Deep Sun – Race Against Time (S/R)

It’s always nice to stumble across a new band, even more so when it’s a band of the quality of Deep Sun who somehow are unsigned and really do deserve a proper record deal. What we have here is high-end… Continue Reading →

Metalfest Open Air – Lochotin Cirque, Pilsen, Czech Republic – 3rd-5th June 2016

Day Three Having been kept awake most of the night by an almighty thunderstorm I approached day three somewhat bleary eyed as I trudged into the amphitheatre for Motorhead covers band, Motorgang. Their performance was poignant on the background of… Continue Reading →

Visions Of Atlantis – Old Routes, New Waters (Napalm)

Sometimes a little tricky to review, this is one of those stop-gap re-recordings EPs that Napalm and other companies are so keen on when a band get a new singer. Visions Of Atlantis are probably keen to do this too…because… Continue Reading →

Melted Space – The Great Lie (Sensory)

This album should have had me running to the hills screaming and trying to distance myself as far away from it as possible. Melted Space are a project that were originally formed by Pierre Le Pape of Wormfood and essentially… Continue Reading →

Enemy of Reality – Rejected Gods (FYB Records)

Soprano. For many it will conjure up images of James Gandolfini collecting his newspaper in suburban New Jersey. Or Dame Kiri Tikawana warbling over an introduction to a Rugby international. For me, the word evokes images of Bianca Castafiore the… Continue Reading →

Emergency Gate – Infected (Fireball / Soulfood)

The 6th album by the Bavarian sextet contains the same line-up as the album they released at the beginning of last year and is in a similar vein. And sadly for me Daniel Schmidle’s keyboards still feel overused, especially when… Continue Reading →

Macbeth – Neo-Gothic Propaganda (Dragonheart)

I reviewed “Vanitas” by Italian Metallers Macbeth back in 2001 (for a short-lived UK metal magazine called Sound Barrier). Kind of blacker/heavier Theatre Of Tragedy with much promise I seem to remember saying – I’ve still got the Dragonheart Records… Continue Reading →
