Imperial Demonic – Beneath the Crimson Eclipse (Black Lion)

From Belfast and playing in the style of Swedish black metal, Imperial Demonic present their debut EP. You’d expect “The Furnace” to be fiery, and so it is. With riffage worthy of Dark Funeral and screams and horror to match,… Continue Reading →

Strangle Wire – Shaped by Human Frailty (Grindscene Records)

So, in all the years that I have been reviewing alongside thee editor (which, fact-fans, is probably longer than many of our readers have been alive, in a slightly depressing moment of clarity), I don’t believe that I have ever… Continue Reading →

Slomatics – Canyons (Black Bow)

Fifteen years is a long time in metal. It’s even longer when you play the gargantuan drawn out sludge that Belfast’s Slomatics do.  The appropriately named “Canyons” is their 6th full length release and having released a trilogy of sorts in the… Continue Reading →

Rabid Bitch of the North – Nothing but a Bitter Taste (Hostile Media)

Belfast’s RBOTN live and breathe British metal of the NWOBHM era, it’s certainly evident on some of the tracks. Whilst others, especially the first two ‘The Missionary’ and ‘Chance’, have an epic metal flavour. They certainly sound ready to go… Continue Reading →

Rex Shachath – Revocation Of The Blood Elect (Great Dane)

Tasty this. Belfast death metal band Rex Shachath follow up 2012’s ‘Sepulchral Torment’ EP with their…. second EP ‘Revocation Of The Blood Elect’.  I’m happy to say it pretty much follows in the heavy old boot prints of the first… Continue Reading →

Stormzone – Seven Sins (Metal Nation)

It’s been at least 5 years since I’ve picked up a Stormzone release, in that time the band have continued to release material and if ‘Seven Sins’ anything to go by, I’ve been missing out big style. This is a… Continue Reading →
