Maze Of Terror – Ready To Kill (Empire)

There is something about South American metal bands which really captivates. Whether it is because their fans are so passionate about the metal scene there (seriously, watch any live dvd from S.A and just watch the crowd!) or because it… Continue Reading →

Bodyfarm – Battle Breed (Cyclone Empire)

Deathcrusher Tour (Carcass, Obituary, Napalm Death, Voivod, Herod) – Manchester Ritz, 30/10/15

Back when this tour was announced I will admit I got a tad excited about it. Obituary and Napalm Death, two of my favourite live acts on the same bill, some good no nonsense thrash in the form of Voivod… Continue Reading →

Division Speed – S/T (High Roller)

“Don’t mention the war. I did it a minute ago but I think I got away with it!”. Thus spake the Cleese Spirit down Torquay way. These days there are quite a few willing to get all “World at War”… Continue Reading →

Black Breath – Slaves Beyond Death (Southern Lord)

For your average metal extremist, raw, unadulterated death metal is always going to be greatly appreciated. Those deeply satisfying, gravelly growls teamed with signature riffs and infectious grooves are guaranteed to get heads banging. One group paying a fantastic tribute… Continue Reading →

Weak Aside – The Next Offensive (FDA)

Originally forming as Spearhead, but changing their name to Weak Aside before their debut album, this is the second album (or third, if you count their 2007 demo) from this German death metal crew. Five years after ‘Ghostleader’, ‘The Next… Continue Reading →

Obituary, M:Pire of Evil, Dust Bolt & Rotting Repugnancy – London Electric Ballroom 1/2/2015

Eternal Sex and War – Negative Monoliths (Quality Steel)

This gruesome twosome began life in Northern Italy in 2001 comprising Thorshammer on vocals and guitars and Gornhar on Drums. Their plan? To channel pure uncontaminated hate through their music. They were eventually joined by Dr Faustus on bass and… Continue Reading →
