Amon Acid haven’t been around that long. Starting life as a duo in 2018, founding members Briony Charvas and Sarantis Charvas have enlisted John Sutcliffe to create a power trio in the truest sense. “Cosmogony” finds the band continuing to… Continue Reading →
They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, or indeed, an album. Many of us have, especially in the world of heavy music. One look at the new album artwork on Aussie band, Arkheth’s “Clarity Came With A… Continue Reading →
Obiat are back. After first making their mark on the London scene having decanted from Poland some twenty years ago, it’s fair to say that they went a bit quiet. There is a fair old gap between their last release… Continue Reading →
Drama and dazzle are at the centre of this, the third album from hyper-speed metal band Armory out of Gothenburg, Sweden. I do believe one or two bands may have come from Gothenburg over the years. There’s a retro feel… Continue Reading →

A collaborative sci-fi Drone metal album? Say what???! Away (Michel Langevin) of Voivod fame and Thisquietarmy (Eric Quach) have been secretly recording music together for some time. They have hours of the stuff apparently and this is phase 1. I have to say at first glance… Continue Reading →
