MuN – Presomnia (Piranha Music)

I’ll be entirely honest and say that despite being in this music reviewing lark for a wee while, I know next to nothing about the Polish metal scene.  With the exception of the rather excellent Corruption, my only encounters with… Continue Reading →

Possessor – Damn The Light (APF Records)

If you like horror movies, riffs, and think that all necks need a workout to some dirty rhythms, then there’s a fair chance you’ll get to like Possessor, already like Possessor, or for that matter, already be in Possessor! Sporting… Continue Reading →

Somnus Throne – Somnus Throne (Burning World Records)

When my esteemed editor sent me the download for pan-American band Somnus Throne’s eponymous debut out of the blue, it was an act I’d never heard of. Bizarrely however, within minutes of that email arriving, the name suddenly started popping… Continue Reading →

Megalith Levitation / Dekonstruktor – Split (Aesthetic Death)

I gotta say that I am not that well versed in Russian metal. For such a vast country with such a huge impact on world history and culture, the red land has not made much of an impression on my listening habits. … Continue Reading →

The Brothers Keg – Folklore, Myths, and Legends… (APF Records)

The normal way this music review malarkey works is that a band or label looking to promote a forthcoming release will send previews to assorted magazines and sites, confident in the strength of their product garnering positive write ups that… Continue Reading →

Hymn – Breach Us (Fysisk Format)

This is a completely unknown band to me, I confess, and being told that the duo that makes up Hymn were in Buckaduzz, Tombstones and more recently Sâver doesn’t help because I’ve never heard of them. Hymn are from Norway,… Continue Reading →

Slomosa – S/T (Apollon Records)

Tundra rock? Fuzzy, desert stoner metal from Bergen, Norway? Yep, you read that right. Slomosa have dropped their debut long player after having built themselves a nice little reputation in their homeland. The band released the singles “Horses” and “There… Continue Reading →

Brimstone Coven – The Woes of a Mortal Earth (Ripple Music)

I have to admit that my first taste of Brimstone Coven was care of their 2015 belter ‘Black Magic’ (see Ave Noctum passim for my review), but that was enough for me to pick up their prior work, and also… Continue Reading →

Psychlona – Venus Skytrip (Ripple Music)

Put on your bell bottoms, grab your lava lamp and jump in your shaggin’ wagon it’s time for another trip down nostalgia way. This time we are going via the desert road, which strangely is now winding around Yorkshire! Psychlona, since 2016 have been laying… Continue Reading →

Volcanova – Radical Waves (The Sign Records)

Here’s a little thing for you to try folks. If you live in the UK, go to Google, type in “Iceland”, and rather than bring up the Nordic country the first few pages of results will actually be to do… Continue Reading →

Foot – The Balance Of Nature Shifted (Cooper Feast Records)

When you think of Desert Rock, the vibrant California sands or the Europeans who emulate that iconic sound; Kyuss and the bands which spawned from their members such as Queens Of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu, John Garcia’s various projects… Continue Reading →

Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Turned to Stone Chapter II: Masamune & Muramasa (Ripple Music)

It’s fair to say that 2020 has been a right old shit shower for live music that you can attend as opposed to watch on the computer. It’s only July as I type this review, and already emails are coming… Continue Reading →
