The Wizards – The Exit Garden (High Roller)

The Wizards are a Spanish band I’ve followed for a long time now, each release has its own qualities, statements and groove. The latest offering is no different, but they band expand their influences and deliver an augmented experience that… Continue Reading →

Pantheïst – Kings Must Die (Melancholic Realm)

Active now for just shy of quarter of a century Pantheïst originally started out in Belgium before settling down in London and more recently Cardiff. Led by vocalist & keyboard player Kostas Panagiotou, they are a bit of an underground… Continue Reading →

Azell – Death Control (Rottweiler Records)

On a morning that has all the characteristics of the impending apocalypse, as gun metal grey clouds disgorge their pregnant bellies of water onto the unsuspecting populous of the United Kingdom as gales flail, wind lashes sodden garden fences like… Continue Reading →

Saturnalia Temple – Paradigm Call (Listenable Records)

Part of the job of the editor for this fine site that you are reading is to ensure that the right reviewer gets the right music so the band gets a fair review, and the listener knows where to spend… Continue Reading →

Vincent Crowley – Anthology Of Horror (Hammerheart Records)

So there I was bemoaning a horror themed album for lacking in the key ingredient and along comes this. Surely Vincent Crowley and his team made up of past members of laid to rest Acheron won’t be making that mistake?… Continue Reading →

Ponte Del Diavolo – Fire Blades From The Tomb (Season of Mist)

Formed in 2020, these Turin based metallers drop their debut long player after a string of EP’s. “Fire Blades From The Tomb” finds the band delivering their own take on a doom meets black metal mix. Utilising two bass guitarists… Continue Reading →

So, for the first time in 2024, I am putting the metaphorical quill to parchment and that sound you can hear, is the creaking and popping of wordsmithing cartilage and bone, as my scrambled mind attempts to decipher music from… Continue Reading →

Lucifer – Lucifer V (Nuclear Blast)

First review of the year for me, and well, I think 2024 is going to have to work impossibly hard to produce enough albums to force this belter out of my best of the year list. Why is that, I… Continue Reading →

Cold In Berlin – The Body Is The Wound (New Heavy Sounds)

This scribe has always found Cold In Berlin an utterly intriguing band. They have a certain uniqueness on both a musical and lyrical level. Themes that evoke fear, darkness, strength and the macabre delivered with a passion that is raw… Continue Reading →

La Mer – Tetrahedra (Godz Ov War)

This album was given the very brief description of Black Rock Country when I spied it in the list of ready and willing releases. Gotta say that description intrigued me. I was envisaging something like the Canadian terror country of… Continue Reading →

Dominion Of Suffering / Phobonoid – Split (Godz Ov War)

Two bands, each with three tracks are presented on this split album and we are promised “Over 40 minutes of cosmic despair, madness and pain.” Sounds like a challenge as far as I am concerned and with void-dwelling cover art… Continue Reading →
