The Boston, Massachusetts band Revocation have been around for a number of years now. I recall first seeing their name in a copy of Terrorizer – probably around the time they started – and being taken with their decidedly old… Continue Reading →
Opening track “Best Kept Secret” could quite easily be applied to the band itself. While they may have been around for the last 20 years and have 5 previous releases, I don’t really recall ever taking much notice of them,… Continue Reading →
Poland’s Bloodthirst were on my radar about 8 years ago, to be honest, I lost touch with them, so it’s refreshing that they are still doing what they do and releasing new material. ‘Chalice of Contempt’ is their first release… Continue Reading →
Writing for Ave Noctum is never a chore. Sure on the odd occasion I get sent stuff that I would normally swerve like Neo in The Matrix dodges bullets but over the last few months it’s opened my ears to… Continue Reading →

Formed in 2001 by Alex Voodoo, Seth Van de Loo (Severe Torture) and Tony Norman (ex-Monstrosity/Morbid Angel/Terrorizer), Voodoo Gods has seen a revolving line-up of famous extreme metal legends pass through its doors. Only one EP has so far seen… Continue Reading →
Back in May when the review list went out, my eyes were drawn to a band called Dust Bolt. I didn’t know much about them, but when their name was followed by the words “German” and “Thrash”, I knew I… Continue Reading →
Nunslaughter! You don’t get a much more prolific underground extreme metal band than Nunslaughter. Since 1987 these Cleveland steamers have been grinding out some of the best and most blasphemous thrashing death metal with sole original member, vocalist ‘Don Of… Continue Reading →
