Meurtrieres – Ronde De Nuit (Gates of Hell)

Here we have French Heavy Metal for you. The is their follow up to 2020’s self-titled debut EP, a band that’s made some great progress over their short time together. One thing that does put you off is the lyrics… Continue Reading →

Fallen Joy – The Reborn (S/R)

Fallen Joy come back after a recorded silence of 8 years, hence its title I suppose, with a substantial second album of an intro followed by 13 songs. This melodic death metal band has been in existence since 2008. The… Continue Reading →

Miasmes- Répugnance (LADLO)

If this French band had a slogan, may I suggest it would be “No Nonsense”. “Aucune Connerie”, perhaps? Excuse my French. Like their EP “Vermines”, this album is a collection of one word titles which give a clue that the… Continue Reading →

Ǥứŕū – Nova Lvx (Sleeping Church)

Obviously a simple umlaut on their name is not enough for this band. Comprising of four gents and a lady and hailing from various parts of France, not a huge amount is known about them other than the fact this… Continue Reading →

Hyrgal – Sessions Funéraire Anno MMXXIII (LADLO)

I have had the privilege of reviewing this French bands last four releases going back to 2017’s ‘Serpentine’ album and during that time Hyrgal has been steadfastly consistent yet highly ambitious in writing provocative searing black metal, that touches base… Continue Reading →

Ars Notoria – Chronicles (Great Dane Records)

Antoine Grasser is the head honcho is this single mind project hailing from France releasing this decent debut and even getting the release on a quality label. Antoine is a musician and here he does all the guitar work, bass… Continue Reading →

Bacchus – II (Debemur Morti)

This is one of those tricky ones to review as this French trio do not give much away and what they do compared to what is described strikes me as incorrect. Here they follow up debut EP imaginatively entitled I… Continue Reading →

Diablation – Par La Fue (Osmose)

French diabolism is the name of the game here with an outfit comprising of ex-Seth vocalist Vicomte Vampyr Arkames and members of Bâ’a and Ad Inferna among others. We are also told that there is involvement from Hreidmarr from Glaciation… Continue Reading →
