Jesus Piece – …So Unknown (Century Media)

It’s not often that you get caught off your guard and welcome the subsequent feeling. It’s not good in the sense of say getting caught off your guard by a lion whilst on safari in the Masai Mara Reserve in… Continue Reading →

Monolyth – We’ve Caught The Sun (S/R)

Shortly after forming in 2006, this French band played their first game of ‘Catch The Sun’ the year after and obviously didn’t singe their fingers too badly as they are back at it again 16 years later. In the intermediate… Continue Reading →

Resist The Ocean – In Death We Are All Equal (Boersma Records)

MetalCore is not my usual sub of the day. I managed to swerve the avalanche of bands that hit 20 years ago with only a few registering on my radar. This may have been snobbery on my part or possibly a… Continue Reading →

Exessus – Asynapse (S/R)

Over the years of writing here I have noticed that I seem to be drawn towards many of the Spanish thrash and death metal acts who we have brought to our attention. A trend I have picked up on is… Continue Reading →

Chaos over Cosmos – A Dream If There Ever Was One (S/R)

I had the pleasure of reviewing Chaos over Cosmos’s 2021 album “The Silver Lining Between the Stars” and what an exciting album that was. It is, to say the least, an adventurous work which was awash with technical and progressive… Continue Reading →

Ahasver – Causa Sui (Lifeforce)

“Causa Sui” is this French band’s debut album. It took four years to make it. Ahasver, as well as being the name of the band, is the mythical immortal man. The only way to translate this in any way to… Continue Reading →

Soilwork – Övergivenheten (Nuclear Blast)

It’s hard to see a new Soilwork album without feeling that you know what to expect. Not that I’m complaining, as I have all 11 albums they’ve released plus other bits. I expect melody, I expect aggression, I expect a… Continue Reading →

Nicolas Cage Fighter – The Bones that Grew from Pain (Metal Blade)

Anything could happen here. Metallic hardcore, late 90s metal and death metal influences form the stylistic backbone of this album. Reading the blurb, it seems to claim to be everything, and above all bigger and better than the Australians’ 2021… Continue Reading →

Scorn -Winds Of Torment (Great Dane)

Scorn are a band from France who formed rather recently (2021) and seem to be wasting no time in getting into gear and putting their work out there. Primarily described as a Thrash metal act with some death metal influences,… Continue Reading →

Ancient Settlers – Our Last Eclipse (Crusader Records)

As things have changed over the last two years with everyone working remotely and collaborating with colleagues which are remotely located, why shouldn’t music do the same? While this sextet comprises of 5 Venezuelan members and a Finn, they are… Continue Reading →

Bloodywood – Rakshak (S/R)

Fairy tale may be going a little too far but the journey of Bloodywood would make an awesome film. There is already a documentary “Raj Against the Machine” which you can watch on YouTube which depicts the bands story up to their… Continue Reading →

The Risen Dread – Night Hag (S/R)

To follow their ep “Delusions (2019), Irish groove metalcore band The Risen Dread are now releasing this, their debut. I haven’t come across the band myself but it is clear that they have been putting themselves about with live shows,… Continue Reading →
