Boarhammer – II: Chemognosis – A Shortcut to Mushrooms (Naturmacht)

How can an album title like this one not create an air of intrigue? Indeed, among a sea of review invites this and the short accompanying blurb jumped right out at me almost saying “boo” in the process. This offering… Continue Reading →

Satan Worship – Satanik Overdose Of Hell (Folter Records)

This is the Third album from a black thrash band from Brazil/Germany, a truly international affair. The demonic artwork on the album cover is simple but effective, you know what you are going to hear without reading any description from… Continue Reading →

Terrorstahl – Distanz (Boersma Records)

This is a German band singing in their native tongue, labelled as black thrash, but to my ears its more melodic death metal. The production is powerful and vibrant, I’d give a comparable to the late 90’s and the Gothenburg… Continue Reading →

Carnal Tomb – Embalmed In Decay (Testimony Records)

What does one get invited to at a Carnal Tomb? Well an Orgy Of The Dead naturally. However, it is unlikely this German quartet are going to turn up sporting favourite angora sweaters to gyrate with The Wolfman, zombies and… Continue Reading →

Misanthropic War – Utter Human Annihilation (Godz Ov War)

I mean, with that name (though can you have a non-misanthropic war?) and that label and that cover I think you can pretty much guess that genre and picky sub-genre aside you’re in for a total racket. Now that’s fine… Continue Reading →

Sulphur Aeon – Seven Crowns and Seven Seals (Van)

When you’re Escortrilhium in the streets and Imperialist in the sheets. Or, alternatively, Imperialist in the Cambrian period. Or Imperialist in general (but, you know, if they came from Germany). In Seven Crowns and Seven Seals, Sulphur Aeon finally decide… Continue Reading →

Phantom Winter – Her Cold Materials (This Charming Man Records)

Two things jumped out at me about this release before I’d even listened to a single note of it. The first being that, after a good few weeks of mild meteorological chaos and temperatures going up and down like a… Continue Reading →

Decembre Noir – Your Sunset My Sunrise (Lifeforce Records)

It’s the fifth full length album by my calculations for German band Decembre Noir since 2014. I don’t believe I had the pleasure before, but usually Lifeforce Records are a fair barometer that the music within is likely to be… Continue Reading →

Nebelkrähe – Ephemer (Crawling Chaos)

At the dawn of a new age of war Germans Nebelkrähe have released a new album focusing on the ephemeral character of life and the fact that nothing lasts forever and everything can be over in the blink of an… Continue Reading →

Doro – Conqueress – Forever Strong And Proud (Nuclear Blast)

Doro, metal queen indeed, is less than a year older than me. Considering how long I’ve been listening to her that is a sobering realisation. I have immense respect for her as an artist and a person – she has… Continue Reading →

The Spacelords – Nectar Of The Gods (Tonzonen Records)

Ah yes, the cover of this album reminds me it is Shroom season. Back in more long-haired and youthful times foraging of liberty caps was an occupation I enjoyed although having brewed them up and digested it was tinged with… Continue Reading →

Diabolic Night – Beneath the Crimson Prophecy (High Roller)

Barking at the world, Diabolical Night return with a second full length release. This is a project by multi-instrumentalist “Heavy Steeler”, at some stage with a live band, these tunes will see the light of day on stage. For now,… Continue Reading →
