Iron Void – IV (Shadow Kingdom Records)

It’s been a while since I have had the pleasure of committing to the ether, my thoughts, feelings and hyperbolic cliches with the world regarding some lovely new music. It’s always a pleasure never a chore as we see in… Continue Reading →

Friends of Hell – Friends of Hell (Rise Above)

Taz Danozoglou has a great pedigree and it surprised me that he seemed to be musically quiet for so long. Obviously he is known as a renowned tattooist and his time in Electric Wizard but I really really dug Satan’s Wrath whose “Galloping Blasphemy“… Continue Reading →

The Bottle Doom Lazy Band – 2005-2020 Doom Over The Years (Sleeping Church Records)

So, live music is but a distant memory to most of us thanks to the current Pandemic. Who ever thought I’d be subconsciously missing the whiff of sweaty metal fans, the taste of tepid, over priced beer and the racket… Continue Reading →

Conviction – S/T (Argonauta)

This might be a debut album but it’s been a long time coming from French doom merchants, Conviction. Having formed in 2013, this long player has had a long gestation as the band have carefully poured their souls and influences… Continue Reading →
