Famyne – Famyne II: The Ground Below (Svart Records)

Before I commence with the review for the new work by Canterbury’s finest five piece, there are several questions I need to ask. Do you like Doom? Do you prefer to listen to whole albums rather than disposable single track… Continue Reading →

Ante-Inferno – Antidiluvian Dreamscapes (Vendetta Records)

Antidiluvian. Before the (biblical) flood. Curious. It’s always kinda hard delving deep into such naming without lyrics but just take a look at that cover art and your mind goes spinning off into all sorts of weird, elder god haunted… Continue Reading →

Sacred Son – The Foul Deth of Engelond (S/R)

I was lucky enough to catch some of this album live when this London based act supported Wiegedood. At the time I mentioned that I hoped the album would find its way to me and lo it has. This is… Continue Reading →

Tyrannus – Unslayable (S/R)

Always very nice when you get an actual physical item through. You get a proper look at the art and in this case a slightly pink/purple on black Lovecraftian monstrosity. Sponsored by the Lottery no less. I always knew there… Continue Reading →

Flayed Disciple – A Hell In Living Flesh (Bethlam Records)

Flayed Disciple are back, and boy, it has been way too long !! so, to ease themselves in ‘gently’ they have unleashed a five track EP on us to truly exhibit their intentions on how they plan to forge their… Continue Reading →

Alunah – Strange Machine (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Okay, I’ll get it out of the way right now and not refer to it later in the review, well, at least not beyond the first paragraph if I can at all avoid it.  I’ve bloody well enjoyed the music… Continue Reading →

Somalgia – Inverted World (Repose Records)

The message behind all this is blunt and harsh. In their sleeve artwork, Somalgia go to great pains to represent their bleak and dystopian vision. I read such slogans as “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored”…. Continue Reading →

Spider God – Ett främmande språk / A Foreign Tongue (Repose Records)

Culminating a musical gaze cast through the lens of Ingmar Bergman’s Faith Trilogy, the odd, eccentric and relatively obscure Spider God take his 1963 film The Silence as the narrative viewpoint here. We first joined this chronicle in the 2nd… Continue Reading →

Amaltheia – Amaltheia (Godz Ov War)

I usually do some research about a band before reviewing them unless the are well known to me. However for Amaltheia I decided to go in “blind”, so I had no idea what to expect, other than a friend had… Continue Reading →

Darkher – The Buried Storm (Prophecy)

An album of rare beauty during troubled times here. Personally, I expected nothing less and hungrily grabbed ‘The Buried Storm’ hoping it would offer something of peace, tranquillity and calm and on 1st spin marvelled at its gorgeous, somewhat dark… Continue Reading →

Denali – S/T EP (S/R)

A new band, a new name. I ran into them live a short while back at Warhorns Late Winter Camp which was very enjoyable so I snapped at this when it came in. It is effectively their entire set too;… Continue Reading →

Satan – Earth Infernal (Metal Blade)

As the world of gigs and tours slowly returns to something approaching normality after two years in suspended animation, where only the merest glimmer of life was to be seen via online shows from locked down studios, and so many… Continue Reading →
