Borstal – At Her Majesty’s Pleasure (4 Family Records)

The word Borstal will conjure up bleak and terrible images for those of a certain age. Visons of sexual assault in a potting shed and bloody violence coupled with a young Ray Winstone proclaiming himself “the Daddy” are etched in the minds of… Continue Reading →

This Is Endless – Formations Of A World Below (Endless Records)

This review would have been penned sooner if my computer hadn’t decided to have a boot up error on a day that was plagued with problems and binned as a nonstarter in the end. However I eventually resolved the issue… Continue Reading →

Dripback – Blessed With Less Than Nothing (4 Family Records)

I fucking love Dripback, ever since they erupted like a giant zit in the face of the metal fans in 2011 with the infectious as ebola (but half as pleasant) “Inhaling The Ashes” EP, this bunch of North London yobs… Continue Reading →

Ancient Ascendant – Echoes And Cinder (Candlelight)

Not even the end of March and so far we’ve had some absolutely blinding British death metal records unleashed upon us….. Amputated, Basement Torture Killings, Cancerous Womb & Dripback have all smashed us to bits with their latest releases and… Continue Reading →

Pure Negative – Insert [Twist] Pull (SR)

Pure Negative in the house! Well they should be in the house but if they were they would be squatting it as they have no home, no label willing to pick them up and give them some love and warmth,… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Saturday 11th August 2012

Napalm Death have this year off so it’s the turn of the other Brummie brutalists Benediction to open the main stage today. It does seem as though one or the other is guaranteed to play the festival each year, not… Continue Reading →
