AWAP – Mongrels (S/R)

There’s no shortage of bands who put creativity and a hard-working ethos above all thoughts of anything resembling fame and wealth. They are just happy making a racket, playing the toilet circuit and capturing some attention over their short time… Continue Reading →

Fuming Mouth – Last Day of Sun (Nuclear Blast)

A concept album becomes a concept-reality hybrid after a near brush with death. That’s the background of this “death metal / hardcore for the deep thinker”. Ten years in existence, this is the second full release by the band from… Continue Reading →

Creak – Depth Perception (Prosthetic Records)

This album is described as a “volatile mix of nu-metal, hardcore and metalcore”. The follow-up to the “Bitter Picture” EP, it is produced, mixed and mastered by Connor Sweeney, formerly of Loathe who UK TechFest attendees will know. Starting with… Continue Reading →

Calligram – Position | Momentum (Prosthetic Records)

Of all the bad things to occur in the metal scene in the time I’ve been aware of its existence is the creation of the audible twaddle spew: deathcore. Sadly, given hardcore’s influence on many extreme metal genres it is… Continue Reading →

Death Ray Vision – No Mercy from Electric Eyes (Metal Blade)

I read of a connection with Killswitch Engage. I see mention of hardcore and punk meeting metal, of experimentation, and of politicisation of content. The upshot was that I didn’t know what to expect from Death Ray Vision’s third album… Continue Reading →

Geld – Currency Castration (Relapse Records)

The brief snippets I heard of this Australian band were enough for me to want to review this latest release for the site, before which I did a proper swing through their discography to get a feel for how the… Continue Reading →

Utilitarian – Gaslights (S/R)

If there ever was a soundtrack to what is happening in the world today then UK’s Utilitarian sum it up through 14 tracks of pervading sonic vehemence. Their last couple of releases were unrelenting and vitriolic tirades about the world… Continue Reading →

Witch Ripper – The Flight After The Fall (Magnetic Eye)

I have a strange and turbulent relationship with Prog. Well, I say turbulent but it is more of a Push- ME Pull- You llama of an affair. One half of me despises the over blown and indulgence of the genre whilst the less “angry… Continue Reading →

Terveet Kädet – Kaikki Kaikkia Vastaan (Svart)

If twenty year old me could see me now, sitting here about to review a Terveet Kädet album. You see back pre-internet at Uni a mate of a mate had this jackets with hand scrawled band names on it, all… Continue Reading →

Desolat – Elegance Is An Attitude… To Shit On (Bloodshed Records, Santa Diabla)

This Austrian bands 2020 release ‘Songs Of Love In The Age Of Anarchy’ was one of puzzling but intriguing dynamics, a band never satisfied with one genre focus they constantly switched styles and riffs to craft an album that was… Continue Reading →

Dead Cross – II (Ipecac)

Certain musical adventures, outputs, meanderings, experiments, trials, tribulations, and exercises in ego massaging are able, in certain circumstances, to fly under the radar and generally considered, reviewed, and appreciated from a musicality perspective rather than with any preconceived notions of… Continue Reading →

Thotcrime – D1G1T4L DR1FT (Prosthetic Records)

Thanks to this, I discovered what a thotcrime is, but sticking to the matter in hand the band by this name is a cybergrind group, taking its influence from grindcore, mathcore and hyperpop amongst others. When I saw this album’s… Continue Reading →
