Host – IX (Nuclear Blast)

While they have have perhaps not reached the household name status of Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden, Paradise Lost are one of the most influential and important metal bands to hail from our shores, and in many ways can be held… Continue Reading →

LAWA – Instrumentalisation (Cineploit)

Alain Leonard + Alex Wank’s LAWA are back with the promised sister release to ‘Manipulation’. Instrumental sound exploration through a variety of genres is the method here and like its companion piece the ‘mega synthesists’ at the helm of the… Continue Reading →

Hivemind – The Edict Of The Elohim (Aesthetic Death)

As Voivod once stated in a futuristic voice “We are connected” and although musically very different, that is what we have here, an epic album taking to the outer limits and providing a cautionary tale of the near future for… Continue Reading →

The Birthday Massacre – London Garage 12/11/22

Delayed for two years, it seems The Birthday Massacre have had a good jaunt around the UK selling out both London shows at the beginning and end of it. This is the last night and there’s a whopping queue already… Continue Reading →

KMFDM – Hyëna (Metropolis)

If you used to fraternise all the second-hand CD and Record shops across the land (remember them?) you can’t fail to have noticed all those distinctive sleeves by artist Aiden Hughes for the band KMFDM. I wish I had picked… Continue Reading →

The Sun or The Moon – Cosmic (Tonzonen)

The clue is in the album title, the artwork and the band name. “Psychedelic space lounge music” is what they call it. Electronic at the core, one of the influences is Kraftwerk. I can live with that. So too do… Continue Reading →

Thief – The 16 Deaths of My Master (Prophecy)

The title sounds a lot like a 1980’s straight to video Kung Fu classic. I expect Bolo Yeung to guest somewhere and some bad dubbing. However, my Blockbuster nostalgia is damned. The 16 Deaths of My Master is in fact… Continue Reading →

LAWA – The Parallax View (Cineploit)

Cineploit operate out of Austria and are a label that deals with cinematic music and Italian genre film. Needless to say, if I ever visit Vienna it will be one of my 1st stop off points. This introduction to them… Continue Reading →

The Lion’s Daughter – Skin Show (Season Of Mist)

Playing an album can be like opening a musical portal taking you to another time and place. As a listener you should perhaps err on the cautious side as you never know quite where you are going to end up…. Continue Reading →
