It’s been two years since the brilliantly self-deprecatingly titled “Anti Christian Douchebags” by Sweden’s Wan. This E.P is more of the same – dirty thrashy punky Black Metal. If you are a fan of the Japanese bands Sabbat and Abigail… Continue Reading →
Right let’s start by mounting this high horse. I have been in Suffolk 20 years and despite being anti nationalistic and flag hating have become strangely fond of this city less county. The Infernal Sea appear just as passionate (possibly… Continue Reading →
Deathiah Manifesto is both the coming together of Polish Black Metal stalwarts Black Altar and Norwegian Black thrash pioneers Vulture Lord but also a labour of love marking a tribute to the European underground. Offering up four tracks each, the bands have managed to concoct… Continue Reading →
I’ve listened to this band previously on a music platform, this is their debut full length album. Morgul Blade are full of sorcery, fantasy, you may know what to expect right? Musically, yes, especially the gallop to ‘A Last Waltz… Continue Reading →

Teutonic threesome Panzer Squad began in 2012 and “Ruins” is their second full length release, following 2016’s “Coming to your Town”. Heavy Metal’s preoccupation with the machines of War is understandable. Death contraptions of steel and iron that destroy and terrorize… Continue Reading →
