Heathen Foray – Oathbreaker (Massacre)

I do love bands who tell you exactly who and what they are without any pithering about, and well, if Heathen Foray aren’t the one of the best examples I’ve come across in years. The first track of Oathbreaker, which… Continue Reading →

Dinbethes – Balans (Babylon Doom Cult Records)

Not much to go on here, but the statement “for fans of Fluisteraars” was for me a draw. That at least set me up to expect some atmospheric black metal from Netherlands. The opening piece of creeping nastiness is pure… Continue Reading →

Wiegedood – There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road (Century Media)

This hard to pronounce Belgian trio burst pretty much from out of nowhere back in 2015 with the 1st part of their conceptual trio of albums ‘De doden hebben het goed’. Anyone who heard it knew that great things lay… Continue Reading →

Interview – Grave Lines

Hailing from the south east and stashing numerous musical accolades already under their collective belt, Grave Lines are a band that have quickly acquired a more than favourable reputation within the metal community. The four piece played 2017’s edition of… Continue Reading →

Wiegedood – De doden hebben het goed III (Century Media)

If you have been keeping an eye on these oddly sounding named Belgians you will probably be expecting greatness from this the 3rd part of their trilogy of “the dead.” Yeah you could even compare to Night, Dawn and Day… Continue Reading →

Amenra – Mass VI (Neurot)

Amenra have achieved cult status in their near two decades of existence, unleashing a sound that manages to unearth a deep and profound beauty within darkness, building their notoriety with every release of a Prayer, Mass or Sermon, alongside strong… Continue Reading →

Sibiir – S/T (Fysisk Format)

This relatively new outfit from Norway released a venomous EP in 2015 by the title of “Swallow & Trap Them” melding black metal vitriol with post hardcore nihilism as the band releases a debut full length that appeared during the… Continue Reading →
