This is one of those albums we never really expected to happen. After Arcturus split in 2007 following on from their ‘Sideshow Symphonies’ album a couple of years earlier things seemed pretty final. However they had persevered through losing original… Continue Reading →
I was disappointed the last time I reviewed a heavy techno album from Finland, but faced now with the promise of something “left field”, for which I’ve always been a sucker, and the unmissable invitation to “open my bowels”, I… Continue Reading →
Back for the first time this year and I am sure not the last are Frozen Ocean, a project helmed by Vaarwel from Moscow and one that regular readers to this site will no doubt have heard of before. I… Continue Reading →
Following up on last year’s EP ‘Norrønasongen. Kosmopolis Nord’ Solefald have completely expanded their reach from the more insular travelogue that took in the traditions and folklore of the Norse centric regions and explored their chilly terrain with a progressive… Continue Reading →

Another day another band that probably deserves a lot more attention. Lyfthrasyr have been largely overlooked outside their native Germany which seems strange given the vast number of symphonic black metal also-rans that get so much praise. Quite how many… Continue Reading →
So album number… actually is anyone really still keeping count? There have been so many albums, either official or not over the years that to have a complete discography of everything is going to be a real task. I certainly… Continue Reading →
Jeez you really would not want to bump into this lot in some deep dark abandoned factory if you were off doing a bit of urban exploring. Dressed in military surplus survival cloaks and wearing odd gas masks as they… Continue Reading →
The gaming industry is every bit as important as the movie industry when it comes to soundtracks, if not more so these days, so the benefits from having your music attached to a popular game series these days are immense…. Continue Reading →
