Famyne – Famyne II: The Ground Below (Svart Records)

Before I commence with the review for the new work by Canterbury’s finest five piece, there are several questions I need to ask. Do you like Doom? Do you prefer to listen to whole albums rather than disposable single track… Continue Reading →

Tenebra – Moongazer (New Heavy Sounds)

Tenebra are a Four-piece psychedelic rock band who hail from Bologna and ply their musical trade with a heavy dose of 70’s hard rock and blues, giving their work the umbrella term ‘retro-rock/stoner’. Loaded with sounds similar to those from… Continue Reading →

Kryptograf – The Eldorado Spell (Apollon Music)

For many months now I’ve been slowly formulating the theory that the esteemed editor of the review site that you are currently perusing has been gaslighting me by sending nothing but wave after wave of Swedish rock and metal for… Continue Reading →

Earthless – Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons (Nuclear Blast)

Blimey! Has it really been four whole years since I last reviewed some new Earthless? A quick click or two (see Ave Noctum passim) confirms that this is sadly the case, specifically their rather excellent ‘Black Heaven’. Now, what the… Continue Reading →

Sunnata – Burning In Heaven, Melting On Earth (S/R)

Poland’s Sunnata deliver their fourth long player since their formation back in 2013. More than your straight-ahead doom band, they offer up a more rounded music experience that pulsates and immerses the listener. “Crows” opens the album with slightly psychedelic,… Continue Reading →

White Dog – White Dog (Rise Above)

The Rise Above label, and their off-shoot Rise Above Relics, is one that I have spent one heck of a lot of money on since it was founded by one time Napalm Death unintelligible noise belcher and erstwhile Cathedral Huggy… Continue Reading →

King Corpse – Sacred Crimson (S/R)

Sacred Crimson is the second EP from emerging Black Country stoner metallers King Corpse, following their successful self-titled debut and tours supporting the likes of Conan and Monolord.  It’s worth noting that anyone buying a physical copy will get more… Continue Reading →

Souls of Tide – Black Magic (Mighty Music)

Firstly, you must give props, platitudes and other hyperbolic praise for ANY band that decides to name their album ‘Black Magic’. It is so on the nose for anything even vaguely smelling of rock in any shape, way of form,… Continue Reading →

Witchskull – A Driftwood Cross (Rise Above)

“The skies are dark. The atmosphere is thick with dread. The future looks bleak. Only pure, red-blooded heavy fucking metal can save us now.” That’s the beginning of the bio for Witchskull. And while it might seem a tad exaggerated,… Continue Reading →

Gorilla – Gorilla / Maximum Riff Overdrive (S/R)

Dear readers, the supposedly “landmark” age of 50 is now well and truly behind me; does that make a difference to how I live my life? Nope, not one jot. However, there are significant times in popular music that are… Continue Reading →

Children Of The Sün – Flowers (The Sign Records)

There’s a lot of retro “classic rock” around these days. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I guess it’s more about the way it’s done. Sweden for some apparent reason seems to have been a hotbed… Continue Reading →

Clouds Taste Satanic – Evil Eye (Kinda Like Music)

New York post-doom outfit, Clouds Taste Satanic have released their fifth long player “Evil Eye”. This is a two track instrumental album released on Walpurgis Eve that is the first of a destined two part sonic journey which will continue… Continue Reading →
