Hocico – El Último Minuto (Out Of Line)

You can forget all about Tex-Mex, welcome to Tech Mex. Sorry could not resist that but it is a good enough intro to describe this veritable feast of beats from an album whose full unwieldy title is El Último Minuto (Antes… Continue Reading →

Skrog – The Global Elite (SR)

According to the urban dictionary a Skrog is a) to ruthlessly fuck b) an unwholesome girl. stupid, ugly, and easy c) The most evil thing imaginable. So as for the band of that name who come from Minneapolis, Minnesota I… Continue Reading →

Haiku Funeral – Nightmare Painting (Aesthetic Death)

Warning, very odd alert! Right I have been trying to wrap my head around the world of Haiku Funeral for a while now and really do not think I am anywhere near doing so but here goes for an attempt…. Continue Reading →

P.H.O.B.O.S – Atonal Hypernesia (Megaton Mass)

Somehow I keep seeming to pick up long discs with long songs for review and this is no exception. P.H.O.B.O.S. from Paris play pretty much instrumental material (with the exception of a few low vocal mumblings kept well in the… Continue Reading →

Minority Sound – The Explorer (Metalgate)

When this arrived I was somewhat entranced by all the cover art which suggests something from space plummeting to earth. It was especially profound as we were getting reports of meteor showers lighting up the skies and I was starting… Continue Reading →

Paresis – Last Shadow (Armalyte)

It’s good when a musician is fed up of what he’s listening to and does something about it, so hats off to Mr Simon Fuller a.k.a. Paresis. He describes his project as follows: “Paresis combines ‘industrial’ in the loosest possible… Continue Reading →

In This Moment – Blood (Century Media)

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 →

Nachtmystium – Silencing Machine (Century Media)

No doubt if you are a fan you have been hearing that the new Nachtmystium album is a departure from the psychedelic strangeness of the two ‘Black Meddle’ discs and a return to ‘Instinct Decay,’ even a natural follow up… Continue Reading →

Fester – A Celebration Of Death (Abyss Records)

Having reviewed the two reissues from Fester that came in rather nice digipacks I have to say, my reward I guess is to review the latest and newest album from a reformed Fester that only contains one original member, namely… Continue Reading →

Coldstrain – I (Spectral Halls)

It would appear that Russian ambient black practitioners of very dark arts Karna are no more. This is a shame as they released some excellent albums such as the excellent Raven (2006). It is not the last of them you… Continue Reading →

Reverence – The Asthenic Ascension (Candlelight Records)

Whilst forever being labelled as industrial black metal, I’ve never quite got where the industrial label really came from where they were concerned, save for the title of their debut album ‘Industrial Mental Concept’. Like their countrymen Blut Aus Nord,… Continue Reading →

Concrete Lung – Die Dreaming (Armalyte)

Although breaking our rules a tad and reviewing a single, how could we not when we get it sent to us on nice green vinyl and backed up on CD just in case the reviewer has no turntable? In this… Continue Reading →
