KEN mode – VOID (Artoffact Records)

Having had the pleasure of bathing in KEN mode’s particular oily ooze whilst reviewing their last full-length album (2022s ‘Null’) it proved almost impossible to fully grasp what the band were attempting. Re reading the slightly hysterical and hyperbolic praise… Continue Reading →

Stormo – Endocannibalismo (Prosthetic)

Sitting as always in the office at the end of my garden, looking at the birds and the bees go about their business, blissfully unaware of anything, after what has been a challenging week of work-related bullshit and triviality, I… Continue Reading →

KEN mode – NULL (Artoffact Records)

There are times when you just know. When you know that something is right, just and beautiful. When it’s ripe, glowing and succulent. When it glows, pulsates, and engorges. This may sound like the prelude to either an overly dramatic… Continue Reading →

Cleaver – No More Must Crawl (Klonosphere Records)

As well as heralding the renewed political manifesto/career of their incumbent political leader Macron, the French have also decided to birth something far more palatable unto the world in the form of the hideously named trio Cleaver. Now it is… Continue Reading →

Having just journeyed to Chicago on a work trip, I was amazed at how many music venues and venues playing host to live music there seemed to be. The city seemed to be steeped and influenced by music in a… Continue Reading →

Lunden – S/T (Abstract Tits)

Childish or not, one is always going to throw the words Abstract Tits into an Internet image search and see what artistic results it comes up with. Quite disappointing really but the label in question are apparently Danish and have… Continue Reading →

False Flags – Hexmachine (S/R)

Another day, another good band from Leeds. Seriously, this city is churning out quality bands even more so than usual, which is saying something considering the prolific nature of the Leeds music scene. This time it’s hardcore/hard rock group False… Continue Reading →

Pord – Wild (Solar Flare)

Wondering just how to start this review I went for the tried and tested look up the band name and see if other than as a moniker it has any real meaning and discovered that according to Urban Dictionary it… Continue Reading →

Stuntman – Incorporate The Excess (Solar Flare)

Whoa in your face cover-art on this one that’s guaranteed to make your eyes bleed and listening to the music on this will do the same to your ears too. If this were a stuntman in real life it would… Continue Reading →
