Particularly grim and potent industrial dark art here from this French entity with a penchant for all things totalitarian and Russian. They adopt their name for a start after Stalin’s secret police and their music is equally oppressive and as… Continue Reading →
Mysticum are a band who made their name off the back of one album, an album which took industrial soundscapes and infused cosmic black metal into it, a cubic fuckton of evil and an overdose of class A drug abuse,… Continue Reading →
Following closely to last year’s 3 track EP ‘Year One’ comes the second EP from extreme progression experts Deconstructing Sequence. This time they only serve us with two tracks (clocking in at around 16 minutes in total runtime), but what… Continue Reading →
Despite its somewhat unwieldy title I really enjoyed Italian band Throne Of Molok’s debut album ‘Chtonian A.E.O.N. 1010011010.’ Hell it even arrived with a cardboard cut-out gas mask suggesting cyber terror was about to be unleashed and indeed it lived… Continue Reading →

Two guys from Philadelphia put out four slabs of dark and weighty metal. That sums up “False Prism” for me. The opening tones suggest a bit of Hawkwind psychedelia but that’s just a bit part as walls start to crash… Continue Reading →
Deconstructing Sequence are a new band formed from the dissolution of black metal crew Northwail. Hailing from blighty (Taunton to be precise, but via Poland originally I believe), this three man project have a very unique sound about them, marrying… Continue Reading →
This quartet from The Netherlands has been around for 12 years exploring the boundaries of dark and cold music. “The Prime Mover” is advertised as “a stunning mixture of extravagant post black metal and industrial landscapes, a challenging journey to… Continue Reading →
