Malokarpatan – Vertumnus Caesar (Invictus Productions)

This album is described as “an occult rock opera dimming the lines between first wave black metal, classic heavy metal and progressive rock”. “Vertumnus Caesar” is the group’s third album release in five years. The strange intro takes us back… Continue Reading →

Solar Sons – Another Dimension (S/R)

Ave Noctum is a site that very much dwells amongst the denizens of the underground scene, revelling in the music that flies below the radar of much of the metal media, let alone the mainstream, with submissions for review from… Continue Reading →

Domkraft – Sonic Moons (Magnetic Eye)

Referring to Swedish power-trio Domkraft as “psychedelic Warlords” is not too wide of the mark. Indeed, on their fourth “Sonic Attack,” it’s evident that this is no gentle trip for aging old hippies to comfortably smoke a blunt to and… Continue Reading →

High Priest – Invocation (Magnetic Eye Records)

Chicago is the city that birthed electric blues but a group of young lads by the name of High Priest seem to have sought their inspirations from a different source who took those blues roots into far more ominous and… Continue Reading →

Trespass – Wolf at the Door (From the Vaults)

The name will be known, I saw the band recently in Germany and they were well received. There is an infamous track that most people regard as their signature tune, but there are more days (not just “one of those… Continue Reading →

Megalith Levitation – Obscure Fire (Aesthetic Death)

It can’t be easy for any band practicing dark rites in deepest Russia right now and apart from a look to check they are not preaching warmongering politics we have to give them a pass without any form of prejudice…. Continue Reading →

L’Ira Del Baccano – Cosmic Evoked Potentials (Subsound Records)

Time, or at least the way we perceive it as passing, can be a strange old thing, and it’s something I’ve particularly noticed when listening to music. Sometimes it can seem to drag, indicating something is an unwelcome slog to… Continue Reading →

Bafomet – F.O.A.D.I.F (Iron Fist Productions)

Vladphemer the Sodomizer, Noctisadistum and Branded Rebel, the members of black / speed metal band Bafomet, formerly known as Sigil of Bafomet, have pleasure in bringing us “F.O.A.D.I.F”. I know what FOAD is, but not IF – in flames? Anyway,… Continue Reading →

Hivemind – The Edict Of The Elohim (Aesthetic Death)

As Voivod once stated in a futuristic voice “We are connected” and although musically very different, that is what we have here, an epic album taking to the outer limits and providing a cautionary tale of the near future for… Continue Reading →

Amon Acid – Cosmogony (Helter Skelter / Regain Records)

Amon Acid haven’t been around that long. Starting life as a duo in 2018, founding members Briony Charvas and Sarantis Charvas have enlisted John Sutcliffe to create a power trio in the truest sense. “Cosmogony” finds the band continuing to… Continue Reading →

Arkheth – Clarity Came With A Cool Summer’s Breeze (I Voidhanger)

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, or indeed, an album. Many of us have, especially in the world of heavy music. One look at the new album artwork on Aussie band, Arkheth’s “Clarity Came With A… Continue Reading →

Obiat – Indian Ocean (Self Released)

Obiat are back. After first making their mark on the London scene having decanted from Poland some twenty years ago, it’s fair to say that they went a bit quiet. There is a fair old gap between their last release… Continue Reading →
