Maggot Heart – Hunger (Svart Records)

The punishment for being late writing a review is that the task, all by itself, will be harder to do, because everything that can be said, has already been said by others. And unless you can come up with something… Continue Reading →

Grave Pleasures – Plagueboys (Century Media)

Who can remember all the projects, side projects, musical genres and bands that Mat McNerney has been and is involved with? Not me. A bit of research was necessary to freshen up the memory. And there is quite a lot… Continue Reading →

Light of the Morning Star – Charnel Noir (Debemur Morti)

“Music for night hours and sanguine addictions”   I’ll be honest those words send shivers down my spine for all the wrong reasons. I spent some time amongst the Vampire fans of London in the 90’s in the middle of the… Continue Reading →

Maggot Heart – Mercy Machine (Rapid Eye Records)

What we have here is “a rock album about sex, death and the pursuit of freedom”. If you have no idea how the words above could be related, dear reader, and if you don’t find them appealing in the least,… Continue Reading →

Hexvessel – Kindred (Svart)

If ever there was a time to take a brief respite from madness and apocalyptic extreme metal it is now and thankfully some relief is at hand. Just over a year after last album ‘All Tree’ Finnish forest folk band… Continue Reading →

Then Comes Silence – Machine (SPV)

Nothing melts my frozen heart as much as the current resurgence of Post Punk sounds. (You say post punk I still like to say Goth). With bands like Beastmilk and Publicist UK coming out of the dry ice in the… Continue Reading →

Idle Hands – Don’t Waste Your Time (Eisenwald)

Band number 72,453 from the Portland Oregon area. Not sure what is in the water there but it seems to make everyone at least attempt to become a musician, thankfully with this lot, despite the title we are not completely… Continue Reading →

Carpenter Brut + Youth Code – London Koko 23/3/18

New types of music are needed even if they hark back to the past, synthwave is officially a thing now and boy is it big. If you grew up on a diet of horror, action and post-apocalyptic films many of… Continue Reading →

Rainbowlicker – I Saw The Light But Turned It Off (Svart)

Both the project name (a duo is not a band surely) and the title of the album grabbed me by the beard hair and span me round when I first heard the prom at the arse end of 2016.  After… Continue Reading →

Okkultokrati – Raspberry Dawn (Southern Lord)

Hailing from Oslo, Norway, Okkultokrati belong to the Black Hole Crew, alongside the likes of Blackest Woods and Haust. The band have quite a colourful history; in 2013, guitarist BlackRace injured his hand and was told he could not play… Continue Reading →

Suns of Thyme – Cascades (Napalm)

Genres are ever expanding. No one wants to be constrained to a pigeon hole so they create new ones for others to then be forced into.  Berlin’s “Suns of Thyme” are described as Krautgaze which I-with Holmes like deduction take… Continue Reading →
