Pounder – Breaking the World (Shadow Kingdom)

Pounder are an American power trio, a heavy metal band that started life in 2017. The debut album ‘Uncivilized’ arrived in 2019. This was a pounding heavy metal monster, but this time around, they have a much better production quality,… Continue Reading →

War Agenda – Propaganda (Great Dane)

This is the second album from the German outfit formed in 2012, with their debut released 5 years ago. While they describe themselves as a thrash band with a Bay Area sound, they are quite a bit more than just… Continue Reading →

Heathen – Empire Of The Blind (Nuclear Blast Records)

I’ve been a huge fan of Heathen since the early 90s, unfortunately they were already no more by the time I was a fan, not that it mattered, as I would never have been able to see them live from… Continue Reading →

Elimination – Of Gods And Beasts (S/R)

Ipswich thrashers Elimination have charged back onto the UK Metal scene with a new line up for their latest release, the 6-track Ep “Of Gods And Beasts”, a release which features 3 studio recordings and 3 live tracks. For some… Continue Reading →

Mordred – Volition (Independent)

I’m actually surprised I was never more of a Mordred fan in my youth. It probably has more to do with only ever seeing their albums once or twice in ZA and never getting a chance to actively listening to… Continue Reading →

Shrapnel – Palace For The Insane (Candlelight)

Norwich based thrashers Shrapnel are back and much like their name, they are tearing through things without mercy, cutting down all in their path with furious riffs, scathing vocals and piercing lead guitar work. Last time out, “Raised On Decay”… Continue Reading →

Testament – Titans of Creation (Nuclear Blast)

Testament are quite easily one of my favourite thrash bands, and like the majority of them, come from the Bay Area. That could be because I was introduced to most of them by a kid from Oakland that was over… Continue Reading →

Testament, Exodus & Death Angel – Manchester Academy 7/3/20

Without question this stellar thrash package, dubbed ‘The Bay Area Strikes Back’, was the best to hit our shores in a very long time. Indeed the legacy of each band is legendary to say the least as this colossal tour… Continue Reading →

Svarttjern – Shame Is Just A Word (Soulseller)

It might be a new year but it’s still winter, long may it reign! For in the colder months my lust for Black Metal grows. I’m like a Corpse-painted hibernating animal who only emerges to the sound of Battles In… Continue Reading →

Exumer – Hostile Defiance (Metal Blade)

Returning once again to bring the Teutonic Thrash fury, Exumer are here with ‘Hostile Defiance’, the follow up to the impressive 2016 release; “The Raging Tides”. Exposition isn’t really necessary here because face it, Teutonic Thrash metal is something easily… Continue Reading →

Exodus, Sodom, Death Angel – London Electric Ballroom 6/12/18

I’m kinda annoyed that I missed Suicidal Angels, as I was looking forward to getting to see them. Granted I only have ‘Bloodbath’, so their set would have been mostly unfamiliar material, but from the roar of approval they got… Continue Reading →

Ripped To Shreds – Mai-Zang (Necrolatory)

Ripped To Shreds is the one-man death metal project of Andrew Lee, based out of the legendary Bay Area of California. Influenced heavily by SweDeath style metal, grindcore and thrash, “埋葬”(pronounced Mai-Zang, translated to Burial in English) is a hard… Continue Reading →
