The Devil’s Trade – Vidékek Vannak Idebenn (Season Of Mist)

From simply the cover of this new album by David Mako’s The Devil’s Trade project it is clear there are changes afoot. Gone are the stark line drawings and clear titles, instead (appropriately enough considering the label) we get a… Continue Reading →

1476 – In Exile (Prophecy Productions)

Delving into the themes and concepts standing behind albums and bands instead of just focusing on the music has an advantage when writing a review. Since no two world views are alike, there is always something unique to be found… Continue Reading →

Xasthur – Inevitably Dark (Lupus Lounge)

What is exactly is the relationship between the artist and the audience? Does either owe the other anything? When I was young and full of fire and self-righteous opinions, Cold Lake and One Second felt like betrayals. Of course they… Continue Reading →

Henget – Beyond North Star (Season Of Mist)

Meaning “Spirits” (among other interpretations) in native Finnish Henget may well be a new name but with them comes a wealth of experience. Primarily the project of Saturnian Mist vocalist King Aleijster de Satan ‘Beyond North Star’ is essentially a… Continue Reading →

Lumsk – Fremmede Toner (Dark Essence Records)

One of many things I love about metal as a whole, both as a metalhead generally, and specifically as a reviewer, is the infinite and ever-evolving variety and diversity of it. The uninitiated, who tend to hyperfocus on the loudest,… Continue Reading →

I have had the great privilege of seeing this project grow in the live setting over a few years at Warhorns Festival and experiencing the maturing of singer Amber Marie as an artist and the sound and experience she has… Continue Reading →

Yaaroth – The Man in The Wood (I, Voidhanger)

What do we have here? Music to go with the newest craze that is The Last of Us? The cover depicting a person turned fungi? The band name the moniker of the creature? Nope, wrong. But still connected. In what… Continue Reading →

Mishkin Fitzgerald and the Chemical Perils – Grace’s Cradle (Not Saints)

Something a bit deliciously different here but boundaries are meant to be pushed and we cannot be listening to the same styles all the time, things would quickly get stale. Heading off to the south coast and the seaside City… Continue Reading →

King Dude – Death (Ván Records)

TJ Cowgill has made no secret of the fact that King Dude would eventually come to an end. With a career spanning more than a decade, and a discography that boasts two releases for every year of that, he has… Continue Reading →

Heilung – Drif (Season Of Mist)

The key to understanding Heilung and their music is the tag the band have assigned to themselves – amplified history. Since their beginnings in 2015, the ritual collective, the latter being another self-coined label, have been aiming at bringing the… Continue Reading →

Garden of Worm – Endless Garden (Pariah Child)

Dear reader, kindly indulge me as I take you back to the days of my youth. It’s the eighties, and whilst the airwaves were full of Stock, Aitken and Waterman, and the Rave and Indie scene were soon to give… Continue Reading →
