Nadsvest – Slovo meseca i krvi (Soulseller Records)

I rarely get to review metal albums from my native side of Europe. Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons. Firstly, I am always ideologically suspicious. Call me a cynic, but coming from Eastern Europe doesn’t give me a… Continue Reading →

Terrörhammer – Gateway to Hades (Osmose Productions)

A good dose of Serbian necro speed metal is presented here, a second full length, but a band whom have had many shorter releases over the last ten years. ‘Inside the Nuclear Tomb’ is laden with d-beat and is rabid,… Continue Reading →

Serbia is not particularly well known to the wider metal community for it extreme metal scene, but make no mistake, buried within the underground there are some real gems. All My Sins are one such gem and this is their… Continue Reading →

Nula – Kenoma (Black Bow)

Belgrade based, post-Sludge five piece Nula are rather intense musically. With beer and dope, along with some filthy and heavy sounds as their main influences and being billed as something for fans of Cathedral and Type O Negative, there are… Continue Reading →

Temple of Gnosis – De Secretis Naturae Alchymica (ATMF)

Well, this is very different to my expectations. As long time readers will know, the Editor of this august publication lets humble reviewers, such as yours truly, select their preferred albums from brief descriptions which are delivered by virtue of… Continue Reading →
