Sarke – Endo Feight (Soulseller)

It’s been 3 years since Allsighr was released. I loved it at the time, praising its mix of 80’s metal with Sabbath and Purple grooves and scoring it 9 out of 10. I gotta admit though, I have not revisited… Continue Reading →

Tulus – Fandens Kall (Soulseller Records)

30 years of existence, Norwegian, 7 albums including this one, and 3 active members of Khold – that’s Tulus in a nutshell. And it’s black metal of course, a fact which is even less surprising when you know that the… Continue Reading →

Khold – Svartsyn (Soulseller Records)

Khold are one of these Norwegian black metal bands who knowingly or not advanced the genre in the 00s. Continuing the tradition of utterly raw and desolate black metal, elements of persistent melody supplemented the bleakness and moved away from… Continue Reading →

Black Altar / Vulture Lord – Deathiah Manifesto (Odium Records)

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 →

Sarke – Allsighr (Soulseller)

If God is Seven! I am mildly surprised that Sarke have reached their seventh full length release – it seems like just the other day that I listened to Vorunah for the first time. Turns out that debut was released in 2009! Waaaaaahhhhh! This time… Continue Reading →

MNHG – Mundare (Immortal Frost Productions)

Germans MNHG are a new band –starting in the plague year 2020 and playing an old style of filth ridden Black and Roll. Fans of Sarke are gonna wanna swim in the cesspool of this quartet. By now it seems repetitive to describe Black and… Continue Reading →

Beyond Helvete – MMXX (Immortal Frost Productions)

Beyond Helevete from Berlin are a one-man band of the Black Metal persuasion. That man is Sven Krause or Natrgaard as his mum probably knows him. (I may have flipped that?)  He has recently been joined by a session drummer, Jonas Scmidd to alleviate the loneliness. What am I… Continue Reading →

Acârash – Descend to Purity (Dark Essence Records)

By pure coincidence, on the day I was given this album for review, I was wearing an Acârash shirt so it’s fair to say that I had been impressed by their debut album and a storming previous live encounter. So,… Continue Reading →

Tulus – Old Old Death (Soulseller)

Much like any genre or scene everything eventually gets flooded. It’s easy to see why and how, when people start paying attention to their local music scene then the passion grows and more and more people start to form bands,… Continue Reading →

Sarke – Gastwerso (Indie Recordings)

Album number 6 for Sarke and they don’t seem to be letting up. The past black and roll has given way to more of an epic groove driven sound that still drips icy evilness from every pore.  The fact that Sarke… Continue Reading →

Rituals of the Dead Hand – Blood Oath (Dunkelheit Produktionen)

Metal , especially Extreme Metal has mined the caverns of folklore for decades. Whether it be Norse or Pagan , Hopkins or Crowley there is plenty in history to provide a muse for musicians with a penchant for darkness and… Continue Reading →

Sarke – Viige Urh (Indie)

In 2016 Sarke released Bogefod a concept album built around a millennia old Viking legend involving a zombie king. It was as fantastic as it sounds. So now Noctruno Culto, Sarke, Anders Hunstad, Asgeir Mickelson and Steinar Gundersen are back… Continue Reading →
