Merrimack – Of Grace and Gravity (Season Of Mist)

When gravity fails you may well fall into an infinite abyss, can you do so gracefully though? The name Merrimack, I just discovered, comes from Graham Masterton’s novel Walkers and is that black void confronted in a tale of ancient… Continue Reading →

Dysangelium – Death Leading (W.T.C.)

Dysangelium have hacked themselves quite a reputation despite only having one long player – Thánatos Áskçsis if you need reminding – and a couple of demos before that. Perhaps proving that its worth bottling yourself up and waiting for the… Continue Reading →

The Order Of Apollyon – Moriah (Agonia)

Back in the late-90s, a phrase would often crop up in reviews of black/death metal albums – ‘Dissection clone’. By and large, this was spot-on. In the wake of Dissection’s landmark second album ‘Storm of the Light’s Bane’, a whole… Continue Reading →
