Vuur & Zijde / Impavida self-titled split (Prophecy Productions)

Word has it that grim epicness meets transcendental aural darkness. What this means is that this is a split from Vuur & Zijde from the Netherlands, and the German-US combo Impavada. So first we have Vuur & Zijde, I’d heard… Continue Reading →

Drowning Deep – Human Decay (S/R)

The Alligator Wine – Demons of the Wind (Century Media)

Now I am a big fan of Crocodilians and also of wine. Quids in! Or so I thought…. Alligator Wine are a duo from the Black Forest with not a stringed instrument between them. Drums, synths, organs, percussion. No guitar… Continue Reading →

Smokemaster – S/T (Tonzonen)

Heaven Shall Burn – Of Truth & Sacrifice (Century Media)

Not realising that ‘Of Truth & Sacrifice’ was a double album was probably the biggest school boy error I could have made; however, I grabbed the bull by the horns and pressed play, filled with anticipation for the marathon that… Continue Reading →

Lord Vigo – Danse De Noir (High Roller Records)

Ghostbusters 2. A movie that is often forgotten about by nostalgists. It lacks the Marshmallow man and the first glimpse of Slimer, but I enjoyed it on release and subsequent surprise viewings on T.V. The villain of the piece was… Continue Reading →

Depravation – III: Odor Mortis (Lifeforce Records)
