Fields Of The Nephilim & The Membranes – London Empire 17/12/22

It’s certainly not the first time to round off the gig going year with a show from the Nephs. They do like playing as close to the Summer and Winter solstices as possible. Indeed, a poster behind me reminds of… Continue Reading →

Dream Unending – Tide Turns Eternal (20 Buck Spin)

20 Buck Spin have seen me right this last couple of years. Hulder, Blood Incantation and one of my albums of the year (still cogitating and deliberating as I type) Worm with ForeverGlade. Due to this, expectation is high with Dream Unending’s debut release.  Add to those hopes… Continue Reading →

Cemetery Echo – Come Share My Shroud (Petrichor)

Death Rock – does that name wind you up as it does me? I am just too long in the tooth and too scarred by crimpers to dig that kind of jive talking. However, our colonial friends over the Atlantic… Continue Reading →

Lekamen Illusionen Kallet – Avgrundspoetens Flamma (Moribund)

Yep, it’s a bit of a mouthful and no surprise this project is shortened to the more immediate name of LIK. Although they are Swedish, they should not be confused with the death metal band of the same name. I… Continue Reading →

Inferno – Paradeigma (Phosphenes of Aphotic Eternity) (Debemur Morti Productions)

Inferno have been around a good while. This Czech Black Metal ensemble have been casting their spells since 1996 and Paradeigma is their eighth full length release. This album has as its muses a triumvirate of weighty tomes – “The Red Book” by Jung ,  “Time Reborn” by… Continue Reading →

Kraken Duumvirate – The Stars Below, The Seas Above (Silent Future Recordings)

Kraken – a mythical creature that confused me for years. As a child I fell in love with Greek mythology through the film Clash of the Titans. “Release the Kraken!” what a scene. Poseidon unleashed the mighty beast upon Andromeda…. Continue Reading →

Wayfarer – A Romance with Violence (Profound Lore)

Apparently, this is Wayfarer’s fourth album, and even from the outset it shows. There’s a steadiness and a confidence that comes from work put in here, and a sense that everyone is on the same page musically for this adventure…. Continue Reading →

Self Hypnosis – Contagion of Despair (Svart Records)

Kris Clayton started writing new material for Camel of Doom, his avant-garde stoner project.  On realising that things were getting even more leftfield he roped in his former Esoteric bandmate Greg Chandler.  The pair drafted in Tom Vallely in to drum and he hopped on the… Continue Reading →

Louise Patricia Crane – Deep Blue (Peculiar Doll Records)

I am not alone having a whole lotta love for musical collective The Eden House. Formed by musicians with various past ties to cult Gothic acts Fields Of The Nephilim and NFD such as Simon Rippin and Stephen Carey they… Continue Reading →

Blaze Of Perdition – The Harrowing Of Hearts (Metal Blade)

This posed a question, is it better to hear new material on album first or live? Having caught Polish act Blaze Of Perdition a couple of months ago and noted that their song-craft would probably make more sense if allowed… Continue Reading →

MRome – Leech Ghetto (S/R)

As I discovered on covering last unwieldly entitled album ‘Noetic Collision on the Roof of Hell’ Polish band MRome don’t exactly play by the rules. Truly independent they state that they “are not interested in promoting band members by lame… Continue Reading →

Cemetery Lights – The Underworld (Nuclear war Now!)

USBM from Rhode Island – Cemetery Lights have a penchant for the classics. I am not talking Mayhem and Darkthrone I mean ancient civilisations.  They released a debut cassette Lamuralia last year which focussed on Rome, this was followed by the… Continue Reading →
