Vulture Industries – Stranger Times (Season Of Mist)
There’s no denying that we are living in stranger times and can only thank all things within this chaotic era for music like this, something that reflects the lunacy we are dwelling amidst, during our short time on this crazy planet. It’s been a great.. Read More
Atrox – Monocle (Dark Essence)
Avant-garde perfection cannot be rushed and it has been one hell of a long wait since last album Binocular from Atrox way back in 2008. They are still very much looking through a glass lens which could well see them working on a trilogy (what.. Read More
Helheim – landawarijaR (Dark Essence)
I could not have asked for a better musical companion to the last couple of cold winter weeks and Norse Viking brigade Helheim’s 9th album has been spun on a near daily basis. There’s always plenty of depth about their work and everything is as.. Read More
Enslaved & Vulture Industries – London The Dome 17/3/16
It’s St Patrick’s Day and people are out celebrating in the very Irish pub below the venue tonight; no plastic paddies here! The rest of us are about for a different type of cultural heritage due to a Viking invasion and a celebration of all.. Read More
Sulphur – Omens of Doom (Dark Essence)
With band members from Gorgoroth, Enslaved, Aeternus and Vulture Industries, and with further connections in the productions and mastering to Taake and Audrey Horne, this album is like Norwegian statement. There’s the added mystery of the band not having released anything since their second album.. Read More
Helheim – raunijaR (Dark Essence)

Arcturus, Vulture Industries, Attic, Caronte and Krakow – London Boston Arms 7/5/15
Yes this line-up does look a slightly odd mix on paper. What happened was this was meant to be two shows with Arcturus, Vulture Industries and Krakow playing upstairs at the much bigger Dome venue. Ticket sales, no doubt due to the impending Incineration Festival,.. Read More
Taake – Stridens Hus (Dark Essence)
Just when you thought it was safe to stick two fingers up to the year that was 2014 and tell it to do one the Bergen Blacksters that are Taake unleash their sixth studio album and remind you that it’s not quite over yet. It’s.. Read More
The Earls Of Mars – ST (Candlelight)
I have had great fun witnessing The Earls Of Mars live a few times and seeing people stagger out of the show at its conclusion with dazed looks on their faces, not knowing quite what they have heard and witnessed. Eyes take a while to.. Read More
Virus, Vulture Industries, Krakow & Mondvolland – London Underworld 11/12/12
Scroll to bottom of feature for tripped out photo gallery. There’s a silly amount of things on this time of year and simply not having funds or energy to go to much means picking and choosing very carefully. I had been looking forward to this.. Read More
