Inconcessus Lux Lucis – Temples Colliding In Fire (I, Voidhanger)

Silent for a few years but it is time to step into the light and “Saturnian Black Magick” of Inconcessus Lux Lucis once more. I think that I am beginning to get illumination from the Manchester based act finally following… Continue Reading →

Mocs & Cucs – Cremem Los Putos Bancs (S/R)

Què? Well one look at the cartoon cover art of this one and I expected a zany listening experience. Mocs & Cucs or to give them their full name Milford Mocs & Gunther Cucs translate from native Catalan to ‘Mucus… Continue Reading →

Moisson Livide – Sent Empèri Gascon (Antiq)

Hey, it’s not all doom and gloom round here and this one has an overriding feel of joie de vivre about it. We are off to SW France and Gascony where this side project of Boisson Divine dwell. Don’t expect… Continue Reading →

Riot (V) – Mean Streets (Atomic Fire)

Riot (the V has something to do with the number of vocalists or something) have been around since before most of you were born. 1975. First release a couple of years later. I’m old and even I only took note… Continue Reading →

Darkthrone – It Beckons Us All……. (Peaceville)

If you don’t know Darkthrone then I suggest before reading this review you go and do some research because trying to plot their history here would probably be a boring exercise for you to read. The basics are that they… Continue Reading →

Morgul Blade – Heavy Metal Wraiths (No Remorse)

This is the second album from Morgul Blade, they are traditional epic blackened metal crusaders who recall tales of fantasy driven inspiration and I must say, always have great artwork! Progressing from their debut ‘Fell Sorcery Abounds’, the blades lose… Continue Reading →

Attacker – The God Particle (Cruz Del Sur)

This US band are currently celebrating their 40th Anniversary, whilst there was a notable gap in the 90’s, the band came back with full force. Blimey, it’s been 16 years since I saw them live in Germany when I checked!… Continue Reading →

Achelous – Tower of High Sorcery (No Remorse Records)

I am a geek. This will not come as a surprise to you if you are reading a review on a heavy music website; it’s pretty much par for the course for those of us who have decided to tread… Continue Reading →

Friends of Hell – God Damned you to Hell (Rise Above)

Tattooist and metal scene stalwart Tas Danazoglou returns with Friends of Hell for more trad metal/ doom dark shenanigans. This is the second opus by Friends of Hell and follows the self-titled debut in 2022. There has been a change… Continue Reading →

Attic – Return of the Witchfinder (Van Records)

It’s been 7 long years since this German bands last output. It is hard to compare them to any other band than Mercyful Fate (more so the King Diamond solo material), primarily from the vocal falsetto style and some of… Continue Reading →

The Wizards – The Exit Garden (High Roller)

The Wizards are a Spanish band I’ve followed for a long time now, each release has its own qualities, statements and groove. The latest offering is no different, but they band expand their influences and deliver an augmented experience that… Continue Reading →

Sentry – Sentry (High Roller)

This is a band formed with surviving members of Manilla Road. You may expect a similar stance, this is true, but it’s a little more than that, this is not a continuation. ‘Dark Matter’ begins with all the hallmarks of… Continue Reading →
