Of Darkness – Missa Tridentina (Personal Records)

Apparently I completely overlooked the debut album from this reclusive outfit. In 2015 they released their debut full length, entitled (deep breath) ‘Tribute To Krzysztof Penderecki – Passion Et Mors Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Lucum’ which I guess I’m… Continue Reading →

Ruinas – Resurrekzión (Spikerot)

If you are one of those people that organise all your discs by genre, this one is going to really screw you up. It might at first seem an easy task as the act helmed by ex Machetezo and current… Continue Reading →

Lifelost – Punitive Damnation (Onism Productions)

I gave this Spanish act a high praising review back in 2018 for Ave Noctum, and was particularly enamoured by the hostility it waged, yet tinged with a desolation that fills you with dread. The question begging is whether multi-instrumentalist… Continue Reading →

Ruinas – Ikonoklasta (Spikerot Records)

Of the three bands with this moniker I found, which means Ruins as you probably deciphered, two of them are from Argentina and are polar opposites in style with one being of heavy/power metal and the other sludge whereas this… Continue Reading →

Lifelost – Dialogues From Beyond (Transcending Obscurity Records)

J.L.Rey, aka Phlegeton of technical death metal wizards Wormed has put his considerable skills into a new venture that sees him journeying down gruelling, anguish riddled black metal project in which he does everything of a musical and vocal nature…. Continue Reading →

Balmog – Vacvvm (War Anthem Records)

On first getting this third album by Spanish black metallers Balmog I mistakenly scribbled down the name Balrog (a sort of fire demon from the Lord Of The Rings by Tolkien) such is my love of the Middle Earth saga… Continue Reading →

Graveyard – For Thine is the Darkness (War Anthem Records)

Some underground bands manage to only throw out one release every few years, such is the nature of balancing work, life and a band that is labour of love/expensive hobby. Other bands somehow manage to be incredibly prolific, despite not… Continue Reading →

Wormed – Krighsu (Season of Mist)

This is a band who have played live alongside Goratory and Vomit Remnants. To be honest that tells me more than being told that their sci-fi technical death metal style is the framework for their “atmospheric” songs. The songs could… Continue Reading →

Wrong – Pessimistic Outcomes (Xtreem Music)

Wrong’s previous album “Memories of Sorrow” (2013) presented an interesting angle on black metal so I hoped for more of the same when I picked this one up. Amid weird and wonderful noises, Wrong embark upon a creepy, crawly journey… Continue Reading →
