Tag Fields Of the Nephilim
It’s been some time since British Gothic rockers NFD released their last album ‘Deeper Visions’ way back in 2008 although rumblings in the form of 2013 EP ‘Reformations’ made a statement and showed us they were back. It would appear… Continue Reading →
As ‘Seven Bells’ was my favourite album of 2012 it was a bit of a no brainer picking this new EP by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist sG’s spanking new outfit Crone to review. He is not quite tackling everything by himself… Continue Reading →
When Duncan Patterson left Anathema in 1999 after the release of their highly-regarded ‘Alternative 4’ album, a fair few commentators speculated that this could spell serious trouble for the group. A founder member and principle songwriter (alongside guitarist Daniel Cavanagh),… Continue Reading →
Complicated and intricate post black metal here from this Russian duo with their debut EP. Essentially this work consists of two sprawling tacks with plenty of ideas about them. It’s partly avant-garde and out there and also kind of installing… Continue Reading →

I think it is fair to say this is probably the most highly anticipated black metal release of the year especially as it is three years since the last epic album ‘Lawless Darkness’ saw the light! Watain are an enigma… Continue Reading →
This is an absolutely gorgeous collection of songs and I really hope saying so at the start of a review does not lose half of its readers. If you are still here, do stay, as if you are new to… Continue Reading →
A while back I reviewed the split that De Arma did with Fen and expressed a certain amount off cautious optimism with the minor worry that they might be veering a little close to the Fen sound. Well from the… Continue Reading →
The Devil is a strange beast indeed, consisting, according to this self-named album’s cover art at least – of six cowled and masked individuals. Fittingly there is no hint of a band website [is now, see below Ed] , no… Continue Reading →
