Midnight – Hellish Expectations (Metal Blade)

I wrote a review a week or so ago which took me back to listening to Speed Kills as a teen. Well here I am again back in the audio time machine thanks to the one-man maniac project that is… Continue Reading →

Warhawk – Dambuster (Iron Fist Productions)

If you couldn’t work out who Sweden’s Warhawk sound like in two seconds then why the hell are you listening to metal. Go on try it with one of their tracks on their Bandcamp page or YouTube before continuing to… Continue Reading →

Hellripper – Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags (Peaceville)

Sometimes the problem with reviewing is the sheer volume of new stuff you get to hear which, inevitably, means you end up behind the curve on some things. Hellripper, one man outfit from the Highlands of Scotland, being a perfect… Continue Reading →

Tysondog – Midnight (From the Vaults)

After a 30-year break and resurgence in the live circuit 10-12 years ago, North East England’s NWoBHM legends Tysondog returned with their 2015 ‘Cry Havoc’ album. Fast forward and we have another album in the form of ‘Midnight’. “hoy your… Continue Reading →

Feaces Christ – Gimme Morgue (FDA Records)

The Metal or Punk divide is a great struggle for me, I mean don’t get me wrong it’s not like the two tribes are at war with one another but they seem reluctant to co-exist sometimes. I love classic 70s… Continue Reading →

Midnight – Let There Be Witchery (Metal Blade)

Midnight is the dark offspring of one man – Athenar from Cleveland Ohio.  Over the last 19 years he has been combining speed metal, D-Beat and Black Metal into a hellish hybrid that has kept many a metal head and punk happy. Let There Be Witchery… Continue Reading →

Wolfbastard – Hammer The Bastards (Clobber Records)

Does anyone else class local gigs as a sort of separate entity? Part of the gig goers experience is surely the travel, the train beers, missing the encore because the rail service sucks, you know the usual. Whilst that is… Continue Reading →

Hellsword – Cold Is The Grave (Emanzipation Productions)

I often think that Black Thrash or Metalpunk styles are literally caricatures of the Metal scene. They are exactly what non-Metal fans picture, the spikes, the leather, Satan, fast, sloppy, aggressive and covered in corpsepaint. To be honest this is… Continue Reading →

Hellripper – Affair Of The Poisons (Peaceville)

You could throw a bowling ball into a forest and get a complete strike as it hurtles through the trees knocking one-man black metal outfits over like ten pins. What about those who play thrash though and go it alone?… Continue Reading →

Persekutor – Permanent Winter (Svart)

I’m not as kvlt as I used to be, and frankly I’m pretty alright with that. Music on a personal level is an evolution, sometimes we only care about what is ‘real’ and ‘trve’ and other times we don’t care… Continue Reading →

Solitary Sabred – By Fire and Brimstone (No Remorse Records)

Appearances can be deceiving. Two bands embarking on their third album, released on the same day, on the same label with the same artists artwork, from the same part of Europe…and reviewed at the same time by yours truly –… Continue Reading →

Bütcher – 666 Goats Carry My Chariot (Osmose)

Do we ever stop musically evolving? Yes and no, I think that there are certainly those who stagnate and cease to indulge in anything new in as much as even later albums from the bands they enjoy. Yet to counter… Continue Reading →
