It’s been six years since we last heard from The Wolves Of Avalon with their ‘Across Corpses Grey’ release of 2016. This comprised of one massive track spanning 30 minutes and a couple of cover versions. We get five numbers… Continue Reading →
You can get a very good idea of a bands work ethic by following them on social media and as far as Norse Pagan blacksters Kampfar are concerned there are not many out there who have a stronger one. Constantly… Continue Reading →
Ah, another ‘band I’ve been aware of but not really engaged with’ time. Fear and Trembling (so says Google) and apparently pagan black metal. My experience of Trollzorn bands is that they dont tend to sign yer actual bestial bm… Continue Reading →
I’ve not given Germany’s Firtan much listening since they formed over a decade ago where they subsequently released a couple of EPs and two full lengths. Their last album ‘Okeanos’ was a fine a release however and catching them in… Continue Reading →
I’ve been lucky enough to review a fair amount of Ereb Altor’s albums over the years – they were actually one of the first bands I reviewed back in 2013 when I’d recently joined the hallowed ranks of Ave Noctum…. Continue Reading →

Árstíðir lífsins is bleakly grandiose pagan metal inspired by skaldic writings of the past. An altogether different league to the hordes of Viking metal bands that have swamped us in the past two or three decades. This is metal as… Continue Reading →
Well I have to say first off that when someone sends a vinyl copy of their debut as a review copy you do kinda sit up and notice, so thanks for that. Good cover too, and well worth the LP… Continue Reading →
If you somehow managed to miss Murg’s frost-bitten and pretty fucking stunning debut, perhaps holed up in your wintery forest domain wearing corpse paint and living only on food you caught and strangled with your bare hands, I can only… Continue Reading →
