Nekromantheon – The Visions of Trimegistos (Indie Recordings)

Climb on the stage, dive off, hit the floor, repeat……………Back in 2012 I stumbled across a rowdy bunch of thrashers by the name of Nekromantheon laying waste to the cramped confines of Oslo’s John Dee, and as well as being… Continue Reading →

Obliteration – Cenotaph Obscure (Indie)

Norway placed itself upon the metallic map with its infamous Black Metal scene, something which really took Metal to new Extreme heights. Yet beneath all that there is a rich Death Metal scene. Even Darkthrone’s debut Soulside Journey took a… Continue Reading →

Flight – A Leap Through Matter (High Roller)

Execration – Morbid Dimensions (Duplicate)

These Norwegians are already the proud fathers of two previous experimental death metal releases – 2008’s ‘Syndicates of Lethargy’ and 2011’s ‘Odes of the Occult’. Having missed the pleasure of both these, ‘Morbid Dimensions’ is my introduction to the group…. Continue Reading →

Morbus Chron – Sweven (Century Media)

So, Morbus Chron, a name which has been firmly embedding itself in the underground metal community’s consciousness over the last few years. As with so many bands that I’ve covered lately, they have until now just been a name for… Continue Reading →
