Alfahanne – Vår tid är nu (Dark Essence Records)

Alfahanne return with their sixth album. Known for mixing black metal, classic rock and punk styles along with melodic grooves and bleak atmospheres, “Vår tid är nu” (Our Time is Now) is marketed as their heaviest album so far. A… Continue Reading →

AWAP – Mongrels (S/R)

There’s no shortage of bands who put creativity and a hard-working ethos above all thoughts of anything resembling fame and wealth. They are just happy making a racket, playing the toilet circuit and capturing some attention over their short time… Continue Reading →

Go Ahead And Die – Unhealthy Mechanisms (Nuclear Blast)

Like the rise and fall of the sun, leaves that fall from the trees in the autumn and grow back in the spring, Max Cavalera will release new music at least four times a year. Belying his age (fifty-four, although… Continue Reading →

1476 – In Exile (Prophecy Productions)

Delving into the themes and concepts standing behind albums and bands instead of just focusing on the music has an advantage when writing a review. Since no two world views are alike, there is always something unique to be found… Continue Reading →

Geld – Currency Castration (Relapse Records)

The brief snippets I heard of this Australian band were enough for me to want to review this latest release for the site, before which I did a proper swing through their discography to get a feel for how the… Continue Reading →

Trevor’s Head – A View From Below (APF Records)

This is my first encounter with the genre-fusing trio Trevor’s Head and we were off to a bad start. Initially, listening to their new album A View From Below, I kept wishing they would stick to punk and stop taking… Continue Reading →

Terveet Kädet – Kaikki Kaikkia Vastaan (Svart)

If twenty year old me could see me now, sitting here about to review a Terveet Kädet album. You see back pre-internet at Uni a mate of a mate had this jackets with hand scrawled band names on it, all… Continue Reading →

Venomous Concept – The Good Ship Lollipop (Graphite Records)

I’ve always hated the term supergroup, it sends icy tendrils into my bowels turning me into a chocolate poo machine, causing my intestines to spasm and rendering my jeans into a waterslide of excrement. I mean of course it doesn’t,… Continue Reading →

Inebrious Bastard – God Swipes Left (Crust Almighty)

We have touched upon this Australian based act a few times in the past with split releases and 7 inches and now they return with a full album of 14 tracks. Naturally due to the nature of the beast it… Continue Reading →

Slegest – Avstand (Dark Essence)

Always a pleasure to see Stig Ese and his cohorts return. It’s been four years since Introvert where I noted that the heavy metal was definitely in the ascendancy over the black metal so I was interested to see if… Continue Reading →

Puss Johnson And Satan’s Rats – Satan’s Cats (Salamander Records)

Right I’m not going to bullshit you and pretend that I am completely au fait with the current UK punk scene. In fact even back in time I lived in one of those truly shitty English small towns where tribes… Continue Reading →

Birds in Row – Gris Klein (Red Creek Recordings)

French hardcore band Birds in Row have been around for a little while now, and their new album Gris Klein, really shows it. The instrumentation feels tight, and is the kind of sound only veterans of the genre can produce…. Continue Reading →
