The Moor – Ombra (Inertial Music)

We’re told in no uncertain terms that The Moor’s music is for fans of Gojira, Katatonia, Evergrey, Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork, with the added information that Messrs Stanne and Strid from these latter two bands have collaborated with them. The… Continue Reading →

Insurrection – Exiled To Earth (Tunnelgeur)

Apparently this label is “responsible for underground alternative releases” although they appear to be few and far between. Judging by the presentation of this EP which turned up with a release date of the 22nd December, Tunnelgeur Records put a… Continue Reading →

Dyssebeia – Garden Of Stillborn Idols (Transcending Obscurity)

Dyssebeia in Greek Mythology was the spirit and personification of Impiety, the term which defines sacrilege. Notably, it was called upon by the Olympian goddess Hera to punish Heracles when she was rather pissed off at Zeus because he was… Continue Reading →

Decembre Noir – Your Sunset My Sunrise (Lifeforce Records)

It’s the fifth full length album by my calculations for German band Decembre Noir since 2014. I don’t believe I had the pleasure before, but usually Lifeforce Records are a fair barometer that the music within is likely to be… Continue Reading →

Grand Cadaver – Deities Of Deathlike Sleep (Majestic Mountain Records)

While there are ten tracks on this album, it’s only just over half an hour long, as they are all short, quick, and to the point. This is the second album by the Swedish quintet who are all better known… Continue Reading →

Majesties – Vast Reaches Unclaimed (20 Buck Spin)

It seems a bit daft stating that you can sometimes actually hear nostalgia but anyone who cut teeth on the emerging melodic death metal scene of Sweden in the mid 90’s will definitely do so on giving Majesties debut album… Continue Reading →

The Halo Effect – Days Of The Lost (Nuclear Blast)

Dark Tranquility is my favorite metal band ever, no contest. I’ve been listening to them my whole life and they’ve only put out phenomenal albums. So, when I heard that front man Mikael Stanne was forming a band with former… Continue Reading →

Dark Tranquillity, Ensiferum – London Heaven 5/4/22

Heaven, I’m in heaven and although early, by the end of the night we will be cheek to cheek. First up there are couple of German support bands playing also this evening. Starved of music it’s good for the audience… Continue Reading →

Nite – Voices of the Kronian Moon (Season of Mist)

It’s a true statement that the San Francisco Bay Area is a base for strong, technical metal bands and here’s another in Nite. This is the band’s second album release. Blackened metal is how it’s described but the first thing… Continue Reading →

Interview – Dark Tranquillity (Mikael Stanne)

Dark Tranquillity released their twelfth album Moment in 2020, but at the time were only able to stream a gig from an empty theatre. Finally they are back on tour in America which is hopefully a sign that things are… Continue Reading →

Mitochondrial Sun – Bodies And Gold (Argonauta)

Niklas Sundin returns once more with his vast array of musical ideas which finally see the light of day. Having previously covered both Mitochondrial Sun releases; the self titled debut and the intense ‘Sju pulsarer’, EP release, “Bodies And Gold”… Continue Reading →

Thy Kingdom Will Burn – S/T (Scarlet Records)

It was a pleasure first of all to come across something on Scarlet Records, a long- standing label which brought pleasure to me in the past through such bands as Stormlord, Hatesphere and Disarmonia Mundi. This latest offering is From… Continue Reading →
