Balmog – Eve (War Anthem)

Although they have plenty of releases to their name and have been going since 2003, I’m a recent advocate of the Spanish cult of Balmog. Very impressed with last album Vacvvm and one-track EP Pillars Of Salt I had them… Continue Reading →

Redimoni – On The Brink Of Existence (S/R)

Redimoni are a couple of things. They are a 4-piece thrash act from Barcelona, the heart of the Catalonian region of Spain, an area which is rife with unrest and simmering tensions, something which seems to help create a good… Continue Reading →

Altarage – Succumb (Season Of Mist)

I’m sure you know that bit in Hellraiser where Cousin Frank is all hooked up via the face and there’s a pause before his flesh is pulled apart. Well, the words “Jesus Wept” are also a very valid statement here… Continue Reading →

Vrademargk – Arrelats (S/R)

I am totally unfamiliar with this Spanish act whose homeland is the Catalonia region, which has a bearing on the album that I’ll write about later. Having formed in 2003 the band released a demo and two full lengths which… Continue Reading →

Perennial Isolation – Portraits (Non Serviam)

This is the fourth album release from Perennial Isolation, the atmospheric black metal band from Barcelona. On top of their album releases, this is a seasoned live band. After a sultry opener, the fire starts with “Autumn Legacy Underlying the… Continue Reading →

Golgotha – Remembering the Past/Writing the Future (Xtreem Music)

I remember going to gigs of a band with the same name back in South Africa 25-30 years ago, before they changed from a Christian death metal band to a hard rock band called Carpet Crawlers. Well, it would appear… Continue Reading →

Angelus Apatrida – Angelus Apatrida (Century Media)

Albacete Thrash titans Angelus Apatrida are back. Having celebrated their 20th anniversary as a musical entity in the midst of a global pandemic and a spell of collective societal insanity, the four-piece have had plenty of material to act as… Continue Reading →

Nihilrage – Eternal (Blood Fire Death)

Spanish death metal tends to be the grimier grisly variety which of course I particularly like as this very new band, established in 2018, releases their first EP setting the bar for their next release very high indeed. The serene… Continue Reading →

Ruinas – Ikonoklasta (Spikerot Records)

Of the three bands with this moniker I found, which means Ruins as you probably deciphered, two of them are from Argentina and are polar opposites in style with one being of heavy/power metal and the other sludge whereas this… Continue Reading →

Slit Your Gods – Dogmatic Convictions Of Human Decrepitude (Comatose Music)

One look at the line up within this new Spanish technical death metal act and you see a wealth of experience honed to slaughterous surgical perfection within the bludgeoning realms of Arthropodal Humanicide, Ineffable Demise, Avgrunn and Fall Of Mankind… Continue Reading →

Lord Orots – Conquering The Infinite Void (Onism Productions)

Well it’s a good time to sleep and dream, taking off in your head to distant places unravaged by plague. That’s exactly what Spaniard Lord Orots has been doing and apparently, he has recently slept “upon his throne for ten… Continue Reading →
