Goatwhore – Constricting Rage Of The Merciless (Metal Blade)

The NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana) scene has been positively thriving this year, with new offerings from Down, Crowbar, Eyehategod and now Goatwhore have joined the takeover with their sixth slice of groovy filth “Constricting Rage Of The Merciless”. For those… Continue Reading →

Orbitoclasto – Macerie (S/R)

Short and sweet all round here. This EP came telling me nothing more than the fact that this is a black crust band from Italy by “a bunch of guys already involved in other projects.” They have a pretty unfathomable… Continue Reading →

Lord Mantis – Death Mask (Profound Lore)

The last album by Lord Mantis 2012 release ‘Pervertor’ was a rancid, vile seething mass of corrosive guitar work and scathing vocals so as soon as this appeared I was quick to grab it and throw it on my review… Continue Reading →

Tartharia – X Years In Hell / Bleeding For The Devil (Phantom Pain)

Hailing from St Petersburg Russia Tartharia have been active over the last decade plus and released somewhere in the region of 9 CD’s, a DVD and have played over 200 shows. If like me they are not a band you… Continue Reading →

Anti Ritual – ST (Indisciplinarian / Vendetta)

Ah, lovely. As refreshing as a good kick to the shins from somewhere round Copenhagen way come’s the four guys that make up Anti Ritual. Blessed with the kind of chops that you suspect only come from being around a… Continue Reading →

Ithilien – From Ashes To The Frozen Land (Mighty Music/Target)

Probably due to the fun I had at Warhorns this year, I find myself taking a look at the debut album from Ithilian, a band from the snowy wastes of Belgium (judging from the photos you do have to wrap… Continue Reading →

Shitfucker – Suck Cocks in Hell (Hells Headbangers)

Detroit. Motown. The Motor City. The city that sent the US to War. Bankrupt (both morally and financially). Fallen giant. Home of regeneration and urban farming. Hopeful. Hockeytown. Lots has been said about the City of Detroit and its surrounding… Continue Reading →

Vom Fetisch der Unbeirrtheit – Vertilger (Temple of Torturous)

I once saw a review for some terrible computer game in which the writer observed that “On the way home, I briefly considered driving my car off a cliff so I wouldn’t have to play it any more”. I only… Continue Reading →

Tor Marrock – Destroy The Soul (Black Vulture Records)

It has been a long time since we had any new material from Welsh band Tor Marrock but then again they have always been somewhat elusive, doing things at their own pace and then popping up and surprising with some… Continue Reading →

Welter In Thy Blood – Todestrieb (Dusktone)

Welter In Thy Blood are a trio who apparently hail from sunny-side-up Los Angeles. Jeez they must hate it there. Umm… Where to start? Well they are kind of my nightmare review because there is either so much or so… Continue Reading →
