Tony Tears – Music From The Astral Worlds (2010-2014) (Minotauro Records)

Italian label Minotauro Records recently sent in a load of intriguing albums. They release “music from the labyrinth” and deal with a lot of obscure and cult artists from their home country. Not only that but it appears they take… Continue Reading →

NFD – Waking The Dead (Jungle)

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 →

Self-Inflicted Violence – The Sanctimonious Hypocrites of Reality (Art of Propaganda)

Wow, if there’s a list for transformations of 2014 then Lincolnshire duo Self-Inflicted Violence would surely be at the number one spot. Since forming in 2007, the pairing gained a reputation in the underground for playing harrowing depressive black metal…. Continue Reading →

Hateful Abandon – Liars / Bastards (Candlelight)

With a name like Hateful Abandon you could expect this lot to be some sort of doom death conglomeration but they are not as I found out picking up their interesting looking last release 2011 album ‘Move’ on the cheap… Continue Reading →

Northern Crown – In The Hands Of The Betrayer (S/R)

Not too long ago I purchased a CD from a well regarded and signed doom band who shall remain nameless, and when it arrived care of a major online retailer, I honestly thought that I’d been sent some kind of… Continue Reading →

Chances are you have never heard of this rather obscure Norwegian entity but if I told you their roots spread right back in time to the early 90’s when the black metal scene in the country started going all weird… Continue Reading →

Latitude Egress – To Take Up The Cross (Art Of Propaganda)

This would appear to be the work of just the one necromancer known as Niklas or Nerrath to his acolytes. Latitude Egress is the new name given to an old project entitled Licht Erlischt who released two albums via Black… Continue Reading →

Madmans Esprit – Nacht (ATMF)

We should be used to the weird and wonderful emerging from the Far East by now. But South Korea’s Madmans Esprit still manage to sound like they discovered the idea with a strange and beautiful blend of metal that exists… Continue Reading →

Cult Ov Mora – Is Coming (SR)

Only forming late 2013 this is the first offering from a very new Polish cult. They stem from a former melodic black metal band called Hegeroth who reached demo stage but never really seemed to take off beyond this. Looking… Continue Reading →

The Very Metal Diary Of Cleo Howard – Sarah Tipper

Hopefully you have not just heard of the books about fictional metal band Eviscerated Panda by now but have grabbed and devoured them. If not, well they are about a metal act based in Reading England who have over three… Continue Reading →

Fatalism – Mystery Of Death (Eternal Death)

Interesting all round here. Firstly this EP was presented in a small clamshell case (as was one by Tare delivered with it) containing a mini 3” CD and a cassette both with the recorded material on. This is a really… Continue Reading →
