Friends of Hell – God Damned you to Hell (Rise Above)

Tattooist and metal scene stalwart Tas Danazoglou returns with Friends of Hell for more trad metal/ doom dark shenanigans. This is the second opus by Friends of Hell and follows the self-titled debut in 2022. There has been a change… Continue Reading →

Church Of Misery – Born Under A Mad Sign (Rise Above)

Right, just to set things up straight from the outset, the last Church Of Misery album was actually Thy Kingdom Scum in 2013. You may have seen another one called And Then There Were None, but frankly as far as… Continue Reading →

Friends of Hell – Friends of Hell (Rise Above)

Taz Danozoglou has a great pedigree and it surprised me that he seemed to be musically quiet for so long. Obviously he is known as a renowned tattooist and his time in Electric Wizard but I really really dug Satan’s Wrath whose “Galloping Blasphemy“… Continue Reading →

White Dog – White Dog (Rise Above)

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats – The Night Creeper (Rise Above)

Since releasing their second album ‘Blood Lust’ back in 2011 it would appear that psych rockers, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, can do no wrong. The last four years has seen the band embark upon an upwards trajectory; hand selected… Continue Reading →

Angel Witch – As Above, So Below (Rise Above)

I know life isn’t fair, or even designed to be, but there are some bands who just didn’t seem to get a half decent crack of the whip first time around. I don’t mean through simple bad luck, but also… Continue Reading →
