Evildead – United $tate$ Of Anarchy (Steamhammer/SPV)

1986 feels like an eternity ago. That’s when Evildead made their mark on the world. Two albums, an EP and six years later, they were no more. A reunion in 2009 came and went, ending in 2012 but it wasn’t… Continue Reading →

Infera Bruo – Rites of the Nameless (Prosthetic Records)

Infera Bruo emerged with a splash a decade ago with their self-titled demo and have been churning out the sort of music that, if all was fair, might have garnered the band a steadying rise in attention. Once again they… Continue Reading →

Haunt – Flashback (High Roller)

Haunt are no strangers to these shores so you should know what to expect. Prolific song writer Trevor William Church is at it again, this is the European release of ‘Flashback’. The US version was released earlier this year through… Continue Reading →

Pallbearer – Forgotten Days (Nuclear Blast)

Considering the resounding success of 2017’s ‘Heartless’ and its soaring explorations of more progressive territory, upon first listen, ‘Forgotten Days’ seems like a huge step backwards and doesn’t quite make the impact you’d expect it to. 2020 has been far… Continue Reading →

Armored Saint – Punching The Sky (Metal Blade)

If you’re not intimately familiar with Armored Saint, considered by many in the know as a band that should have been far more massive than they are, let me briefly educate whilst I simultaneously indulge in a bit of muso… Continue Reading →

Gargoyl – Gargoyl (Season Of Mist)

Born from a realisation of a shared musical vision between Dave Davidson (Revocation) and Luke Roberts (Ayahuasca), Gargoyl, (not to be confused with the Japanese 80’s Thrash outfit Gargoyle) are a rather significant departure from the more well known musical… Continue Reading →

UADA – Djinn (Eisenwald)

I listen to a lot of black metal, and particularly enjoy dredging through the underground looking for that new gem. If I’m honest, a lot of the bands all merge into one but back in 2016, I stumbled across a… Continue Reading →

Spirit Adrift – Enlightened in Eternity (Century Media)

So, 2020 has been, by pretty much all standards what we in the scientific community might term “crap”. However, it has brought with it a follow up album to the rather great record “Divided by Darkness”, by Spirit Adrift, which… Continue Reading →

Wayfarer – A Romance with Violence (Profound Lore)

Apparently, this is Wayfarer’s fourth album, and even from the outset it shows. There’s a steadiness and a confidence that comes from work put in here, and a sense that everyone is on the same page musically for this adventure…. Continue Reading →

Lamp Of Murmuur – Heir Of Eliptical Romanticism (Death Kvlt Productions)

Ok let’s start with the kvlt shall we? It seems some people just think everything must be a joke and the notion that people might be intensely serious about their music, and even the philosophy behind its creation, is beyond… Continue Reading →

Incinerate – Sacrilegivm (Comatose Music)

Back in 2009 I was still a fresh face to BDM and still had much to shock me. Now nothing surprises me now, miserable I know. However, it’s true, you kind of get to a point where brutality and shock… Continue Reading →

R.I.P. – Dead End (Riding Easy Records)

If you’re not familiar with this four piece from Oregon who sport the barest of hairy chests, most luxurious of moustaches, and apparently get their wardrobe cues from a ‘Big Bottom’ era Derek Smalls mixed with Rob Halford’s ideal man,… Continue Reading →
