Black Curse – Burning In Celestial Poison (Sepulchral Voice)

Black Curse, a Denver based Blackened Death Metal act featuring members from Primitive Man, Khemmis, Spectral Voice, Spirit Possession and more. It’s pretty clear these guys have some top tier Extreme Metal credibility. Their 2020 debut Endless Wound proved this… Continue Reading →

Glacial Tomb – Lightless Expanse (Prosthetic Records)

“Glacial Tomb” conjures up dark, dankness partnered with slow moving vastness on a millennial scale. Now this is true of the Denver band on their second full length release. However, the ice mountain is not so lazy in its progress…. Continue Reading →

Deathwhite – Grey Everlasting (Season of Mist)

Melodic doom/death from Pittsburgh. This is apparently their tenth year together, although they aren’t a band which until up until this point I had heard of. The accompanying blurb mentioned a few bands that would suggest that they would be… Continue Reading →

Sergeant Thunderhoof – This Sceptred Veil (Pale Wizard)

If you scoot to the bottom here you’ll notice I am not your regular master of all things stoner and 70s Spenny, but probably to shut me up raving at him he stepped aside for this one. You see I… Continue Reading →

Khemmis – Deceiver (Nuclear Blast)

Ah, the much-anticipated return of modern heavyweights Khemmis has finally occurred. This is the fourth album by the Colorado heavy hitters since their first release back in 2015. Now operating as a three piece, their previous albums have all been… Continue Reading →

Go Ahead And Die – Go Ahead And Die (Nuclear Blast)

The name (ne brand) Cavalera carries a certain amount of cachet in my mind, despite spreading himself as thin as the dreadlocks Max finally chopped off last year. With the brothers (Max and Igor senior) being founding members of probably… Continue Reading →

Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron (No Remorse)

Aside from the cover art – yes, they did go there – the second thing that strikes me about Eternal Champion’s second platter is the confident stride we kick off with from get go. Not so much the lone warrior… Continue Reading →

SpellBook – Magick & Mischief (Cruz Del Sur Music)

Apparently they used to be called Wytch Hazel. Or Witch Hazel. But  even though I’m a bit hazy I think there is at least one other so here we are with SpellBook. From York. No not the UK home of… Continue Reading →

Rotting Kingdom – A Deeper Shade of Sorrow (Godz ov War)

I reviewed Rotting Kingdom’s three track EP back in early 2018 (remember those relatively sane times, readers?), giving it a hefty 8/10, and wanting to hear more. Well, with just a couple of years in the old time-bank, the Kentuckian… Continue Reading →

Khemmis – Doomed Heavy Metal (Nuclear Blast)

If there was ever a time to listen to doom metal, it would be now. It’s been a surreal and distinctly weird time for all of us; whether you’re a front line worker, or indeed just if you’ve been stopped… Continue Reading →

Black Curse – Endless Wound (Sepulchral Voice)

The world has got one hall of a lot bigger and the furthest we can travel is where the music takes us at the moment and this time round it’s off to Denver Colorado. If that gives you visions of… Continue Reading →

Khemmis – Desolation (Nuclear Blast)

Allow me to start this review with a couple of statements that may cause some surprise.  Firstly, I’ve been sat on this recording for a couple of weeks before being able to give it a decent spin as amazingly enough… Continue Reading →
