German Metal band Aiwaz (not to be confused with the Italian Death Metal band from years ago…who knew there would be two Aiwaz’s?) are quite a unique entity in their way. They are the living, breathing epitome of melancholy, which… Continue Reading →
I think I am probably one of the few people outside of Australia that has seen this band live, having witnessed their devastating show at Metal For Melbourne in 2017 when I visited the country in January of that year…. Continue Reading →
When Ave Noctum’s dark overlord sent me this latest album by Castle to review I went into a bit of a panic. Checking the prior albums by the band I owned I found I had nothing since their rather excellent… Continue Reading →
There’s a couple of metal bands with this moniker but this version is from Spain and delves into the cataclysmic doom-death subgenre for a third album packed with ideas. I’ve seen various sources purporting that the band blends quite a… Continue Reading →

Little breaks can be a good thing, for example I am now back from a year long hiatus from reviewing. Rather interestingly this first review I have chosen is from Master who themselves have had a bit of a break… Continue Reading →
