Druadan Forest – Dismal Spells Part II -The Night Circus (Werewolf Records)

V-Khaos, the entity behind dozens of projects not least Dim Lights, returns to the forests of his birth, Druadan, and the world of dungeon synth after their cosmic journey through ‘Portals’. So I guess as the lurker on the threshold… Continue Reading →

Vargrav – The Nighthold (Werewolf Records)

A feast of both clear and opaque cinematic visions is promised on this third album release from Finland’s Vargrav. With two members of Moonsorrow and a vast number of projects among the four band members, it’s not surprising that this… Continue Reading →

Grieve – Wolves Of The Northern Moon (Werewolf Records)

It looks like the nails I hammered into the coffin of this Finnish band’s first and supposedly only full length were premature as the duo of V-Khaoz and Werwolf of Vargrav and Satanic Warmaster respectively, to name just one notable… Continue Reading →

Satanic Warmaster – Aamongandr (Werewolf Records)

You could say that the name Satanic Warmaster is a bit ‘Metal band name generator’ but to be honest it’s pretty cool. It exudes evil Black Metal energy which is exactly what this band excel at. This Finnish solo force,… Continue Reading →

Blood Chalice – The Blasphemous Psalms Of Cannibalism (Werewolf Records)

Finland’s Blood Chalice have absolutely no subtleties whatsoever, you’ve only to listen the band’s debut ‘Sepulchral Chants Of Self-Destruction’, released in 2017, to realise that. Their unhinged savagery tears you apart and continues with this sophomore album with a promo… Continue Reading →

Druadan Forest – Portals (Werewolf Records)

Ever had the feeling you’re on to a hiding to nothing with trying to review an album? I was so taken with the last album by Finnish black metal/dungeon synth project Druadan Forest (the domain of V-Khaoz) that I bought… Continue Reading →

Grieve – Funeral (Werewolf Records)

For some reason the Finnish black metal scene has always held something above other black metal scenes in other countries, I am not quite sure what it is that attracts me to the bands from the frosty country but one… Continue Reading →

Chamber Of Unlight – Realm Of The Night (Werewolf Records)

Chamber Of Unlight have unleashed their latest opus, ‘Realm Of The Night’, and it is a mesmerising cacophony of grandiose synth, pounding string work, punishing percussion and ravenous vocals, a truly crushing aural attack on your tympanums. From ‘Premium’ to… Continue Reading →

Förgjord – Laulu Kuolemasta (Werewolf Records)

Black Metal is very much a seasonal thing for me, I’m that sad act who ‘prefers it in the winter’. That said I kind of feel that those foundations have been shaken in the last few weeks. What with the… Continue Reading →

Faustian Pact – Outojen Tornien Varjoissa (Werewolf Records)

I find the history of Black Metal perhaps the most interesting musical uprising out of any genre. This is a movement that delves into all areas of depravity and destruction. It could even perhaps be described as scary, and yet… Continue Reading →

Advent Sorrow – Kali Yuga Crown (Werewolf)

Weapon in hand, flick knives flashing, petrol bombs flying … the violence depicted in the lyrics of Advent Sorrow feels at times all too real. ‘Mass graves… superior men and women driven by hate for weakness… The feeling we get… Continue Reading →

Druadan Forest – Dismal Spells From The Dragonrealm (Werewolf)

So labelling this ‘dungeon synth’, according to the PR, is ‘revisionist ‘ and sells short the man’s work. Well only is you think dungeon synth is something to be sneered at, and I most certainly do not think that. Dungeon… Continue Reading →
