Lord Of The Grave – Green Vapour (Church Within)

What’s the best part of raping a zombie? Hearing the hip bone go crack! Actually can you rape a zombie? Can they actually say nooooooouuughhh? What am I talking about? Well first of these five numbers is called Raping Zombies… Continue Reading →

Venomous Maximus – Beg Upon The Light (Occulture)

It is thy eve of Halloween and I sit here with a disc before me with witches cavorting on the front cover and a baphomet design around some sinister looking band players on the back. What form of horror could… Continue Reading →

Bison B.C. – Lovelessness (Metal Blade)

A couple of years ago I reviewed Bison’s sophomore album for our legacy site Metal Team UK and was extremely impressed by the bands super heavy, super rich heavy metal that was inundated with reams of Sabbath like atmosphere. 2012… Continue Reading →

Voivod, Doom & Serpent Venom – London Garage 7/10/12

Great line up this and a very versatile one. It caught a few out though as they had to decide between this and Overkill who were also playing down the road but to be honest I did not even think… Continue Reading →

Groan – The Divine Right of Kings (Soulseller Records)

Mercia’s doom ‘n’ roll kings have been playing some remarkable music since their debut release in 2010, I have had the pleasure of catching them live a few times and the one thing that sticks out in general, and again… Continue Reading →

Yellowtooth – Disgust (Orchestrated Misery Recordings)

Featuring musicians who have been a part of bands like Skullview, Nocturnal Torment, Chronic Disorder and Invasion, this is a rather different musical operation. The style is a hybrid of stoner/sludge/doom and classic Southern rock based on their older influences… Continue Reading →

Orchid – Heretic (Nuclear Blast)

Anything new by US psyched out doomsters Orchid is always going to perk me up. Their debut EP Through The Devils Doorway hooked me, their debut full length Capricorn reeled me in and their set at Desertfest floored me. Now… Continue Reading →

All Hail The Yeti – All Hail The Yeti (AFM Records)

These Sasquatch-obsessed metalheads are based in sunny Los Angeles rather than the wilds of some wintry country and that is, indeed, rather baffling. Only a mug would believe these songs were written on the beach and their PR blurb leads… Continue Reading →

Caravan of Whores – Road to Kurti (SR)

These Oxfordshire natives are playing some fuzzed out, trip-tastic doom, like a cross between UK contemporaries Slabdragger and Trippy Wicked engaging in bong related incidents whilst making noises. These noises are over 30 minutes and there are only four tracks… Continue Reading →

Svolk – Nights Under The Round Table (Napalm)

‘Living By The Sword’, the first track on here has some great harmony backing vocals. I mention it because, well, they really add a hook onto the chorus that makes this a classy opener and because it made me realise… Continue Reading →

Zatokrev – The Bat, The Wheel And A Long Road To Nowhere (Candlelight)

This quartet from Basel, Switzerland have been plugging away with their low-slung dramatics since 2003, and this constitutes their third long-player; this time with a new “fixed” line-up. The fact it’s getting a release on the revered Candlelight label proves… Continue Reading →

Hummune – Crafted In Darkness

Formed in 2009, Southampton’s Hummune, a conglomerate force made up of former members of the bands Older Than Dirt, Kill-Joy, Dissentient Revolt and Parade Of Enemies, have just released their debut long-player, Crafted In Darkness, and it sounds like it… Continue Reading →
