It’s odd. Blame the plague but I realised when I got this that I hadn’t heard anything from this atmospheric UKBM band for a couple of years and from what I thought was just a diversification from their sound on… Continue Reading →

Urne – Serpent & Spirit (Candlelight)

Urne’s first EP, 2018’s “The Mountain Of Gold” offered a tantalising look at what a couple of ex-Hang The Bastard guys could offer as they went in search of a more progressive sound. Joe Nally (bass, vocals) and Angus Neyra… Continue Reading →

Lord Mortvm – Diabolical Omen of Hell (Helter Skelter Productions)

OK let’s address this quickly first. They use a “v” instead of a “u”. Aaaargh. This much is troooooooo I know I know I know this much is trooooooo!   Right, that is out of the way – onto the tunes. Dark, drugged out Satanic Black… Continue Reading →

Morbid Evils – Deceases (Svart)

Last time I heard Keijo Niinimaa he was assaulting (in a pleasurable way) my ears with Rotten Sound. IF I am honest they were the band that opened the door back up to Grind for me, a door that had… Continue Reading →

Love Sex Machine – Asexual Anger (Lost Pilgrims Records)

Get up. Get on up. Stay on the scene. “Which scene?” I hear you cry. Well gentle reader that would be the filthy, riff filled sludgecore scene – cos that is what these fellas from Lille are offering. Starting life… Continue Reading →

Crowbar, Hang The Bastard & Dripback – London Garage 4/3/14

Oof this is one heavyweight bill that’s been winding its way from Manchester to Glasgow taking in ten unsuspecting UK towns. Half way through and it’s London’s turn which is perfect for the opening band Dripback as it sees the… Continue Reading →
