – Sworn to Vengeance (SR)

So what can a relatively new band bring to an already overcrowded folk metal field, other than more tin whistles played at break-neck speed? Well, fortunately, there is frankly so much dross that anything half-decent shines like a beacon in… Continue Reading →

Dick Tator – Guts & Glory (Purple Hammer Records)

Any band with a name like this is either aiming to be taken light heartedly or just plain doesn’t give a shit what people feel about them. I can’t imagine ever wearing a shirt with Dick Tator on the front,… Continue Reading →

Milestones – Entropy (Savour Your Scene Records)

SYS records has been holding the banner very high in Northern Ireland with a roster of acts mainly in the hardcore genre. Also the label likes to delve back into the days of old when CDs were non existent as… Continue Reading →
