Horna – Hengen Tulet (World Terror Committee)

Possibly one of the most unsung heroes of the black metal scene worldwide Finland’s Horna has an envious release rate not only in terms of quantity but also quality for over 20 years. This is the bands ninth full length… Continue Reading →

Hanging Garden – Blackout Whiteout (Lifeforce)

Finland. Dark, brooding, cold, moody, grey, a little oppressive and a bit gloomy. I’m talking about their more popular brand of Metal of course – I’m sure the country is lovely – but like their Scandinavian brothers, the Finns do… Continue Reading →

Tyranny – Aeons in Tectonic Interment (Dark Descent)

Is that low rumbling vocal the final warning of a doomed earth tearing itself apart? Or maybe it’s just Tyranny returned from a decade long recording hiatus to put the icing on the cake in what is fast turning out… Continue Reading →

Skepticism – Ordeal (Svart)

Much like the music they play Finnish funeral doomsters Skepticism don’t do things fast. Their last album Alloy was seven years ago and actual shows are hardly a regular occurrence. This perhaps means that combining the two is a bit… Continue Reading →

Speedtrap – Straight Shooter (Svart)

Their last release ‘Powerdose’ was one of the albums of the year on many lists when released in 2013, this hyper active speed and metal act had their eye on the prize for that one. With ‘Straight Shooter’, the energy… Continue Reading →

Amorphis – Under The Red Cloud (Nuclear Blast)

Bonehunter – Evil Triumphs Again (Hells Headbangers)

Not in fact the latest dating app, Bonehunter are a filthy sounding metal-punk & roll crew from Olou, Finland. They’ve been around since 2011 and this is their first full length amongst a history of splits & singles. So what’s… Continue Reading →

Tuliterä – Tulikaste (S/R)

Unlike many folks I know, I don’t have a problem with instrumental albums. Many of the albums I own and play fall into that category, albeit they all seem to be by bands called ‘Symphony’ something or the something ‘Orchestra’;… Continue Reading →

Abyssion – Luonnon Harmonia Ja Vihreä Liekki (Svart)

Finnish black metal may just be one of my discoveries of the year. Ok, I’m not saying I’ve personally discovered it, invented it or destroyed the world, created a new one and declared a ban on any extreme metal that… Continue Reading →

Vorum – Current Mouth (Sepulchral Voice)

There’s been quite a buzz about cult of death Vorum of late no doubt making them one of the biggest exports from the Åland Islands off Finland at the moment. They played the UK recently and I am kind of… Continue Reading →

The Exploding Eyes Orchestra -1 (Svart)

This band was formed by Thomas Corpse, who is also lead guitarist for “Jess and the Ancient Ones” and “Deathchain”, however I must confess right now I am not overly familiar with either of these bands so I will be… Continue Reading →

Shape of Despair – Monotony Fields (Season of Mist)

Funeral doom, from the outside at least, sometimes feels like it must be on the verge of dying out thanks to a conceptual gene pool that makes UKIP policy look broad minded. As a sub-genre within a sub-genre, its sheer… Continue Reading →
