Right off the bat, I really wasn’t sure what I was going to get when I popped this CD into the player. The only things I knew were that Agnes Vein were a Greek band, but upon further inspection I… Continue Reading →
A debut album from this revolting, regal French musician going by the name of Baurus. His debut EP ‘Vile’ of a couple of years ago may have passed you by but if not, you would no doubt have been struck… Continue Reading →
Crust punk from Aðalbjörn Tryggvason of Solstafir and more guests than you can shake a stick at? Oh ok go on then, I’m game. The cover though seems to be trying a little too hard; an 80s pastiche with regulation… Continue Reading →
Some blood, a corvid, a hint of Bathory and Poe, some fire and blackened doom from this Australian band made up of past and present members of Nazxul, Nox Inferi, Nocturnes Mist and Pestilential Shadows. Following up 2018 album ‘God… Continue Reading →

With the current drought of festivals and gigs around the globe, the European Metal Festival Alliance is a joint venture between many of the most loved festivals across Europe, one which will give us a glimmer of hope in this… Continue Reading →
You know it’s been a god-long time since I had any true doom to review. It’s all 70s flare botherers and sludgy death these days. This was doubly gratefully received as Death The Leveller rose from the ashes of Irish… Continue Reading →
