BloodBox – Post Human Disorder (Headwound Recordingz)

Breakbeat Grindcore? Sounds like a subgenre that would have got Earache chomping at the bit in the early noughties when they were getting excited over Gabber and everything electronic. Bloodbox was born out of NZ Death Metallers Vext in 1999 when CyZERNOBrG and Megalith X moved to Ireland via… Continue Reading →

Doldrey – Celestial Deconstruction (Pulverised Records)

So, a few things made me want to review this album. The first was that the band were described as “proto-death metal”. Now me, I’m a sucker for primitive aggression, so that was enticing. The second thing was that Doldrey… Continue Reading →

Turian – No Longer Human (Wise Blood Records)

Seattle is famous for many things including Amazon’s bottomless pit of consumables, plaid shirts, heroin, all things Grunge and Starbucks, purveyor of coffee and bringer of misery to the third world. What it’s probably not as well known for, is… Continue Reading →

Teethgrinder – Dystopia (Lifeforce)

It’s been 6 years since “Nihilism” rattled my teeth. That was the Dutch noiseniks second album and it gave me all the right feels in all those wrong places (you know the ones that hurt soooooo good!)  The fact that it has taken them 6 years… Continue Reading →

Funeral Chic – Roman Candle (Prosthetic Records)

Never having heard of this US band before, I looked at the name and began to imagine Skepticism covering some disco hits. Thankfully that was short lived as the words ‘punk’ and ‘powerviolence’ (though I’ll be honest that genre name… Continue Reading →

Truchło Strzygi – Gwiezony Demon (Godz ov War)

This band’s previous album “Pora Umierać” (2018) was a riotous, livewire affair so I was hoping that this nominally black-punk band from Poland would give us more of the same. The first thing to note about Truchło Strzygi is that… Continue Reading →

Rumours – The Lower We Sink The Less We Care (Lupercalia Records)

I have a soft spot for dark-tinged rock and punk and that’s why I picked the album at hand from our review basket without exploring much further. As is sometimes the case, it turned out not to be quite what… Continue Reading →

Skumstrike – Deadly Intrusions (Selfmadegod)

Nominative determinism is not only a bastard to spell (two spellchecks and counting), but when the name of the band you’re attempting to unpick and make sense of is called Skumstrike (they must be fans of the previously excellent but… Continue Reading →

Feaces Christ – Gimme Morgue (FDA Records)

The Metal or Punk divide is a great struggle for me, I mean don’t get me wrong it’s not like the two tribes are at war with one another but they seem reluctant to co-exist sometimes. I love classic 70s… Continue Reading →

Wolfbastard – Hammer The Bastards (Clobber Records)

Does anyone else class local gigs as a sort of separate entity? Part of the gig goers experience is surely the travel, the train beers, missing the encore because the rail service sucks, you know the usual. Whilst that is… Continue Reading →

Kavrila – Mor (Narshardaa Records)

This album is about loss. Memories, the struggle and maybe the recovery. “Mor” is the second album from the self-proclaimed doom punk band from Germany. It certainly does seem as if John Lydon has joined a heavy metal band. “Watershed”,… Continue Reading →

The Necromancers Union – Flesh Of The Dead (Petrichor)

Billy Idol, Glenn Danzig, The Sisters of Mercy, Ghost and a huge offering of 80’s goth, punk and B-Movie horror. These things on their own are (mostly) great, so what happens when you mix them all together? You get The… Continue Reading →
