Gnaw Their Tongues – Abyss Of Longing Throats (Crucial Blast)

Quick note before we start, you may have seen advertising for a collaboration album from this band “Gnaw Their Tongues” and the Uk’s equally twisted purveyors of filth “Dragged Into Sunlight”, but this is not that album, although for the… Continue Reading →

The Soviet Space Programme – Space Is Hell (S/R)

I am more than happy to be sent into space, the further the better and some may even say I permanently reside there.  This takes me nicely onto this doom, drone, ambient, noise project The Soviet Space Programme composed by… Continue Reading →

Membrane – Reflect Your Pain (Atypeek Music)

“Membrane make a living from working with noise”. And some noise it is. The French band’s fifth album is not the sort of ambient soundscape where figures emerge unexpectedly out of gloomy shadows, but a crashing world of reverberating sounds,… Continue Reading →

Will Haven – Open The Mind To Discomfort (Artery Recordings)

Californian Sludge-friendly, experimental noise metal outfit Will Haven have been around for coming on 20 years now, but aside from the critically acclaimed “Carpe Diem”, released in 2001 and a few big tours in between spells of breaking up and… Continue Reading →

Skat Injector / Nekrokyrpä – Mung Dungeon (Cruel Nature)

Nope I am not faint hearted or easily offended and I can play cassettes. Well that’s a bonus as the result was that I had one of 40 limited tapes of this split C20 red speckled cassette with Skat Injector… Continue Reading →

Legion of Andromeda – Iron Scorn (At War With False Noise / Unholy Anarchy)

Ting, ting, ting, dum, dum, dum, plod plod, plod, growl, growl, growl, thump, thump, thump, judder, judder, judder, gibber, gibber, gibber and repeat for 45 minutes and there ladies and gentlemen you have it, welcome to Legion Of Andromeda. I… Continue Reading →

Zothique – The Shadow Of Linxia (SR)

It really surprises me some of the far flung and obscure bands that find their way to us. This CD came unannounced all the way from Japan with a very polite message asking for review consideration along with biography and… Continue Reading →

Frozen Ocean – Weighing Form (Operator Produkzion)

There is a mad scientist burning away the midnight hours in his laboratory and this could be looked at in two ways. The first is Frozen Ocean’s Vaarwel at work making strange sounds and contorting them. ‘Weighing Form’ is another… Continue Reading →

Trepaneringsritualen and Sutekh Hexen – One Hundred Year Storm (Pesanta Urfolk)

This lengthy band name, which at first seems to be longer than the two tracks on the album, is in fact a collaboration of two bands. Trepaneringsritualen are an exponent of themes involving occult realms, while Sutekh Hexen, a black… Continue Reading →

Neige Morte – Bicephaale (Consouling Sounds)

Fucked up French black metal is virtually par for the course for this nation, when it comes to wreaking havoc on the unsuspected listener and Neige Morte do just that with their second full length. This is not easy music… Continue Reading →

Welington Irish Black Warrior – Vafancuneo (Hummus Records)

The arty impression on the sleeve gives only a slight hint of what to expect. This 25 minute album by a trio from Switzerland is as curious as the band’s name. “Blackwave” is a term I’ve seen used to describe… Continue Reading →

Indian – From All Purity (Relapse)

For people not seasoned to the harshest and most frightening reaches of the doom branch of the metal genre, Indian may come across as a rather uncomfortable and intimidating experience. However, it is in these conditions that the band thrives… Continue Reading →
