Dehumanizer – The Incomplete Man (SR)

This is a progressive melodic death metal band from Peru, ‘The Incomplete Man’ is a self-funded effort and the fruits of this bands labour are endless based on the quality of the material on offer. I say quality, as it… Continue Reading →

Fanthrash – Apocalypse Cyanide (SR)

Billed as one of the first thrash metal bands to form in Poland way back in 1986 it certainly took Fanthrash a while before release of first album ‘Duality Of Things’ in 2011. 25 years must be some sort of… Continue Reading →

The Custodian – Necessary Wasted Time (Laser’s Edge)

The Custodian don’t have much to say for themselves. I could just say “listen to this and decide for yourself” but that isn’t going to do anything. In any case, this is an album which I created a series of… Continue Reading →

Vulture Industries – The Tower (Season of Mist)

I don’t know what Vulture Industries would think of being regarded as “the new Arcturus”. Whilst in some respects this is a compliment and there is a commonality in that they’re both from Norway, “The Tower” is Vulture Industries third… Continue Reading →

Lalu – Atomic Ark (Sensory Records)

There are so many contributing musicians here on this progressive metal work that it needs one person to hold them together. That one person is Frenchman Vivien Lalu, and what an impressive group of musicians he has assembled. The supporting… Continue Reading →

Aeris – Temple (Ex-Tension Records)

This seven track work is split into three sections: Flame, Richard-Horizon-Robot and Captain Blood. There is a clue in this apparent eccentricity. I realised quickly that an open mind is needed for this album by Aeris from France. It’s like… Continue Reading →

Monsterworks– Earth (Eat Lead and Die Music)

Monsterworks are a slippery bunch in a good way in that not only do they experiment quite wildly with musical genres but also with a very refreshing and intelligent approach to subject matter. Whilst the music may occasionally suggest traditional… Continue Reading →

Eibon La Furies – The Immoral Compass (Code 666)

I have been following the work of Eibon La Furies pretty much since they were conceived on a dark eldritch night back in Lincolnshire in 2005. They are one of those bands with a profound English eccentricity about them musically… Continue Reading →

AttracthA – Engraved (SR)

This Brazilian band formed in 2007 and this is their debut 4 track EP. Presented in a very nice bi-fold digipak format, this band obviously takes their music seriously and this can be found when you play any one of… Continue Reading →

For Many Reasons – Make Your Own (Great Dane)

A heavy, dark and ethereal atmosphere is promised. “Make Your Own” is the second album release by this French extreme and post death metal band. The production is by Dan Swanö. The result is a powerful and lively combination, full… Continue Reading →

Colours to Shame – Vilos (SR)

I picked up this EP after watching Colours to Shame perform at TechFest. That was my first exposure to this band from Glasgow. I realised that there was something interesting going on. Experimental and progressive in style, and with jazz,… Continue Reading →

Witherscape – The Inheritance (Century Media)

In the Metal world Dan Swanö really should need no introduction. As one of the cornerstones of the Swedish Metal scene, he has (officially) performed on more than 30 different albums with bands as diverse as Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath,… Continue Reading →
