VIII – Decathexis (Third I Rex)

So obscure is the artwork and sleeve of this album that unless I’d been told in advance, I would have struggled to work out that this is the second album by VIII from Sardinia. The listening experience is entirely different,… Continue Reading →

Between The Frost & Evnar – From The Roots 1993-2105 & E.V.N.A.R. Albums (Winter Demons)

I’m throwing these two in together as both Spanish bands have intertwined members and a lot of common ground between them. Both albums have been recently released by Winter Demons and offshoot of the Darkwoods label who embrace all things… Continue Reading →

Behexen – The Poisonous Path (Debemur Morti)

Back in 2008, Finnish black metallers Behexen stood somewhat at a musical crossroads. Having released their 3rd record (and some might say “breakthrough” album) ‘My Soul For His Glory’, it was evident that the band had taken the blasting fury… Continue Reading →

Interview – Kampfar

All has been very busy in the Kampfar Kamp. Delivering their excellent 7th album Profan at the tail end of last year, it seems like they have hardly stopped since. Hitting the road with Gorgoroth and Gehenna on the back… Continue Reading →

Sulphur – Omens of Doom (Dark Essence)

With band members from Gorgoroth, Enslaved, Aeternus and Vulture Industries, and with further connections in the productions and mastering to Taake and Audrey Horne, this album is like Norwegian statement. There’s the added mystery of the band not having released… Continue Reading →

Gorgoroth, Kampfar, Gehenna, De Profundis and The Negation – London Dome 11/12/16

This one has a right solid line-up and it is well worth getting down for early doors to catch 1st band on tonight The Negation from France. There may not be loads in yet to witness the band but they… Continue Reading →

TAOS – Passion Sodomy Terror (Osmose)

It all points to a grim experience. TAOS, or The Arrival of Satan to give their Sunday name, have been creating “radical black metal art” since 1999, having first formed to create a self-proclaimed nihilistic soundtrack for the end of… Continue Reading →

NYX – Home (Agonia)

‘Home’ is the debut full-length album from NYX. No, not the death metal band from Italy…Nope, not that other band from Turin… Certainly not the thrash band from London, and definitely not the French electro-pop band! The NYX in question… Continue Reading →

Ritual Killer – Exterminance (Season Of Mist)

Formed in 1999 by members of Goatwhore and a few like minded nihilists, Ritual Killer was conceived with the aim of being a singularly savage US black metal force. Their debut album (and only release aside from this follow-up) ‘Upon… Continue Reading →

Gorgoroth – Instinctus Bestialis (Soulseller Records)

Gorgoroth……….The band have had their share of controversy since their inception in 1992, not least due to the now infamous Krakow Black Mass show, and of course the high profile split with Gaahl and King, and the ensuing legal battle… Continue Reading →

Mortis Mutilati – Mélopée Funèbre (Naturmacht Productions)

It was two years ago that the French black metal entity Mortis Mutilati released its second album of crypt dwelling black metal. Inspired by cemeteries, death and the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, ‘Nameless Here for Evermore’ was an unsurprisingly… Continue Reading →

Demonic Slaughter – Haunted (Pagan Records)

“Haunted”, Demonic Slaughter’s fifth album release, captures the aura of old school black metal. It’s about the decay of mankind. It’s cold and frosty. Essentially, that’s the sum of it. Demonic Slaughter are Polish but that’s incidental as the style… Continue Reading →
