Enchantment – Cold Soul Embrace (Cosmic Key Creations)

Cast your mind back 28 years, were you even born then, have your memories been swept aside by the winds of time? The reason I am asking is because this is when UK doom death act Enchantment released their debut… Continue Reading →

Consecration – Cinis (Redefining Darkness)

I thought I had best grab this one and drench myself in an hour’s worth of abject misery. I can wallow in the songs and get used to them before seeing the band supporting Esoteric that way, a show that… Continue Reading →

Denali – S/T EP (S/R)

A new band, a new name. I ran into them live a short while back at Warhorns Late Winter Camp which was very enjoyable so I snapped at this when it came in. It is effectively their entire set too;… Continue Reading →

Hex – Behold The Unlighted (Vertebrae)

When it comes to Death/Doom there are really only two questions. Does it Doom? Does it Death? Luckily when Bilbao’s Hex are put to this particular Spanish inquisition the answer is a resounding YES on both counts. This E.P. is only three… Continue Reading →

Extreme Cold Winter – World Exit (Hammerheart Records)

It’s one of those things, when a band’s name lays its table out. There’s an expectation that naturally pops into one’s mind. Extreme Cold Winter is a moniker that reflects a sound, a vibe, an aura of brutality. These Dutchmen… Continue Reading →

Asphyx – Necroceros (Century Media)

Having a legendary status is surely both a boon and a hindrance. Naturally it means that you’ve achieved a huge goal but at the same time the pressure is always going to be greater. What happens if you don’t deliver?… Continue Reading →

Pistilos Opium – Hibrido (Fallen Temple)

Having previously released a digital and cassette version of this EP in December 2019 Polish label Fallen Temple has seen fit to reissue it on CD format and digitally again. Hailing from Chile, the band has that unique grisly South… Continue Reading →

Treurwilg – An End To Rumination (S/R)

A weeping willow which this Dutch act name themselves after is a good place to find oneself sitting under and ruminating and it’s hardly surprising that doom is the musical landscape for such contemplation. This quartet have released one very… Continue Reading →

Sun Of The Dying – The Earth Is Silent (Art Of Propaganda)

Currently the earth is not silent, far from it, it is a tumultuous place seething with monstrous acts as nature battles with humanity for dominance, and if Sun Of The Dying had anything to do with it then this would… Continue Reading →

Cryptic Brood – Outcome Of Obnoxious Science (War Anthem Records)

We all have those funny tales and memories to recount from gigs, and thus I shall regal you with one now. Once upon a time me and a friend decided to visit Berlin to watch Amenra with a show comprising… Continue Reading →

Esogenesi- S/T (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Formed in 2016, this is the Milan based death / doom metal crew’s debut album and another decent release this year from Indian label Transcending Obscurity Records. Five tracks and forty minutes of sci-fi themed doomy death metal might not… Continue Reading →

God Disease – Drifting Towards Inevitable Death (F.D.A. Records)

Finnish death act God Disease are gruesomely heavy, their brand of death metal is laced with doom corruption as each sprawling behemoth track has suffocating and dense oppressiveness. Added to that you get inhuman vocals, a pulverising drum display that… Continue Reading →
