Ministry – Hopiumforthemasses (Nuclear Blast)

Yeehaw rednecks beware, cantankerous moral crusader Al Jourgensen and his bunch of rebellious wranglers are back and nobody is safe from a tongue-lashing. Mind you after 16 albums and a storied career of over four decades we wouldn’t really accept… Continue Reading →

Gary Numan – Wembley Arena 7/5/22

After sitting outside enjoying the sunshine on a nice evening in Wembley we are suddenly plunged into darkness inside the arena as support band Divine Shade take the stage. With the venue being sponsored by an energy company you would… Continue Reading →

Vaina – Futue Te Ipsum – Angel With Many Faces (Aesthetic Death)

And once again you never know what you’ll get with an Aesthetic Death release but it will be different. And this album by the Finnish Vaina is certainly that. Amusingly their entry on Metal Archives just says black metal. Um…. Continue Reading →

The Birthday Massacre – Fascination (Metropolis)

It’s all been a bit confusing about birthdays of late and what you can and cannot do during them. We were told that parties were not allowed and then the person who said this allegedly had one themselves, although it… Continue Reading →

GosT – Rites of Love and Reverence (Century Media)

No doubt I was not alone in looking forward to see GosT when electronic artist James Lollar was unceremoniously sent scuttling back home by Covid, future dates scuppered. It’s a familiar story and it only just seems that things are… Continue Reading →

Gary Numan – Intruder (BMG)

It’s remarkable when you think of it but once you get to a certain age, let’s say 50 for the sake of convenience, there are not many musical artists who have been with you the whole crooked pathway through life,… Continue Reading →

Northmaan – Northmaan (Devfire Ent)

A brief bit of online research on Northmaan finds that this one-man project is from “the most Northernmost part of the UK”. A further bit of intrepid Googling point to this being possibly Skaw on the Shetlands.  Now, anyone expecting Northmaan’s debut to be filled with Gaelic rhythms… Continue Reading →

Helfir – The Journey (My Kingdom Music)

Decadent Noir music is the description of this third album by Helfir- the brainchild of Luca Mazzotta. To summarise what this appears to mean on first listen is a gentle brooding mix of electronica and rock – imagine a less dancy VnV Nation jamming… Continue Reading →

Pain of Salvation – Panther (InsideOut)

Prog – either rock or metal – is my arch enemy. My nemesis. Hear me out please, I promise not to be too lengthy. (Not very prog like). This does not mean I hate Prog, rather I have always had an issue with… Continue Reading →

KMFDM – Paradise (Metropolis)

It ain’t easy being a KMFDM fan. I looked back and realised I hadn’t bought a new album since 2009 and had missed about three somehow. This is something that has to be rectified as, well if ever there were… Continue Reading →

Megaton Leviathan – Mage (Blood Music)

I have a question. Are we finally reaching the point in time where genres are pointless? I mean, sure classify something as Rock, Classical, Hip Hop, Jazz if you want but to break it down further is a little like… Continue Reading →

End Christian – Bach part One (Translation Loss / Internet & Weed / Corpse Flower Records)

Trip Hop is a funny beast. As sludge is to NOLA the heady mix of rhythmic dance, hip hop and electronica slithered from Bristol in the 90’s. How strange to hear it’s influence so heavy in End Christian. This is… Continue Reading →
