Intolerance – Waking Nightmares Of An Endless Void (Godz Ov War)

Next up in my collection of cassettes from Godz Ov War is this from Intolerance. As you might guess there are a few bands sporting this particular sobriquet, so to clarify this is the death metal band from Spain and… Continue Reading →

Totengott – Beyond The Veil (Hammerheart Records)

There’s a couple of metal bands with this moniker but this version is from Spain and delves into the cataclysmic doom-death subgenre for a third album packed with ideas. I’ve seen various sources purporting that the band blends quite a… Continue Reading →

Wormed – Omegon (Season Of Mist)

I often feel as if Wormed carved themselves a bit of a niche at their inception. Certainly for myself I know that Planisphærium was one of the first Technical Brutal Death Metal albums I ever heard. Their heaviness seemed unrivaled… Continue Reading →

Golgotha – Spreading the Wings of Hope (Ardua Music)

If you have immersed yourself in the numerous genepools of metal genres over a long period of time, one thing that tends to enter the mind of an audiophile is sorting certain bands or genres into the right time of… 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 →

Siroll – Al Gra (S/R)

Time for another trip to Catalonia where these bruisers apparently hide out somewhere in the mountains. Active since around 2008 they have three previous albums but this time it would seem they have dipped back into the past and re-recorded… Continue Reading →

Mocs & Cucs – Cremem Los Putos Bancs (S/R)

Què? Well one look at the cartoon cover art of this one and I expected a zany listening experience. Mocs & Cucs or to give them their full name Milford Mocs & Gunther Cucs translate from native Catalan to ‘Mucus… Continue Reading →

Ancient Settlers – Oblivion’s Legacy (Scarlet Records)

The band Ancient Settlers may be from Hispanic countries but their style is more akin to Swedish melodeath with their “storming heavy riffs, thick grooves and catchy hooks”. “Oblivion’s Legacy” is their second album release. After a theatrical verbal introduction,… Continue Reading →

Khull – Where Shadows Rise (Naturmacht)

As one who has observed the evolution of the black metal world over the past two decades, it’s no surprise to see its ambient spin-off: dungeon synth become more and more prominent, particularly with the ever increasing popularity of atmospheric… Continue Reading →

Cryfemal – La Gran Victoria Del Mal (Immortal Frost Productions)

During the 30 years plus of listening to black metal and all its subsequent subgenres I can honestly say I’ve been subjected to some of the most extreme music that has ever been constructed. In retrospect some of the very… Continue Reading →

The Wizards – The Exit Garden (High Roller)

The Wizards are a Spanish band I’ve followed for a long time now, each release has its own qualities, statements and groove. The latest offering is no different, but they band expand their influences and deliver an augmented experience that… Continue Reading →

Hrizg – Damnatio Memoriae (Moribund Records)

More than once, I’ve read Hrizg being described as “cult”. I’m not sure what qualifies them for that but I’m guessing it’s their old school black-death metal style, which picks up comparisons with bands like Root, Mayhem and Tormentor. ”Damnatio… Continue Reading →
