Aborted – Vault Of Horrors (Nuclear Blast)

Perhaps one of the bigger faces of modern Death Metal are Aborted. From their destructive debut The Purity Of Perversion to their classic Goremageddon and beyond, they have proven their worth time and time again. They’re a band who also… Continue Reading →

Serpents Oath – Revelation (Odium Records)

Belgian black metal is on the rise. No longer is it just Enthroned, Possession, and is-it-black-metal-is-it-not Oathbreaker. Alkerdeel and Wolvennest have been making the rounds of the international underground for the past 10 or so years. Emptiness’s Nothing But The… Continue Reading →

SLOW – Abîmes I (code666)

Never before has a band been more aptly named, as Slow deliver some of the most dense, crushing funeral doom I have ever heard. However, instead of being a reference to the pace of the music, Slow is actually an… Continue Reading →

Carnation – Cursed Mortality (Season Of Mist)

There have been many bands within extreme metal with monikers that spark a level of curiosity that wouldn’t necessarily be created with band names such as Dying Fetus. Usually bands opt for Latin derivations or connotations to create band names… Continue Reading →

Ôros Kaù – Thanatos (I, Voidhanger Records)

I do like bands that have some meaning behind their monikers which this Belgian band has with their band name. According to Guillaume Cazalet aka CZLT, it is a transference from Greco-Egyptian Hermeticism as Pisces Aries. In fact if you… Continue Reading →

She Past Away + Ultra Sunn – The Garage, London 07/09/23

The Garage in London’s Highbury and Islington area is one of the most versatile venues I’ve known of in the decade plus I’ve been attending gigs. Having seen many bands of the metal variety, among the hosting of the earliest… Continue Reading →

Gateway – Galgendood (Transcending Obscurity)

Commenting on last and self-titled album back in 2018 our reviewer stated “Fuck. This is horrible. This is horrible in a thick, black, filthy way.” For some reason they did not come back for a second diseased dose leaving it… Continue Reading →

Predatory Void – Seven Keys To The Discomfort Of Being (Century Media)

A new band, debut album straight out on Century Media. When you realise that Predatory Void are part of that artistic Belgian collective The Church Of Ra, it all makes sense. Borne out of pandemic downtime Lennart Bossu of Amenra… Continue Reading →

Raüm – Cursed By The Crown (LADLO)

If you have studied demonology 101 you are no doubt aware that Raüm is the name (with or without umlaut) given to a particularly nasty earl of hell who can shapeshift between crow and human form. Known for ruling 30… Continue Reading →

Nachtmaer – Van de mare bereen (Thenra Collectivum)

We are now and not for the first time dipping into that strange affliction known as sleep paralysis. It’s terrifying to anyone who has ever experienced it and not surprising that in less enlightened times the blame was cast on… Continue Reading →

Bark – Rambler of Aeons (Listenable)

Finally, a band with the strength of character and testicular fortitude to create music that focuses on both the majestic mite of Satan, and the furry canine fury of dogs. ‘Rambler of Aeon’s is a strong, powerful album, the bands… Continue Reading →

Serpents Oath – Ascension (Soulseller Records)

‘Ascension’ is opened up with an atmospheric intro with some brass and spoken word building into an all-out assault in the form of second track ‘Summoning The Ancients.’ The musical backbone is measured and vicious, the vocals delivered with intent… Continue Reading →
