Grizzlyman – S/T – Third I Rex

A smoking bearded skull with fucked up teeth and tusks. The cover is Ronseal baby.  This Swedish three piece offer three songs on this EP and in the 15 minutes they have the listener is gonna get bludgeoned! The three… Continue Reading →

Suns of Thyme – Cascades (Napalm)

Genres are ever expanding. No one wants to be constrained to a pigeon hole so they create new ones for others to then be forced into.  Berlin’s “Suns of Thyme” are described as Krautgaze which I-with Holmes like deduction take… Continue Reading →

Deep Black – Nails (Van)

When the band are called Deep Black and the opening track is called “Nephillim” you make certain presumptions. My Merciful Release tattoo starts to itch and I can taste the acrid sweetness of snakebite and black at the back of… Continue Reading →

Autumn’s Dawn – Gone (Eisenwald)

Hurrah it’s almost autumn, yeah piss off summer you had your turn and made us all hot, sticky and uncomfortable as well as spreading all your nasty allergies and dishing out some strange and severe weather of all sorts. Favourite… Continue Reading →

NFD – Reformations (Jungle)

It’s been a very long time in fact 2008 album Deeper Visions was the last thing we heard from NFD and they have not played a show for a long time either. Typically they announced one in London with some… Continue Reading →

The Eden House – Half Life (Jungle)

This is an absolutely gorgeous collection of songs and I really hope saying so at the start of a review does not lose half of its readers. If you are still here, do stay, as if you are new to… Continue Reading →

The Last Cry – Walking To The Edge (A Day Like Today)

The Last Cry is a name I have seen doing the rounds and it is no surprise considering some of the bands they have shared a stage with; The Mission, The Damned, Gene Loves Jezebel and Anne Marie Hurst to… Continue Reading →

The Eden House – Timeflows (Jungle)

This is one of those bands I have been meaning to check out, completely expecting to really like them but annoyingly letting them slip me by. It’s really a certainty that anyone who grew up loving gothic music should enjoy… Continue Reading →
