Despite having been going for two decades Fleurety have only released two full length albums and are unlikely to ever bring out another one. The work of Svein Egil Hatlevik and Alexander Nordgaren on these full lengths, previous demos and… Continue Reading →
A new collection of songs from the siren is always welcome for me because as far as symphonic metal is concerned these Norwegians have long been a firm favourite of mine. If you know their history you will be well… Continue Reading →
Translating this Norwegian band and their album title into Devil – Possessed By The Moon And Night, this act equates to some form of black metal super group comprising members from Nettlecarrier, Koldbrann and Kvelertak, and boasting one Dirge Rep… Continue Reading →
Eric E returns with his neo/dark folk project Weh, but this time the world it deals with is perhaps not so perpetually dark. En Natt Kom Doed from last year was steeped in the facets of death, but this one… Continue Reading →

Norwegian overlords, Aeturnus return with a killer album and a new line up. It’s a splendid mix of classic Scandinavian Death Metal with melodic touches and provides a crushingly heavy and dark work for those who still love the classical… Continue Reading →
