Mors Principium Est – … And Death Said Live (AFM)

It was in early 2003 that I saw Mors Principium Est’s “Inhumanity” album advertised in a magazine. I can’t remember the exact description but no doubt melodic death metal from Finland came into it. As an enthusiast for Finnish metal… Continue Reading →

Mindreaper – Human Edge (… To The Abyss) (SR)

There are some tracks designed for opening all the windows, cranking up the volume and waiting expectantly for someone to come round to your house* (*flat / cardboard box – delete as appropriate) and thank you for introducing them to… Continue Reading →

Unlit Face – Your Truth Lies (SR)

Formed in the harsh month of December back in 1991, Melodic death metal band ‘Immortal Souls’ were put together by Finnish brothers Esa and Aki Sarkioja. They recorded their first demo back in 1993 yet unfortunately it was never legitimately… Continue Reading →

Synasthasia – Style Collector (Sound Guerilla Records)

Synasthasia (try saying that after a few drinkies) are from Germany, so they obviously have metal in their bones. They released their first demo back in 1999, followed by their first full length album ‘The Land of Lores’ in 2003…. Continue Reading →
