Uncle Sam – Heaven or Hollywood (Minotauro)

It ain’t easy being sleazy – or maybe it is. Uncle Sam were around for a hot minute (as they say) during the 80’s. Trying to get any info on them is tough even in these world wide webslung days…. Continue Reading →

Witherscape – The New Tomorrow (Century Media)

I picked up Witherscape’s first album ‘The Inheritance’ on an old fashioned whim after seeing it in an independent record shop (one of the few that remain), and then being drawn in by the cover, the suggestion on the cover… Continue Reading →

Ram / Portrait – Under Command (Metal Blade)

This is a nice release, two of my favourite Swedish bands playing two distinct styles or variations of traditional metal, both having one individual track, one cover track and another cover of a track by the other band (if you… Continue Reading →

Audrey Horne – Pure Heavy (Napalm)

Audrey Horne is a band that have split the opinion of some of my more extreme metal following friends, mourning as they do the fact that a band once formed of members of Enslaved, Gorgoroth and the like did not… Continue Reading →

Ace Frehley – Space Invader (SPV)

Ace always attracts good and bad comments when you look at the internet forums, I for one don’t really give a damn, Ace was part of one of the most important hard rock bands ever and various solo releases have… Continue Reading →

Blackwitch Pudding – Covered In Pudding Vol. 1 (S/R)

Now we get stuff from some weird people and places at Ave Noctum but this is to the best of my knowledge the first time we have received anything from three six-hundred-year-old wizards who from picking up too many bad… Continue Reading →

Doro – Powerful Passionate Favourites (Nuclear Blast)

Doro is a woman who needs no long winded introductions. Whether you are a fan of her or not, you cannot deny the title which has been placed upon her – “The Queen of Metal”. It is hard to dispute… Continue Reading →

Monte Pittman – The Power of Three (Metal Blade)

Madonna’s guitarist. Erstwhile member of Prong. Solo musician.  Monte Pittman presents his latest album The Power of Three. If you are expecting Madonna style diva pop (and why the hell would you this is Ave Noctum after all) you will… Continue Reading →

Black Metal Evolution Of The Cult – Dayal Patterson (Feral House)

It’s fair to say that most books and indeed films tackling the subject of black metal are woefully inadequate. They are either put together by outsiders trying to look in and not fully understanding or integrating with the subject matter,… Continue Reading →

Netherbird – The Ferocious Tides of Fate (Scarecrow Music Group)

Netherbird, Swedish Death metal, black metal, symphonic etc. etc., metallers have unknowingly been around for nearly 10 years. I for one will hold my hand up and say ‘who?’  With an array of previous releases including their first single in 2005… Continue Reading →

Shitfucker – Suck Cocks in Hell (Hells Headbangers)

Detroit. Motown. The Motor City. The city that sent the US to War. Bankrupt (both morally and financially). Fallen giant. Home of regeneration and urban farming. Hopeful. Hockeytown. Lots has been said about the City of Detroit and its surrounding… Continue Reading →
