Ministry – Hopiumforthemasses (Nuclear Blast)

Yeehaw rednecks beware, cantankerous moral crusader Al Jourgensen and his bunch of rebellious wranglers are back and nobody is safe from a tongue-lashing. Mind you after 16 albums and a storied career of over four decades we wouldn’t really accept… Continue Reading →

Mayhem – Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando (Century Media)

“Deep here isn’t it?” says your scribe doggy paddling out of his depth. Well, it always feels like that when someone asks for my opinion on Mayhem that involves anything after De Mysteriis… Really? Yeah actually. Kinda…listened but never really… Continue Reading →

Utilitarian – Stay Angry (S/R)

Time is flying despite the world being stationary. It was only in May of this year that I was kicked in the gonads and conscience by “Fight War – not wars – Destroy Power, Not People by Utilitarian.  Their mix… Continue Reading →

ACxDC – Satan Is King (Prosthetic Records)

It would be fair, to the uninitiated, to write off  a band with a moniker, that is so deliberately obtuse, decidedly antagonistic and damn right comedic, as a joke, non-serious, detritus that belongs in the same bucket of slop as… Continue Reading →

Video Nasties – Dominion (APF)

I first came across Video Nasties, a 5-piece Liverpool-based band who can be best described as a blackened and grizzly tribute to John Carpenter. By blending the heaviness and harshness of Entombed and Carcass with the cinematic power of Carpenter’s… Continue Reading →

Kevlar Bikini – Rants, Riffage and Rousing Rhythms (Geenger Records)

Grab a Kevlar Bikini, you too can look sexy in a war-zone and it’s guaranteed to confuse and distract your enemy! I can’t see such a fashion item catching on particularly but I am sure I have seen such accoutrements… Continue Reading →

Razor Sharp Death Blizzard – You Will Burn (From Beyond Records)

Off to Selkirk in Scotland for a slab of discontent via the descriptively named Razor Sharp Death Blizzard which in my mind brings a vision of a bunch of neds going at each other with all manner of lethal implements…. Continue Reading →

Brujeria – Pocho Aztlan (Nuclear Blast)

16 years on from their second LP ‘Brujerizmo’ the masked, machete wielding, satanic Mexican bandidos are back and on top form with ‘Pocho Aztlan’. I’ve always been a fan of Brujeria, regardless of who was behind the masks. I remember… Continue Reading →

Bitch Queens – Kill Your Friends (Lux Noise)

Bitch Queens are a bunch of sleazy fuckers from Basel. This is the first shocker for me as they play the kind of grease and spunk soaked rock n roll that usually ejaculates outta Scandinavia.  So far so Turbo Negro…. Continue Reading →

D.O.A. – To Hell And Back (Wienerworld)

What do you do after pretty much founding ‘hardcore punk’ releasing stacks of albums and playing hundreds of shows over a career that spans close to 35 years? You wind down your outfit, play a last tour and go and… Continue Reading →

Black Flag – Nervous Breakdown & Jealous Again (SST/ Wienerworld )

Without Black Flag most of the music you like would not exist! Sweeping statement maybe but as far as punk and hardcore is concerned they were one of the forerunners that were responsible for defining the style, certainly as far… Continue Reading →

Eviscerated Panda ‘A Metal Tale’ – Sarah Tipper

Do not worry, no need to alert PETA, there is absolutely no harm done to any defenceless animals here. Not that pandas are exactly defenceless; would you want to piss one off? This is probably why Eviscerated Panda is a… Continue Reading →
