Formerly known as Thygrim and playing pagan orientated black metal these Germans changed their name to MNHG. It’s not quite a random moniker as it sounds and although at first I was scratching head wondering if they had chosen random… Continue Reading →
Indulging in “dark melodic grooves … with the odd detour via psychedelic and stoneresque landscapes”, this five year old experimental black n roll band from Bergen in Norway delves into matters like the human condition and states of mind. Let’s… Continue Reading →
The points of reference here are Gaahls Wyrd and Krakow, from whom this band derives its members. Add in a couple of weighty Norwegian mates on session drums and twisted artwork duties, and you’ve got an introduction. Thrashing blackness is… Continue Reading →
They started off as a chaser to a main pint of bands such as Caronte, Forgotten Tomb and Death SS but over a few albums Whiskey Ritual have become a drinking session in their own right. What they have thrown… Continue Reading →
If God is Seven! I am mildly surprised that Sarke have reached their seventh full length release – it seems like just the other day that I listened to Vorunah for the first time. Turns out that debut was released in 2009! Waaaaaahhhhh! This time… Continue Reading →
