Eventide – Waterline (Aesthetic Death)

I’m always a sucker for “improvised electronic ambient sonicscapes” which is how this album is described. There are bands called Eventide from the USA and Sweden, but this one is a recent offshoot of the French progressive death doom band… Continue Reading →

Druadan Forest – Dismal Spells Part II -The Night Circus (Werewolf Records)

V-Khaos, the entity behind dozens of projects not least Dim Lights, returns to the forests of his birth, Druadan, and the world of dungeon synth after their cosmic journey through ‘Portals’. So I guess as the lurker on the threshold… Continue Reading →

Darkspace –II (Season Of Mist)

Blimey, has it really been a whole decade since we last had recorded material from enigmatic Swiss explorers of the cosmos Darkspace? It’s not like the trio comprising of Wroth, Zhaaral and new member Yhs have found themselves stranded on… Continue Reading →

Aureole – Alunarian Bellmaster (Prophecy Productions)

This third album by Aureole, whose creator is also behind Tchornobog, is based on a science fiction scenario, in which Alunar is the world and the Bellmaster is sacrificed and incarnated as a ghost. It’s a sinister world, represented in… Continue Reading →

Dominion Of Suffering / Phobonoid – Split (Godz Ov War)

Two bands, each with three tracks are presented on this split album and we are promised “Over 40 minutes of cosmic despair, madness and pain.” Sounds like a challenge as far as I am concerned and with void-dwelling cover art… Continue Reading →

Furia – Huta Luna (Pagan Records)

Those furious Nekrofolk from Poland’s ‘Let The World Burn Collective’ are back and who knows what the hell to expect after the experimentally deranged approach of last EP ‘W śnialni’ a couple of years ago? Well it’s barking mad and… Continue Reading →

Mesarthim – Arrival (Avantgarde Music)

Contemplation / Chrono.fixion – Brain Mechanics (S/R)

About a year ago we received a self-titled, self-released debut from Contemplation, a one man project from  French musician and composer Mattieu Ducheine and I was rather taken with its sublime blending of prog and funeral doom and ambient flourishes…. Continue Reading →

Spectral Lore – 11 Days (S/R)

Black metal is not exactly renowned for taking a humanist approach, indeed its cold harsh nature is much more aligned to the misanthropic and destruction of the human race. Of course there are exceptions and here we have a very… Continue Reading →

Hivemind – The Edict Of The Elohim (Aesthetic Death)

As Voivod once stated in a futuristic voice “We are connected” and although musically very different, that is what we have here, an epic album taking to the outer limits and providing a cautionary tale of the near future for… Continue Reading →

Peurbleue – La Ciguë (LADLO)

Time for a French dose of Morbid Fear who are ready to poison us with their debut dose of Hemlock. Established by musician JCEX who was later joined by vocalist Sakrifiss their work is described as ‘Haunting black metal’ and… Continue Reading →
