The House – Horror Tribute Collection (Avantgarde)

Before I wore eyeliner. Before I wore upside down cross earrings to Scouts church parade.  Before the skulls, the long hair, the leather jackets, the pretending to worship Satan and the various hair dye jobs, (no wonder I am bald) and… Continue Reading →

The Algorithm – Data Renaissance (FiXT)

Our dark metallic synthwave friend who leads The Algorithm is back with his fifth album. I’m actually better acquainted with their live shows than their recorded albums, of which I own just “Brute Force” (2016), and even though it’s 5… Continue Reading →

Mitochondrial Sun – Bodies And Gold (Argonauta)

Niklas Sundin returns once more with his vast array of musical ideas which finally see the light of day. Having previously covered both Mitochondrial Sun releases; the self titled debut and the intense ‘Sju pulsarer’, EP release, “Bodies And Gold”… Continue Reading →

GosT – Rites of Love and Reverence (Century Media)

No doubt I was not alone in looking forward to see GosT when electronic artist James Lollar was unceremoniously sent scuttling back home by Covid, future dates scuppered. It’s a familiar story and it only just seems that things are… Continue Reading →

Perturbator – Lustful Sacraments (Blood Music)

Synthwave a genre built on cliches and nostalgia wearing its Hawaiian shirt and raybans with pride as it shifts the gear down in a Testarossa Spider and heads for the sunset. By this stage much of the music loving world have decided whether it is… Continue Reading →

Gary Numan – Intruder (BMG)

Hallowed Butchery – Deathsongs From The Hymnal Of The Church Of The Final Pilgrimage (Aesthetic Death)

Another artist on the Aesthetic Death roster who are new to me. Well, that’s kind of how it goes for this idiosyncratic label, and all power to them as they release some real head-scratching, soul punching, brain tingling albums. And… Continue Reading →

LAWA – The Parallax View (Cineploit)

Cineploit operate out of Austria and are a label that deals with cinematic music and Italian genre film. Needless to say, if I ever visit Vienna it will be one of my 1st stop off points. This introduction to them… Continue Reading →

The Lion’s Daughter – Skin Show (Season Of Mist)

Playing an album can be like opening a musical portal taking you to another time and place. As a listener you should perhaps err on the cautious side as you never know quite where you are going to end up…. Continue Reading →

Mur – Truth (LADLO Productions)

Despite having a previous EP and an album behind them, Mur have definitely ducked under my radar. This though was touted as a step forward in their sound and offering music ‘ahead of its time’. It also mentioned synthwave added… Continue Reading →

Bergeton – Miami Murder (MeusRecords / Darkhan Music)

One always wonders what bands do for entertainment on those endless tour bus journeys from one city to another and Morten Bergeton Iversen has no doubt clocked up many a mile. Who you ask? Well you probably know him better… Continue Reading →

CNJR- I Can See The Church Burning Through The Binoculars (Future Archive Recordings)

CNJR (pronounced Conjure) is the work of a nomadic music producer originally from the Pacific North West now relocated to Mexico. This album (c’mon I am not gonna type that out every time despite how wacky the title is) is his 2nd full… Continue Reading →
