Evil Invaders – In For The Kill (Napalm)

Belgian thrash and speed metal four piece Evil Invaders are an in your face bunch. Having been blown away by their debut full length “Pulses Of Pleasure” last year, a stunning display of blistering paced riffery and flashy leads which… Continue Reading →

Abigail – The Final Damnation (Nuclear War Now!)

If your only point of reference to Japanese black metal is Sigh, you are in for a treat/shock/surprise/let down, when you cop a listen to ‘The Final Damnation’, the sixth album from Abigail. They’ve been going for absolutely bloody ages… Continue Reading →

Athorn – Necropolis (Dr. Music Records)

Originality is often scarce in metal these days as most topics have been covered in one shape or another via various genre platforms. Conceptually raking the undead subgenre via a different premise of impending annihilation with subsequent effects after a… Continue Reading →

Kayser – IV Beyond The Reef Of Insanity (Listenable)

It’s been a long time since I caught up with this band, their debut in fact, and as the album title suggests, this is now album number 4. Oh how the time flies, but seriously, I was intrigued by the… Continue Reading →

Soilwork – Death Resonance (Nuclear Blast)

This is a very interesting oddity. I thought I owned everything by Soilwork but I hadn’t taken account of the extra tracks, which were added to the Japanese release of “Stabbing the Drama” (2005), “Sworn to a Great Divide” (2007),… Continue Reading →

Hellbringer – Awakened From The Abyss (High Roller)

Imagine, if you will that back in 1984 Slayer didn’t release the ‘Haunting The Chapel’ EP. Instead they sacked Tom Araya and hired Cronos’ even more pissed off twin brother in his absence. This is the album that would have… Continue Reading →

Gorehead: Gorehead E.P (2016) (S/R)

I first discovered this filthy bunch of bastards back in September 2015 when they played the eventful FASTival in Liverpool. The five piece from Manchester have a real diverse and wild sound, incorporating punk, thrash, grindcore and death metal, fusing… Continue Reading →

Reactory – Heavy (F.D.A. Rekotz)

I completely forgot I was meant to be reviewing this. I don’t mean to say that I wasn’t listening to it repeatedly, what I’m saying is that it has such an 80’s thrash sound to it that it was easy… Continue Reading →

7th Abyss – Unvoiced (TrollZorn)

This is the debut album from Bavarian metallers 7th Abyss and I have to say it’s a bit of a departure from what I generally expect from folk/Viking/pagan metal label TrollZorn. The PR sheet went on about technicality, sophistication, melancholy… Continue Reading →

Revocation – Great Is Our Sin (Metal Blade)

Back in 2000, a band called ‘Cryptic Warning’ was formed in Boston, Massachusetts. Inspired by bands such as Metallica and Guns N Roses, this entity went on to record one album but founder David Davidson wasn’t happy with the sound,… Continue Reading →

Ghoul – Dungeon Bastards (Tankcrimes)

It’s been nearly 5 years since the last full length release from Creepsylvania’s splatterthrshing maniaxe, and I can say right off the bat it has been worth the wait. For those unfamiliar with Ghoul, they play thrash metal laced with… Continue Reading →

Dust Bolt – Mass Confusion (Napalm)

Back in 2014, I got an email which contained reference to a promising thrash band from Germany called Dust Bolt. The fact that it was to Teutonic Thrash piqued my interest and I jumped at the chance to give it… Continue Reading →
