Belgian noisemakers, 30,000 Monkies are an interesting bunch. “I Ate Myself To Grow Twice As Big” is the band’s first full length outing following on from two EP’s. This is a curious mix of punkish attitude, doom and stoner riffs… Continue Reading →
It’s a bit surreal to be writing a review which has been at least co-created by someone who has had such a large part to play in the formative teenage years of my life. I’m not actually talking about Lemmy… Continue Reading →
Still seems strange, you know; a world where Lemmy no longer lives. I mean he was Lemmy, ferchrissake. If ever there was a character, and a guy, who epitomised the ro…. yeah yeah yeah. I know. We all do. Except… Continue Reading →
Italian trio Black Rainbows hail from Rome, a city steeped in history and important significance to the world. Home of so many works of art and considered a cultural masterpiece, the Italian Capital has offered much throughout history and it… Continue Reading →
Der Blutharsch And The Infinite Church Of The Leading Hand – Joyride & The Wolvennest Sessions (WKN)
It took me a while to work out what exactly I had here when these 2 discs turned up. I remembered Der Blutharsch vaguely from the late 90’s as a martial industrial outfit. Helmed by Austrian Albin Julius they were… Continue Reading →

I have been a little starved of hearing the distinct dulcet tones of ex-patriot singer Matthew McNerney aka Kvohst of late. His Beastmilk project rebranded as Grave Pleasures have gained more mainstream success and latest album Dreamcrash didn’t see its… Continue Reading →
In the land of mathematical formulae, Finnish + Pagan + Black Metal will never equal warmth or cosiness, yet while the ambient beginning of this atmospheric adventure suggests cold winds, there is an alluring mysticism in the lapping waters. “Descension”… Continue Reading →
For some reason the name Ironclad makes me think of some sort of dodgy Italian post-apocalypse or medieval battle type movie (anyone remember Hearts And Armour?). It’s a name forged in steel from a time where gangs of people roamed… Continue Reading →
I just had to hear this one, especially when I read that their music features cosmically dark psychedelia and has drawn comparison with Hawkwind, Cult of Luna and Amon Duul II. Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard are from Wrexham/Wrecsam, hence the… Continue Reading →
I received Prime Sinister’s debut album back in 2008 in a nice DVD case presentation box to boot. The French band impressed with a mix of styles that bordered on an eclectic range from doom, stoner, industrial, groove metal and… Continue Reading →
