Anzi – Black Dog Bias (Chemistry Music)

Everyone has gaps in their collections. Mine happens to be industrial and synthetic rock. Anzi (which even Last.Fm struggles to locate) nicely fills that gap, so my points of reference here are inevitably going to be bands like Rammstein, Ministry… Continue Reading →

Shining – IX Everyone, Everything, Everywhere Ends (Season Of Mist)

What a great album title and perfect use of alliteration, airing a complete sense of negativity and disillusionment in just a few words. It can only really mean that everyone’s favourite depressive Swedes are back with their ninth album. I… Continue Reading →

Porta Nigra – Kaiserschnitt (Debemur Morti)

I absolutely loved 2012 release ‘Fin de Siècle’ from this wacked out decedent German dark metal duo. It delivered the most compulsive and memorable song of the year in the form of ‘Meglomaniac’, one listen to it and you were… Continue Reading →

Tanzwut – Freitag der 13 (AFM)

Tanzwut are an interesting bunch. Originally formed as a side project of the grandiose medieval metal themed Corvus Corax, the “Dancing Rage” (direct translation) they have gone through a few shifts in musical style before reaching this point – pounding… Continue Reading →

Devilment – The Great And Secret Show (Nuclear Blast)

Formed by guitarist Daniel Finch, Devilment have been in existence since 2011 and gained a fair bit of buzz about 18 months back when it was announced that Dani Filth would be joining as the vocalist. Now, I’m not the… Continue Reading →

Megaherz – Zombieland (Napalm)

Rammstein proved that singing entirely in German is no barrier to huge international success. I have many album’s in Norwegian, Finnish, French, Japanese, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese of one branch or another, Taiwanese, Faroese, Hebrew, Latin and a couple of… Continue Reading →

Nachtblut – Chimonas (Napalm)

I’ve been impressed with the sheer quality of music hitting this site throughout this year. And so perhaps it shouldn’t surprise me that one of the few genres I’ve only ever mustered a passing interest for can threaten to hurl… Continue Reading →

Maxdmyz – The Hate Plane (Renegade)

As many reviewers here have said, every now and then you get a great album which stands out from the drivel and makes you enjoy this job. Sadly, this isn’t the case here. London based Maxdmyz say they have a… Continue Reading →

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter – Tief & Tiefer. (Nuclear Blast)

  Three years have passed since Die Apokalyptischen Reiter released their excellent ‘Moral & Wahnsinn’, and to make up for the three year gap they have returned with a double album, ‘Tief. Tiefer’, which translates as ‘Deep. Deeper’, not in… Continue Reading →

Crematory – Antiserum (SPV)

I had a preview of this album with last year’s single release of the bouncy and anthemic “Shadowmaker”, which features on this album. It mixes Crematory’s melodic gothic metal style, which they’ve been perfecting over 23 years, with a strong… Continue Reading →

Calling Of Lorme – Pygmalion (SR)

Everything about this one looked a little on the strange side but we like it when that happens and we have something to decipher. The artwork hints at some sort of post-apocalyptic future, the band name is frankly odd although… Continue Reading →

Sic Zone – Bear the Consequences (DR Music)

Singing along happily to “The Day You’re Gonna Die” and generally protesting about anything and everything may not sound like the recipe to a memorable work, but Sic Zone come at this album from an interesting angle. It would be… Continue Reading →
