High Spirits – Safe On The Other Side (High Roller Records)

It’s been over a dozen years since I first heard the high energy hard rock, borderline metal of this Chicago band with 2011’s Another Night and in that time they’ve become a go to band when I’m low with their… Continue Reading →

Dream Tröll – Realm of the Tormentör (S/R)

I’m kvlt as fvk me. Got my Lamp Of Murmuur longsleeve, my Black Cilice vinyl and Askog demo tape set and Wynter Myst cassette. Actually that’s all true, apart from the kvlt bit. I’m kvlt as fvk all. But I… Continue Reading →

High Spirits – Hard to Stop (High Roller)

Everyone know this lot right? So without further ado, I can basically sum up by saying the formula still works, it’s a lockdown survival record, make yourself happy and listen to this album….. Chris Black and co continue to release… Continue Reading →

The Sacrifice – S/T (Season Of Mist)

It’s not the first time we have been caught out by press hyperbole and definitely won’t be the last. French trio The Sacrifice apparently were originally called Panzer Flower and with a name like that and a number 2 hit… Continue Reading →

Idle Hands – Don’t Waste Your Time (Eisenwald)

Leaflet – Outta Door (VR Records)

Leaflet? Really? I mean it’s kinda like calling yourself Junk Mail or Takeaway Menu. Still I thought it made a little sense when the CD declared all but one song was written by singer and guitarist ‘J Leaflet’ even if… Continue Reading →

Screamer – Hell Machine (High Roller)

This is Swedish Screamer’s third full album, their last effort ‘Phoenix’ was pretty damn fine, so this one has a fair bit to stand up against. Thankfully, it’s all positive. Screamer continue in their quest mixing classic metal and including… Continue Reading →

Aktor – Paranoia (High Roller)

Professor Black aka Chris Black of High Spirits and Dawnbringer fame is becoming something of a musical project whore just like a certain Swedish gent we know and love, which is great by the way. With each endeavour, there is… Continue Reading →

Dawnbringer – Night of the Hammer (Profound Lore)

Chris Black may be famous of late for his High Spirits band, but this is his original band that has been going since 1995 and listening to ‘Nobody There’, it’s clear it’s Black’s vocals, albeit a slower tempo than the… Continue Reading →

Night Demon – ST EP (SR)

This is a NWOBHM styled band from Ventura, California who took my fancy a while back and when in Germany recently I saw that they are playing Keep It True festival next year, so the word is out there. Is… Continue Reading →
