Fleurety – Inquietum (Aesthetic Death)

I have had a bit of an infatuation with Fleurety ever since hearing their incredibly weird and breath-taking 1995 album Min tid Skal Komme. It subverted genre within the black metal world that I had come to love from Norway… Continue Reading →

In Human Form – Opening of the Eye by the Death of I (I, Voidhanger)

That’s one clunky album title but actually that’s Ok as this is one clunky album. Continuing on their everlasting quest to pick out the obscure and unfathomable, Italian label I, Voidhanger always manage to keep us on our toes and… Continue Reading →

Fleurety – Fragmenta Cuinsvis Aetatis Contemporaneae (Aesthetic Death)

Those manipulators of mayhem and tormentors of trickery Fleurety have called in from planet very strange again and caught us completely off guard. Nobody should be that surprised though as it is what the Norwegian outfit centred around core members… Continue Reading →

Interview – Virus

Norwegian avant-weirdoes Virus have just released 4th album Memento Collider via Dark Essence Records after a break of five years. As expected it is an ambitious and perplexing listen, stemming right back to a time when everything was going very… Continue Reading →

Virus – Memento Collider (Karisma)

This is one Virus I never mind catching even if it has been more than mere antibiotics that have held it off since 2011 album ‘The Agent That Shapes The Desert.’ Stemming from one of the most creative and revered… Continue Reading →

Blitzkrieg Baby – Cannibal Commando (Beläten)

‘Ultra-negative industrial pop’ is a pretty good way to describe Norwegian act Blitzkrieg Baby as they come in a harrowing form that derives right back to a time in the 70’s when the likes of Throbbing Gristle, SPK and Boyd… Continue Reading →

Arcturus – Arcturian (Prophecy)

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 →

Horla / Wytchfilth – Split (S/R)

My first question on discovering that both these one man black metal bands hail from Norwich was what would Alan think if he encountered them to play on the local radio show? I tried to find a suitable quote from… Continue Reading →

Manimalism – S/T (Adversum)

Chances are you have never heard of this rather obscure Norwegian entity but if I told you their roots spread right back in time to the early 90’s when the black metal scene in the country started going all weird… Continue Reading →

Orob – Into the Room of Perpetual Echoes (S/R)

A very poetic and atmospheric title sets you up nicely for this second EP from French post, progressive black metal band Orob. After a short choral intro we are flung rapidly down ‘The Pathway’ and it is quickly evident from… Continue Reading →

Blitzkrieg Baby – Kid’s World (Beläten)

Last album by the beastly Blitzkriek Baby ‘Porcus Norvegicus’ literally chilled me to the (ham) bone. This was cold industrial, martial music for a world on the brink of collapse and it was horrifying in tone and execution. Needless to… Continue Reading →

Shrapnel – The Virus Conspires (Candlelight)

Thrash Metal. What does that mean to you? For me it means tight jeans, Converse basketball boots, patched denim over leather (Bonded By Blood back patch was mine), mullets, Lowenbrau and getting smashed to bits at Kings, The Greyhound or… Continue Reading →
