Worshipper – One Way Trip (Magnetic Eye)

It always makes an album just a little more intriguing when outlets, reviewers and even record companies fail to agree on the actual musical style of a band. And these descriptions can vary quite a lot. Case in point is… Continue Reading →

Exhorder – Defectum Omnium (Nuclear Blast)

It’s only been 5 years since their last offering, so nearly 6 times shorter than the last wait we had to endure. But sadly this time Vinnie LaBella isn’t returning, so it’s just Kyle Thomas from the original line up… Continue Reading →

Iron Void – IV (Shadow Kingdom Records)

It’s been a while since I have had the pleasure of committing to the ether, my thoughts, feelings and hyperbolic cliches with the world regarding some lovely new music. It’s always a pleasure never a chore as we see in… Continue Reading →

Lucifer’s Children – Signs of Saturn (Fallen Temple)

The world of heavy metal, and in this case Doom, is truly an international beast.  From what many consider the formative days of Black Sabbath over half a century ago (I’ll let wiser heads than mine such as Andrew O’Neill… Continue Reading →

Eric Wagner – In The Lonely Light of Mourning (Cruz Del Sur Music)

It’s a Saturday night. I’ve just had a really good time with friends over for dinner, drinks, a good movie, and a good chat. The house is now silent, with mates away and my better half abed, and I am… Continue Reading →

Trouble – One For The Road / Unplugged (Hammerheart Records)

Trouble is a band that I have a very long relationship with, well over thirty-five years and counting (I have tickets to their 2022 Glasgow show pinned to a board in my living room, even though I don’t even know… Continue Reading →

Olde – Pilgrimage (Sludgelord Records)

There is something in the water. Something organic that enters your body through your ear canal, travels down the eustachian tube then fills your lungs with its viscous sludge.   Yeah, that’s right Olde got it going on!   This is the Canadian’s third album… Continue Reading →

SpellBook – Magick & Mischief (Cruz Del Sur Music)

Apparently they used to be called Wytch Hazel. Or Witch Hazel. But  even though I’m a bit hazy I think there is at least one other so here we are with SpellBook. From York. No not the UK home of… Continue Reading →

Exhorder – Mourn The Southern Skies (Nuclear Blast)

As the comparison is always going to find its way into this review, I figured I’d get it out of the way immediately. The only reason I listen to Pantera is because I mistakenly thought a new song I heard… Continue Reading →

New Light Choir – Torchlight (Svart Records)

Many things came into my head while I was listening to this album, which is a good thing, but I cannot accept the claim that New Light Choir “are devoid of the trappings of retro worship”. I’d agree that “retro… Continue Reading →

King Heavy – Guardian Demons (Cruz Del Sur Music)

This is the third release from traditional doom band King Heavy featuring Luce Vee, singer of Hooded Priest and ex-Procession bassist Daniel Saa, based out of Chile. There’s a mix of Trouble and Reverend Bizarre as the PR material suggests,… Continue Reading →

Slaughterday – Abattoir (FDA Records)

Man I love a bit of Slaughterday. This German band are super consistent in their output and I had the pleasure of reviewing their last EP 2014s “Ravenous” and this is a nifty little follow up to 2016’s  full length… Continue Reading →
