Harmagedon – Dystopian Dreams (Svart Records)

This album is described as a “concoction of melodic death metal and crust punk”, with the band’s style being likened to Black Sabbath, Entombed, Neurosis and High on Fire. This is the debut album from the no-frills, “three piece riff… Continue Reading →

Marthe – Further In Evil (Southern Lord)

An exciting debut record that appears to have come from nowhere. The last time I had something like this to review was Hulder’s debut and that ended up being my album of the year! Further in Evil could well end up hitting… Continue Reading →

Dismal Aura – Imperium Mortalia (Avantgarde)

With a name like Dismal Aura one may well anticipate a band playing atmospheric doom or DSBM but that’s not exactly what we get here. This trio from Ottawa are a politicised musical weapon tackling subject matter such as colonialism,… Continue Reading →

Downfall of Gaia – Silhouettes of Disgust (Metal Blade)

Last time I checked, the collapse of Mother Earth was still in progress. The German crust punk/post-black metal band Downfall of Gaia, named after that very same process, can therefore claim undiminished relevance despite being active for 15 years. Silhouettes… Continue Reading →

Litost – Pathos (Blood Fire Death)

The Collins dictionary defines the Czech word ‘Litost’ as ‘a state of agony and torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery’……Cheerful stuff indeed, but actually it is the perfect moniker for this Spanish outfit who create a… Continue Reading →

Depravation – IV: Letvm (Lifeforce Records)

Once again German band Depravation and German label Lifeforce Records have combined to spew out another full-length release full of Black/Death Metal violence and intensity with a touch of crustiness for good measure. ‘IV: Letvm’ is the band’s third album… Continue Reading →

Inebrious Bastard – God Swipes Left (Crust Almighty)

We have touched upon this Australian based act a few times in the past with split releases and 7 inches and now they return with a full album of 14 tracks. Naturally due to the nature of the beast it… Continue Reading →

Doldrey – Celestial Deconstruction (Pulverised Records)

So, a few things made me want to review this album. The first was that the band were described as “proto-death metal”. Now me, I’m a sucker for primitive aggression, so that was enticing. The second thing was that Doldrey… Continue Reading →

Masakre – Morbid Extinction (Pulverised)

Deep from the thriving darkest Indonesian underground or perhaps the depths of hell itself we have Masakre a noisy quartet with deathly crust at their heathen hearts. The group’s second EP Infernal Praise did as suggested in 2021 with 2… Continue Reading →

Wolfbastard – Hammer The Bastards (Clobber Records)

Does anyone else class local gigs as a sort of separate entity? Part of the gig goers experience is surely the travel, the train beers, missing the encore because the rail service sucks, you know the usual. Whilst that is… Continue Reading →
