It’s been 7 long years since this German bands last output. It is hard to compare them to any other band than Mercyful Fate (more so the King Diamond solo material), primarily from the vocal falsetto style and some of… Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since we crept over the crooked, creaky bridge into Creepsylvania, six years in fact. This time we approach the ghoulish sack-clothed faced wearers lair with extreme caution. I nod acknowledgement to the headless horseman on the… Continue Reading →
Earlier this year we got to grips with Argenthorns album ‘The Ravening’ via Avantgarde music and its symphonic black metal took us off into a dark fantasy world and created a real impact. Now Finnish musician Lord Vrăjitor, also of… Continue Reading →
Multi-national horror obsessed Death Metal troupe Heads for the Dead follow up their 2022 album The Great Conjuration with a 5 track E.P paying homage to horror classics. If you have heard the aforementioned long player or any of their… Continue Reading →
