Spectral Voice – Sparagmos (Dark Descent Records)

One thing I have always found intriguing about death/doom and the adjacent genres, is the ability to personify the ever growing sense of dread one feels when facing a frightening situation. It’s an ability that many artists who pride themselves… Continue Reading →

Suffer Yourself – Axis Of Tortures (Aesthetic Death)

Suffer Yourself, originally from Ukraine but now residing in Sweden, are a completely new proposition for me despite the band having already released three full lengths in the last decade. The bands moniker and album title for this fourth opus… Continue Reading →

Autopsy – Ashes, Organs, Blood And Crypts (Peaceville)

The corpse is bloated, noxious gasses escaping from every conceivable orifice as it settles on the slab prior to the mortician impaling it and cutting open. Organs will be removed and plonked into stainless-steel receptacles, the brain examined and dissected… Continue Reading →

Damnation’s Hammer – Into The Silent Nebula (Massacre)

No denying I jumped on this when it came in. Been six years since the last Damnation’s Hammer album ‘Unseen Planets, Deadly Spheres’ and also that long since I last caught them live. So hopefully this album will help them… Continue Reading →

Gateway – Galgendood (Transcending Obscurity)

Commenting on last and self-titled album back in 2018 our reviewer stated “Fuck. This is horrible. This is horrible in a thick, black, filthy way.” For some reason they did not come back for a second diseased dose leaving it… Continue Reading →

Static Abyss – Aborted From Reality (Peaceville)

It’s been just over a year since Static Abyss dropped debut splatter ‘Labyrinth Of Veins’ and shortly after that landed with a sickening thud we had ‘Morbidity Triumphant’ from macabre medical examiners Reifert and Wilkinson to contend with. The Autopsy… Continue Reading →

Runemagick – Beyond the Cenotaph of Mankind (Hammerheart)

A new Runemagick album is always a source of great pleasure for me. One of the most prolific, yet still obscure bands since the turn of the century, the masters of dread atmosphere have been plying their wares since the… Continue Reading →

God Disease – Apocalyptic Doom (Gruesome Records)

William Wordsworth in a particularly tragic mood penned the words “Oh misery! oh misery! Oh woe is me! oh misery!” Of course there was no such thing as death doom back in 1789 but fast forward to the present age… Continue Reading →

Oak – Disintegrate (Season of Mist)

Portuguese duo Pedro Soares and Guilherme Henriques (past and present members of Gaerea) have returned with OAK, their Atmospheric Funeral/Death Doom Metal project whose sophomoric full length release has been picked up for release on CD and LP by Season… Continue Reading →

Elderseer – Drown in the Shallowness (Meuse Music)

Five years on from their debut offering, a demo entitled ‘Bind Us As One’, UK Melodic Death/Doom quartet Elderseer have finally returned to us, and with a debut full length offering in tow no less. Entitled ‘Drowned in the Shallowness’,… Continue Reading →

Mother of Graves – Where the Shadows Adorn (Wise Blood Records)

As the seasons turn and the days become more autumnal, so my musical taste changes and I find myself seeking out more sombre, darker music and as it turns out this album fitted the bill perfectly. I first listened to… Continue Reading →

Enshroudment – As the Light is Extinguished (Good Mourning Records)

Perhaps you’ve got too much to be cheery about? You know, the economy in freefall, the planet on fire, our government being steered by a succession of people seemingly completely incapable of not acting in venal self-interest. Maybe, just maybe,… Continue Reading →
