Eternal Storm – A Giant Bound To Fall (Transcending Obscurity)

Spanish outfit Eternal Storm are back again with the follow up to their highly rated debut album ‘Come The Tide’. Their offering of Melodic Death Metal with progressive leanings blew me away and in anticipation of this release, I revisited… Continue Reading →

Pestilength – Solar Clorex (Debemur Morti)

We are off to the Basque Country but don’t go expecting a sunny disposition. Judging by the title of the album this is a sun blinded by pollution. The duo of M (guitars, bass and vocals) and N (drums and… Continue Reading →

Apparition – Fear The Apparition (F.D.A. Records)

This debut album by Spain’s Apparition has already had a release on Headsplit records in July of 2023 on cassette and CD, as I suspect the German label has picked it up for a further CD issue and of course… Continue Reading →

Savaged – Night Stealer (No Remorse Records)

Formed in 2021 in Barcelona, Spain, this is traditional heavy metal in a similar vein to Riot City, Enforcer, Night Demon and Skullfist, plus many others, I could be here forever. ‘Knights of Metal’ featured on their EP release from… Continue Reading →

The Oldest House – A Worm Through Time (I, Voidhanger Records)

So, for the first time in 2024, I am putting the metaphorical quill to parchment and that sound you can hear, is the creaking and popping of wordsmithing cartilage and bone, as my scrambled mind attempts to decipher music from… Continue Reading →

Hitten – While Passion Lasts (High Roller)

I really like this band, they graced a tiny Camden stage last year with Seven Sisters and presented material from their last album. From then to now, this new one comes out again and follows a similar formula. High intensity… Continue Reading →

Angelus Apatrida – Aftermath (Century Media)

Angelus Apatrida are a band we here at Ave Noctum have nothing but high praise for. Each of their releases since 2012 which have been covered here have all been full of nothing but praise for the Albacete titans and… Continue Reading →

Decapitated Christ – Glorious Tyrannizing Of Human Rats (FDA)

This is the fifth album by the Spanish quintet, formed 18 years ago in Barcelona and their first in 9 years, with new vocalist Markus von Schwarzfurz and drummer Eduhchupih whom joined shortly after the previous release, with bassist CesarCold,… Continue Reading →

Of Darkness – Missa Tridentina (Personal Records)

Apparently I completely overlooked the debut album from this reclusive outfit. In 2015 they released their debut full length, entitled (deep breath) ‘Tribute To Krzysztof Penderecki – Passion Et Mors Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Lucum’ which I guess I’m… Continue Reading →

Litost – Pathos (Blood Fire Death)

The Collins dictionary defines the Czech word ‘Litost’ as ‘a state of agony and torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery’……Cheerful stuff indeed, but actually it is the perfect moniker for this Spanish outfit who create a… Continue Reading →

As Light Dies – The Laniakea Architecture – Volume II (Darkwoods)

I was hooked in here by a simple claim from the PR that this was an album that would appeal to fans of Ved Buens Ende, Arcturus, Fleurety, Dødheimsgard & Virus. Well, that’s my domain for sure and even if… Continue Reading →

At The Altar Of The Horned God – Heart Of Silence (I, Voidhanger)

There are a few things that drew me to this release for review, firstly the band name, which I guess is pretty tacky and something you’d probably have expected to see back in the 80s or early 90s with satanic… Continue Reading →
