Fulci – Exhumed Information (Time To Kill Records)

I recently watched the Gates Of Hell trilogy from the mental gore obsessed Horror director Lucio Fulci and damn was I impressed, well aside from maybe House By The Cemetery (well, apart from the bat scene maybe). None the less… Continue Reading →

Riexhumation – The Final Revelation Of Abaddon (Lavadome Productions)

With a couple of demos and an EP already released this Italian act’s debut full length is as brutal and encapsulating as anything you’re likely to listen to within the death metal sphere. The band’s EP ‘Under The Serpent’s Dogma’… Continue Reading →

Helslave – From The Sulphur Depths (Pulverised Records)

If you have read my reviews of the Cult Graves and Evulsed released from Godz Ov War Productions then you can add another US brutal death metal act to that list of pounding mayhem. This is the bands second full… Continue Reading →

Hideous Divinity – LV-426 (Century Media)

Sometimes, a quick blast of Technical Death Metal is all you need. Nothing too long or played at furious speeds, just a nice short EP with a handful of tracks on it to show off some nice, skilled playing and… Continue Reading →

Frozen Crown – Winterbane (Scarlet Records)

I’m of the personal opinion that Frozen Crown’s previous release “Crowned In Frost” from 2019 was an absolute gem of a Power Metal album. Stamping their own identity on the genre with only their second release was a feat in… Continue Reading →

Malamorte – Mass Cult Suicide (Moribund Records)

The PR blurb hails Malamorte as Italian New Wave of True Heavy Metal Leaders that had me initially interested, with other info including heralding Alessandro Nunzaiati (Lord Vampyr from Theatres des Vampires) as a leader in the Italian scene with… Continue Reading →

Silent Action – Sergio Martino (Fractured Visions)

And here we have a brand-new film company Fractured Visions, a good name boding well for future releases. It’s a bit like the wild west out there with different “boutique labels” (yeah I hate that phrase) all scrabbling to get… Continue Reading →

1782 – From The Graveyard (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Doom is perhaps one of the main genres that I should love but am very hit or miss with. I totally get it, especially the occult appeal, I love that. In fact, one of my favourite releases of the last… Continue Reading →

La Morte Viene Dallo Spazio – Trivial Visions (Svart Records)

Inspired by sci-fi Italian horror films and soundtracks, La Morte Viene Dallo Spazio are a space ritual project on a “free-form journey”. Psychedelic vibes and obscurity would seem to be the bywords here. Mystical and mysterious is how this work… Continue Reading →

Tony Tears – The Atlantean Afterlife (…Living Beyond) (Pariah Child)

We are promised an “exploration of Cult, Magic and Reincarnation” here with the 26th March release date having “esoteric significance.” The innovator of this is cult Italian composer Tony Tears who is one of the founding fathers of the Italian… Continue Reading →

Xeper – Ad Numen Satanae (Soulseller Records)

With a guitarist formerly of Setherial and Impiety and now bass player for Gorgoroth, Italian black metal Xeper are now releasing their fourth album. Stylistically, this is a mixed bag. On the one side, it’s got the air of a… Continue Reading →

3 DreAms NeVer Dreamt – Another Vivid Detail (My Kingdom Music)

Avant-Garde style Progressive Metal outfit 3 DreAms neVer Dreamt hail from Milan, Italy and formed in 2007 as a result of the collaboration between Gianluigi Giradi providing vocal duties (Crown Of Autumn, Winter Mist, Event Horizon) and Andy Signorelli handling… Continue Reading →
