The Machinist – I Am Void (S/R)

Forged in Manchester from the remnants of NekroDrako and now combined with key elements of Reign Of Erebus The Machinist may be new but have plenty of pedigree within their ranks. Considering it took Reign Of Erebus 14 years between… Continue Reading →

Tau Cross – Messengers Of Deception (Heretical Music)

To say this album has had its trials and tribulations would be an understatement. Well it didn’t actually get a trial but was found guilty without one. It’s been well documented that following a name in the thank you credits… Continue Reading →

Corrupt Moral Altar – Patiently Waiting for Wonderful Things (APF Records)

It may have been a horrendous year, without any live gigs in over eight months (Napalm Death was my last incidentally), but one positive as such, is the high quality of recorded output; the pandemic obviously getting many a creative… Continue Reading →

Reign / Rulum -The Occvlt (Repose Records)

This is nice. Getting sent an actual (turquoise) cassette to review. A four song each split between two black metal one-man projects about whom I know nothing. Oh, and the neat, nicely designed insert also includes lyrics. So, hats off… Continue Reading →

My Dying Bride – Macabre Cabaret (Nuclear Blast)

Yes, this may only be a 3 song EP, but that doesn’t mean it’s only 10 minutes long. In fact, the title track takes care of that all by itself, while the other 2 songs average out at 6 minutes… Continue Reading →

Wytch Hazel – III: Pentecost (Bad Omen Records)

You’ve got to hand it to Wytch Hazel, they’re pretty bloody prolific. This is this their third full length album since 2016, and therefore you might be wondering if the retro-rock/metal UK outfit might be exhausting their well of ideas…. Continue Reading →

Solitary – The Truth Behind the Lies (Metalville Records)

So, as it turns out, Lancashire’s Solitary have been going since the 90’s, and this is album number four for them. In fairness, this is my first experience with them, so if there are any fans of the Preston crew… Continue Reading →

Synthetic – Clepsydra: Time Against Infinity (Rock Of Angels Records)

Four years after their independently released debut, UK based Metallers Synthetic return with the backing of Rock Of Angels Records and continue to expand the boundaries of their Metallic soundscape. Approaching Metal from a modern groove-laden standpoint, this Dark Heavy… Continue Reading →

Utilitarian – Stay Angry (S/R)

Time is flying despite the world being stationary. It was only in May of this year that I was kicked in the gonads and conscience by “Fight War – not wars – Destroy Power, Not People by Utilitarian.  Their mix… Continue Reading →

Hellripper – Affair Of The Poisons (Peaceville)

You could throw a bowling ball into a forest and get a complete strike as it hurtles through the trees knocking one-man black metal outfits over like ten pins. What about those who play thrash though and go it alone?… Continue Reading →

Raging Speedhorn – Hard To Kill (Red Weed Records)

Hands down, (musicality and personalities aside), Corby sludge metal lunatics, Raging Speedhorn, have the finest band name in Christendom and with their ‘Sniff Glue, Worship Satan’ merch design, they also take top honours in the best laugh out loud, piss… Continue Reading →
