Magnetar – There Will Be No Peace In My Valley (Vendetta Records)

First of all take a moment to look at that cover by Misanthropic Art. You back? Doesn’t that just scream heavy metal in a wonderful roots way? Damn, one of those visceral covers that makes you hope that the music… Continue Reading →

The Flight Of Sleipnir – Nature’s Cadence (Eisenwald)

US band The Flight Of Sleipnir are completely new to me and I was astonished to find that the band has already released seven albums prior to this latest endeavour. Originally a two piece consisting of founders David Csicsely and… Continue Reading →

Winterfylleth – The Imperious Horizon (Candlelight)

Eighth album. Eight. Seventeen, eighteen years. First album for four though; a statistic that is oh so prevalent. The plague years. Some descended into denial and conspiracies during the laying of that strata, some stood face to face with the… Continue Reading →

Arx Atrata – A Reckoning (S/R)

It’s all too easy to forget about the likes of one-man black metal artists who go it alone independently, not playing live and just occasionally popping up to deliver a new album. Arx Atrata is the work of Nottinghamshire based… Continue Reading →

Incineration Festival – London Electric Ballroom & The Underworld 11/5/24

It’s the 10th anniversary of Incineration Festival in London today with many coming out to celebrate. Taking in 25 bands over 4 different venues, planning is essential as is a fair bit of running around and hoping everything would run… Continue Reading →

Arð – Untouched By Fire (Prophecy Productions)

If you are the sort of person that likes going out with a metal detector and looking for ancient treasure you may have unearthed the musical equivalent from historic Northumbria in the form of Arð, a project from native custodian… Continue Reading →

Inferno Metal Festival – Oslo, Norway 31/3/24

Easter Sunday had that all too familiar bittersweet “last day’ feeling, with a whole day of music to look forward to, but also the knowledge that “tomorrow” meant back to work and reality. Trying to shut that out of my… Continue Reading →

Ofnus – Time Held Me Grey And Dying (Naturmacht)

Armed with some slightly altered Dylan Thomas poetry, Ofnus are a new entity but one with roots in other groups such as Agrona, Democratus, Blind Divide & Black Pyre. Very much in the mould of similar UK based bands like… Continue Reading →

Fortress Festival – Scarborough, Spa 3/6/23

Saturday Part 2  With an earlier start to Saturday’s proceedings and the prospect of nine excellent bands to watch I headed off promptly for the same lovely walk down to the Spa where some industrious artist was creating artwork in… Continue Reading →

At The Altar Of The Horned God – Heart Of Silence (I, Voidhanger)

There are a few things that drew me to this release for review, firstly the band name, which I guess is pretty tacky and something you’d probably have expected to see back in the 80s or early 90s with satanic… Continue Reading →

Winds Of Tragedy – Hating Life (Tragedy Productions)

Hailing from Chile this atmospheric black metal band is solely the brainchild of Sergio González Catalán assisted by Emidio Alexandre on drums for this excellent sophomore album that immerses you in a world of scintillating melodies, bleakness and a sense… 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 →
