Exhorder – Defectum Omnium (Nuclear Blast)

It’s only been 5 years since their last offering, so nearly 6 times shorter than the last wait we had to endure. But sadly this time Vinnie LaBella isn’t returning, so it’s just Kyle Thomas from the original line up… Continue Reading →

Drunk Thrasher – Raining Vomit (Godz Ov War)

It appears that one of Poland’s premier extreme metal labels has decided to pick up this EP for a further push as originally it was released as a four tracker in 2022. This latest version comes with the said EP… Continue Reading →

Apparition – Fear The Apparition (F.D.A. Records)

This debut album by Spain’s Apparition has already had a release on Headsplit records in July of 2023 on cassette and CD, as I suspect the German label has picked it up for a further CD issue and of course… Continue Reading →

Inculter – Morbid Origin (Edged Circle Productions)

Norway’s Inculter drop their third long player since their 2012 formation. “Morbid Origin” finds them in thrashing, aggressive form having lost none of their edge in the four years since their previous full length release. The band’s core of Remi… Continue Reading →

Satan Worship – Satanik Overdose Of Hell (Folter Records)

This is the Third album from a black thrash band from Brazil/Germany, a truly international affair. The demonic artwork on the album cover is simple but effective, you know what you are going to hear without reading any description from… Continue Reading →

Blessed Curse – Pray For Armageddon (M-Theory Audio)

Thrash. Man I love Thrash. There is something about the combination of riffing, groove and tone in this genre which just appeals to me on a fundamental musical level. Perhaps it is due to the fact Thrash formed the core… Continue Reading →

Ruin Lust – Dissimulant (20 Buck Spin)

There probably couldn’t have been a more appropriate album to review for Ave Noctum than this which is my 666th album review for the site. This is the second time I’ve reviewed a Ruin Lust album with the first being… Continue Reading →

Torture Rack – Primeval Onslaught (20 Buck Spin)

Bands with names like this I always check to see if there any other acts with the same name and was surprised to find out that there aren’t which is highly unusual given that most words and terms surrounding torture… Continue Reading →

Waxen – Die Macht Von Hassen (Moribund)

Toby Knapp could never be accused of lying idle. The American guitar maestro spreads his time across solo projects, Affliktor and his thrashy black metal project, Waxen just to mention a few. “Die Macht Von Hassen” is the sixth release… Continue Reading →

Hellwitch – Annihilational Intercention (Listenable Records)

If, like me, you are of a certain age then you will have experienced the great pleasure of trawling record racks for underground gems in the vinyl sections of independent music stores looking for albums to add to your collection… Continue Reading →

Dave Lombardo – Rites Of Percussion (Ipecac)

There is an old saying/tradition when it comes to drum solos during a gig; “It is time to head to the bar!” Unless it is a phenomenal talent like the late, great, Neal Peart, Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini or Danny… Continue Reading →
