You’ve got to admire Atrocity for being totally un-taggable! You can’t pigeon-hole Atrocity…usually because the band themselves don’t really know what particular genre their next album will be! They’ve given us albums in the style of Death/Industrial/Gothic/Technical Death/Folk/Dark…you get the… Continue Reading →
This is the first full release from Italian band Your Tomorrow Alone whose gothic-progressive output recalls the likes of Paradise Lost, Anathema and Trail of Tears. “Ordinary Lives” was a case of much promise and lost momentum. The promise was… Continue Reading →
As the album title suggests, there’s a strong doom metal element in this work. Whilst occasional comparison can be drawn with My Dying Bride, Mourning Beloveth and so forth, Ukrainian band Amily create a broader base of patterns and progressions… Continue Reading →
The band’s name gives a clue. “Lure of Ephemeral Beauty” is indeed eclectic in style. It is also strange. After a brief film track introduction, the album proceeds with a deliberately raw 90s style black metal riff, accompanied by high-pitched… Continue Reading →

Founded in 2009, Italian symphonic metal band Sinheresy have released “The Spiders and The Butterfly”, their debut EP. With a dual but predominantly female-fronted vocal attack, comparison has been drawn with Nightwish and Within Temptation. It’s true that there’s a… Continue Reading →
Ever since I heard The Damned for the very first time a long standing romance developed. The Love Song may not have been directed at me but the way the band fused punk and later Gothic sensibilities together just made… Continue Reading →
The second album from thisLondonact is the first one since signing to Candlelight. Having never heard of Cold In Berlin until this came in, I have to say from looking at their website they strike as being a similar “hipster-friendly”… Continue Reading →
This is In This Moment’s fourth album release. I heard the first two and particularly liked the first one “Beautiful Tragedy” (2007), which was in a feisty, gothic pop-metalcore style. I thought “The Dream”, while having a good range and… Continue Reading →
