Griffon – De Republica (LADLO Productions)

The French are revolting again but they do it so well! Griffon are back with their third album and here they set things out historically with bloody revolutions as a theme. This isn’t a call to arms or an album… Continue Reading →

Mortis Mutilati – The Fate Of Flight 800 (S/R)

Now I am sure I vaguely remember French act Mortis Mutilati although having lost digital files from before 2013 can’t quite remember where from. Their logo and the cover art from second album Nameless Here For Evermore which was released… Continue Reading →

Azziard – Liber Secondus – Exégèse (Malpermesita Rercords)

Since last album in 2017 ‘Liber Primus: Métempsychose’ I was lucky enough to catch French band Azziard live as support for Marduk. This proved to be a formidable performance and one that followed well in the live environment by what… Continue Reading →

Nirnaeth – From Shadow to Flesh (Malpermesita Records)

Nirnaeth are now into their 16th Year and bring along their brand of blackened, technical death metal focusing again on Satanism and the occult. ‘From Shadow To Flesh’ is their 3rd full length, in a career which has also been… Continue Reading →

Nydvind – Seas of Oblivion (Malpermesita Records)

I can’t exactly remember how I discovered Nydvind. I suspect I picked up one of their tracks from a sampler, which came with a French metal magazine. I do remember buying “Eternal Winter Domain” (2003). I played it to myself… Continue Reading →

Azziard – Metempsychose (Malpermesita Records)

Pulling this CD out of its wrapping I remembered the band name and that this deathly black troop from France had struck me as slightly bonkers on last album ‘Vesanie’ in 2014. At the time they had been in the… Continue Reading →

The Negation – Momento Mori (Kaotoxin)

It’s good to see French horde The Negation back after dropping debut album Paths Of Obedience a couple of years ago. The grim atmospheres and solid war like battering of that particular album certainly hit a spot and impressed and… Continue Reading →
