Sur Austru – Datura Străhiarelor (Avantgarde)

The background story here is practically one of legend itself. Humble beginnings saw Wiccan Rede develop into Negura Bunget. Their music introduced many to the realms of traditionalism and folkloric music from Romania where it was married to blackened extremity… Continue Reading →

Negura Bunget – Zău (Prophecy)

To say this album came as a bit of a surprise would not be an understatement but rest assured it is very much a closing statement from the Romanian group who started their journey as Wiccan Rede back in 1994…. Continue Reading →

Interview – Dordeduh

It took a while but in a way the timing couldn’t be better. Arriving a whole 9 years after debut album Dar de duh, its follow-up Har has proven to be a bit of a beacon of light in rather… Continue Reading →

Dordeduh – Har (Prophecy)

What the Dar de duh happened? It’s been 9 years since these Romanians released their debut album, one could have almost forgotten about them and I have had to relearn how to spell their name all over again. Joking and… Continue Reading →

Sur Austru – Obârşie (Avantgarde Music)

One of the attractions of listening to extreme music is that it is constantly evolving, pushing boundaries, incorporating new styles, and in contrast to some other musical genres, bands are generally not content to sit back on their laurels releasing… Continue Reading →

Persekutor – Permanent Winter (Svart)

I’m not as kvlt as I used to be, and frankly I’m pretty alright with that. Music on a personal level is an evolution, sometimes we only care about what is ‘real’ and ‘trve’ and other times we don’t care… Continue Reading →

Fredrik Klingwall & Julie Black – Sentience (ViciSolum)

Swedish multi-instrumentalist Fredrik Klingwall first came to my attention via his horror themed soundtrack music delivered over various projects such as Anima Morte and in his own name. Others no doubt know him through his time as keyboardist in progressive… Continue Reading →

Sincarnate – In Nomine Homini (Hatework)

Romanian band Sincarnate cite their influences as Nile/Dissection/My Dying Bride, and the ominous tones of Portishead, and proudly wearing those on their sleeve, present their second full-length album ‘In Nomine Homini’. Raging death metal with a blackened soul, exhaling doom… Continue Reading →

The Thirteenth Sun – Stardust (Aural Music)

Just to call a band Progressive Metal poses further questions nowadays. Many years ago it was easy, it used to be that you would see the term and just think Dream Theater and that’s an end to it, but it’s… Continue Reading →

Negura Bunget – Zi (Prophecy)

Since they started in 1995 Romanian act Negura Bunget have trodden one hell of a rocky road shedding around 25 members in the process. It’s enough to finish off many an act but sole surviving member Negru isn’t having any… Continue Reading →

Bloodway – Mapping The Moment With The Logic Of Dreams (I Voidhanger)

This one sat on our reviews list for a couple of weeks without anyone remotely attempting to show any interest. I noticed the ‘progressive black metal’ band from Romania helmed by renowned graphic artist Costin Chioreanu had got coverage from… Continue Reading →

Sunset in the 12th House – Mozaic (Prophecy)

Chill out music for the metal masses was something I alluded to two weeks ago, almost in jest, when I was reviewing a certain high quality and ethereally inclined funeral doom album. But I was surprised to so quickly come… Continue Reading →
