It’s been two years since the brilliantly self-deprecatingly titled “Anti Christian Douchebags” by Sweden’s Wan. This E.P is more of the same – dirty thrashy punky Black Metal. If you are a fan of the Japanese bands Sabbat and Abigail… Continue Reading →
A CD arrived of this, always nice when that happens, and from the stark and somewhat primitive cover and an origin of Finland I was expecting the music to be somewhat savage. Opener ‘Riimunviiltäjät’ is certainly raw and with a… Continue Reading →
I remember this Swedish duo’s debut self-titled album of 2013 which followed on from a slew of demos released from the very start of the Millennium. Now another decade later, which in the meantime saw them apparently release a second… Continue Reading →
Let’s not beat about the bush here. When your album title sounds this much it should already be a Darkthrone album, it’s safe to say you’re wearing your influences on your suitably grim sleeve. To delve further into the known… Continue Reading →

A debut EP release from Medellin in Colombia. ‘Assault to the Coffin’ is Death Metal quartet Graveyard Wind’s first foray into the savage world of both horror and existentialism! Featuring four tracks and opening with mournful gusty tones and strong… Continue Reading →

Must be a full-moon. We just recovered from a savage mauling by Australian band Werewolves and now we have more lycanthropic rage from Columbus Ohio. Invultation is apparently the practice of making and using effigies of people for magical purposes… Continue Reading →
I may be nearing a half century but inside there is still the teenager that was filled with glee when finding pics of King Diamond in Metal Forces magazine and reading the blasphemous over the top lyrics of Venom and… Continue Reading →
