Khanate – To Be Cruel (Sacred Bones)

When this dropped…or more accurately seeped through the bricks like mould… I felt like the Paul Spericki character in Grosse Point Blank, slamming the steering wheel in his car and exclaiming to Martin Blank “Fourteen years man! Fourteen Years!!!!” So… Continue Reading →

The Lord – Forest Nocturnes (Southern Lord)

So many seem to be getting the horror bug at the moment and either realising their own versions of film themes or interpreting soundtracks to their own definitions. Some of these are inventive, some are unique and others are no… Continue Reading →

Neptunian Maximalism – Solar Drone Ceremony (I, Voidhanger)

Weird music kind of makes me sad now because literally nothing shocks or surprises me. I mean just this past week I discovered Hammer Of Dawn a Death Metal supergroup inspired by the Gears Of War universe. Now you might… Continue Reading →

Urfaust – Teufelsgeist (Ván Records)

Not to be mistaken with their first release, ‘Geist ist Teufel’ (spirit is devil), ‘Teufelsgeist’ (devil’s spirit) is the sixth full length from Dutch duo, Urfaust. In true pretentious black metal nature, to fully appreciate this album, it has of… Continue Reading →

Ævangelist – Nightmarecatcher (Hell’s Headbangers)

If you’ve missed out on all the drama that has been plaguing Ævangelist, it follows pretty much the same pattern as Batushka – band splits, both parties claim to be the original, blah, blah, blah, no one really cares. On… Continue Reading →

Paolo Spaccamonti – Volume Quattro (Escape from Today)

The sleeve’s artwork tells us everything we need to know here. Paolo Spaccamonti is known as a film score composer and avant-garde musician, so I was on alert for something artistic, different and creative. The eleven pieces take us to… Continue Reading →

Earth – Full Upon Her Burning Lips (Sargent House)

With a career that spans almost thirty years, nine full length albums under their belt and a claim to have been the main creative influence behind Sunn O))), Earth are pretty much a household name for those with even the… Continue Reading →

Sunn O))) – Life Metal (Southern Lord)

Sonic titans Sunn O))) return with their ninth full length album (the first of two due to be released this year) and the first album they’ve produced with Anderson and O’Malley as sole composers since the release of 2015’s ‘Kannon’… Continue Reading →

Sinsaenum – Repulsion for Humanity (earMUSIC)

Sinsaenum is the brain child of Dragonforce bassist, Frederic Leclercq, who back in 2010 formulated some ideas to create a death metal beast. These ideas weren’t cemented into the metal worlds foundations until 2016, when Stephane Buriez, of Loudblast, and… Continue Reading →

Boris – Dear (Sargent House)

With a discography that spans 87 releases across 25 years, Japan’s Boris are currently one of the most prolific hard working bands within noise rock, reaching an international audience and standing alongside underground heavyweights such as Sunn O))) and Earth…. Continue Reading →

Gravetemple – Impassable Fears (Svart)

Comprised of three members of Sunn O))) (Attila Csihar, Stephen O’Malley and Oren Ambarchi), you’d be forgiven for thinking that Gravetemple are just a vanity project, however, while their sound may borrow elements from the aforementioned, this particular band are… Continue Reading →

T.O.M.B. – Fury Nocturnus (Peaceville)

‘Industrial Black Noise’ it says here and in that, I think it’s fair to say that ‘Fury Nocturnus’ delivers. Across fourteen tracks, this US-based trio clearly do their utmost to convey an ambience of impenetrable churning malice – of demented… Continue Reading →
