Manbryne – Heilsweg: O udręce ciała i tułaczce duszy (Terratur Possessions / Malignant Voices)

I’m not a cinema-goer but I do know who Max von Sydow was. This “pure satanic, death worshipping” album from the Polish black metal band Manbryne is in memory of him. One of the band members plays in Blaze of… Continue Reading →

Handful Of Hate – Adversus (Code666)

This Italian black metal outfit has had a fairly steady release rate since the debut in 1997, with a new aural sacrifice being offered up every few years though this latest has taken six years to come out since 2013’s… Continue Reading →

Voidhanger – Dark Days of the Soul (Agonia Records)

I don’t know why it is that Polish death metal vocalists have the raucous tone of people who have indulged in large quantities of vodka and spent their time in smoke-filled rooms, but Voidhanger’s Warcrimer is the archetype of the… Continue Reading →

Absque Cor – Wędrówkę haniebnie zakończyć (Godz Ov War)

Pardon, you what? Yep metal often helps with learning about language and first up its Latin time and Absque Cor which translates I believe to ‘without heart.’ That’s a misnomer though as there is plenty of heart on display on… Continue Reading →

Furia – Księżyc milczy luty (Pagan Records)

I am only a recent convert to the cult of Furia having 1st heard the Polish band with last album Nocel on its re-release. It was an incredibly complex album and once it started it never let up with a… Continue Reading →

Dayal Patterson – Black Metal Into The Abyss (The Cult Never Dies)

If such honours were bestowed Dayal Patterson is fast becoming the person most likely to be recognised as being an official biographer of the black metal scene. This is now his third book following on from Feral House publication Black… Continue Reading →

Satanika – Total Inferno (Osmose)

Quite why I am not familiar with this prolific Italian band is puzzling to say the least as I decided to check their discography before giving this a listen and was impressed with the bands black thrash nihilism plus their… Continue Reading →

Outre – Ghost Chants (Godz Ov War)

There’s been a real buzz about this album and I got to the party a little late due to the fact I mixed up things where the promo was coming from (slightly understandable as it’s being release via Godz ov… Continue Reading →

Furia – Nocel (Pagan Records)

When reviewing Dayal Patterson’s The Cult Never Dies Volume 1 recently I commented about the fact that there were quite a few of the original Polish black metal bands that I had not really heard. This band Furia although only… Continue Reading →

Voidhanger – Working Class Misanthropy (Pagan Records)

With members of Massemord, Iperyt and Infernal War in this trio’s ranks I was well aware this one was going to deliver a right Polish battering. What with the title ‘Working Class Misanthropy: Of Rapture And Disgust’ (to give it… Continue Reading →

Frozen Ocean – Vanviddsanger (Obscure Abhorrence Productions)

It’s always nice to get post from Russia even if in this case the package needed serious de-thawing in a warm cupboard overnight before I could get under the ice and frost and open it. This time there were two… Continue Reading →

Seagulls Insane and Swans Deceased Mining Out the Void – S/T (Witching Hour)

There’s nothing like a short, snappy band name and album title that rolls gently off the tongue to attract readers’ attention, right? It may seem a tad pretentious, and I think this duo used up all their vocabulary naming the… Continue Reading →
