Alex Nunziati – Impending Catastrophe (Moribund Records)

Alex Nunziati is a busy chap it seems. Not only is he involved in, Lord Vampyr and Malamorte (as well as formerly Theatres Des Vampires), but this is his third solo album. Looking the Italian workaholic up on Metal Archives,… Continue Reading →

Holycide – Towards Idiocracy (Xtreem Music)

Of all the extreme metal genres, Thrash Metal perhaps has been the most stubborn and refused to die. Spawning from the doldrums of traditional Heavy Metal, it has stubbornly clung on. Through the dreadful grunge years, through alt-metal and beyond,… Continue Reading →

Morbid Saint – Swallowed By Hell (High Roller Records)

A quick bit of research can help put to rest the alleged claims that Morbid Saint toured with Death, which ironically is what they have garnered a degree of their cult following from. In actuality the band only played a… Continue Reading →

Morbid Sacrifice – Ceremonial Blood Worship (Godz Ov War)

I do like bands that have monikers for their band members and Italy’s Morbid Sacrifice is a four piece whose band members are called Witchfucker, Skineater, BloodSpiller and ThroatVomit. I’m pretty sure you know what this band is likely to… Continue Reading →

Master – Saints Dispelled (Hammerheart Records)

Little breaks can be a good thing, for example I am now back from a year long hiatus from reviewing. Rather interestingly this first review I have chosen is from Master who themselves have had a bit of a break… Continue Reading →

Ruin Lust – Dissimulant (20 Buck Spin)

There probably couldn’t have been a more appropriate album to review for Ave Noctum than this which is my 666th album review for the site. This is the second time I’ve reviewed a Ruin Lust album with the first being… Continue Reading →

It’s been 12 years since we have heard from Germany’s Cruel Force. They are back with a new logo and a new bassist, all the previous members are back and firing on all blackened cylinders. ‘At the Dawn of the… Continue Reading →

Hellfuck – Diabolic Slaughter (Godz ov War)

This is Teutonic Thrash from Poland with a heavy slice of Kreator, Sodom and early Slayer influence. The imagery may have them pigeonholed into a more blackened sub-genre, however, musically they are much more proficient, being seasoned musicians from many… Continue Reading →

Devouror – Diabolos Brigade (Listenable)

Long before Wormrot became flagbearers for Singaporean extremity there was another warlord spearheading the campaign. Shyaithan and Impiety should need not introduction and that commanding grizzled warrior is an imposing force in both music and stature. Devouror formed back in… Continue Reading →

Flames – Resurgence (No Remorse)

This band based in Germany (originally Greece) are not a familiar one to me. However, having spent time with this release and their earlier albums (debut dates back to 1985), I can safely say that I have been missing out…. Continue Reading →

Reaper – Viridian Inferno (Dying Victims)

Australian metal punks come at you with their debut release. Expect a nod to Hellhammer, China’s Military Shadow and primitive early noise in general from both Germany and the UK. The PR material states “hellhammering speedmetalpunk”, which is very accurate…. Continue Reading →

Bonded – Into Blackness (Century Media)

It’s the business end of the year and it’s that time when folks are busy trying to lock down their end of year lists. A time of year which is rather confusing for people as the need to rank and… Continue Reading →
