I have admired these German black speed punks for a while, they have two tape releases and their first tape ‘Black Leather Hounds’ laid down the blueprint. From the description, you can guess what they sound like right? Take all… Continue Reading →
German black thrashers Nocturnal have not released anything since 2014, except for an EP last year in fact, but that was the last time I heard from them. I remember chaotic gig madness in London way back in 2008, of… Continue Reading →
Seemingly a fairly new label from Poland, Ossuary Records previously sent the melodic metal of Divine Weep our way. This time around things are slightly darker with the recently reviewed Okrutnik and Kira coming to assault our ears. The Polish… Continue Reading →
I think we often times neglect genres which we enjoy, which is strange. For example I love a bit of Thrash but I never tend to binge it, nor have I ever considered myself a massive fan despite the fact… Continue Reading →

Be warned….. I’m gonna gush like a broken fridge all over this one. Let’s get it out of the way right now….. I can’t remember the last time I played an album so fun and so unashamedly METAL! as this… Continue Reading →
New year, new EP, new band. Fresh start and all that. Well, I say fresh but this fetid blast of ‘bestial deathcult warfare’ is not exactly the sweet smelling air of some Norwegian forest. Nah, this is a short three… Continue Reading →
Well, this worked out a little different than I thought it might. Looking at the initial promo blurb, which talked about a German power trio taking an old school approach to heavy metal, I thought I’d be listening to something… Continue Reading →
