Dumbsaint – Something You Will Feel Will Find Its Own Form (Bird’s Robe)

Dumbsaint is a band whose music is accompanied by film. Having just this album to listen to I didn’t get the benefit of that. But you can get five videos as a download with this hour-long instrumental post rock work…. Continue Reading →

Mushroom Giant – Painted Mantra (Bird’s Robe Records)

As I’ve typed for the benefit of visitors to this site before, if you are only interested in the most “brootal” of screamed metal vomited into a microphone by somebody with a face painted like a badger, click away right… Continue Reading →

Zombi – Liquid Crystal (Relapse)

You know when a band that isn’t Metal gets on a Metal label? Well that really tends to grind my gears. It makes that band into an ‘acceptable’ outlet for the Metal community, why? Can’t you just go on Bandcamp… Continue Reading →

Heavy Trip – Heavy Trip (Burning World)

Heavy Trip – 1970’s vernacular that could mean a really bad time or a reaaaaallllllly good time depending on the intonation. This Heavy Trip are a three piece from Canada consisting of two Cole’s – one Jandrisch on guitars, the other Vibert on bass… Continue Reading →

Arx Atrata / Bleakwinter Shrine / Arx Silvestris – The Warrior Cycle (S/R)

Vladimir Pavelka – Spomienky (Memories) (Beyond Eyes)

You may know Vladimir Pavelka as Cult of Fire’s Infernal Vlad. This album however is different. “Spomienky”, which means Memories, is a long standing atmospheric instrumental work in which Vladimir evokes eight memories of his rural childhood in Slovakia –… Continue Reading →

Anna von Hausswolff – All Thoughts Fly (Southern Lord)

While the pipe organ has long been Anna von Hausswolff’s choice of weapon, she is best known for her warbling, dulcet toned singing voice – a prominent feature on all of her albums, alongside a full band featuring piano and… Continue Reading →

The Oracle – Hypogeum (Repose Records)

Unholy levitating black monks Batman, what on earth is this? Well it certainly looks rather splendid turning up here on 180g vinyl and I prepared for a lesson in grim one-man black metal but one should never judge anything by… Continue Reading →

The Death Wheelers – Divine Filth (Riding Easy)

When I read the…er…concept behind this lot of filthy Canadian bikers trapped in the seventies I was kinda intrigued. Visions of the musical soundtrack to some lost drive-in biker fodder about a drug crisis in Spurcity certainly appealed and their… Continue Reading →
