Mathilde – 32 Décembre (S/R)

This album with outstanding artwork is a “dark space epic of a person escaping into the most distant constellation of their mind with the help of narcotics”. Although this is Mathilde’s first album, the band has been around for eight… Continue Reading →

Messiah – Christus Hypercubus (High Roller)

Following their return in 2020 with the awesome “Fracmont”, this Swiss Death/Thrash band made a big impact after being away so long, bringing out the glory days of their Noise records releases. However, the band return after some line-up changes,… Continue Reading →

Darkspace –II (Season Of Mist)

Blimey, has it really been a whole decade since we last had recorded material from enigmatic Swiss explorers of the cosmos Darkspace? It’s not like the trio comprising of Wroth, Zhaaral and new member Yhs have found themselves stranded on… Continue Reading →

Dyssebeia – Garden Of Stillborn Idols (Transcending Obscurity)

Dyssebeia in Greek Mythology was the spirit and personification of Impiety, the term which defines sacrilege. Notably, it was called upon by the Olympian goddess Hera to punish Heracles when she was rather pissed off at Zeus because he was… Continue Reading →

Impalement – The Dawn Of Blackened Death (S/R)

Although Impalement’s debut ‘The Impalement’ wasn’t spawned until 2020, the origins of the band date back much further to 2010 when Beliath first began composing music. In the following ten years he toured relentlessly with other bands developing his expertise… Continue Reading →

Taubrą – Therizo (Debemur Morti)

This Swiss / Norwegian outfit may well be new with only this album proceeded by a couple of singles but their line-up certainly had me intrigued and wanting to hear more. Set up by guitarist B. (yes one of those… Continue Reading →

Impure Wilhelmina – Dead Decades (Season of Mist)

Here’s your starter for ten: what do Serge Gainsbourg, King Crimson and The Cure have in common? In the immortal words of Jeremy Paxman, come on – we haven’t got all day. No? The answer is that they’re all covered… Continue Reading →

Rorcal – Silence (Hummus Records)

Silence is not what we get from Rorcal, whose world is heaviness, dissonance and industrially haunting soundscapes. 17 years on from forming, this is the Swiss band’s sixth album release. Crumbly destruction stands at the centre of the opener “Early… Continue Reading →

Tar Pond – Petrol (Prophecy Productions)

With a band name and an album title such as the above this was never gonna be light and fluffy or fast and spiky.  The fact that I have drank too much coffee this morning certainly puts me at odds with this dirty… Continue Reading →

Ashtar – Wandering Through Time (Eisenwald)

Back in Switzerland, I should be getting frequent flier points for all the time I am spending there are at the moment. Shame it’s only musically. Here we meet a doomy, blackened sorceress, namely Witch N who is now solely… Continue Reading →

Wyrgher – Panspermic Warlords (I, Voidhanger)

Do Panspermic Warlords disappear in spunk? No that would frankly be silly and Panspermia actually refers to the theory of life being carried through space by the likes of meteors and comets. That goes for nasty things as well such… Continue Reading →

Malphas – Flesh, Blood And Cosmic Storms (Folter Records)

It’s only been just over a year since this black horde dropped second album Divinity’s Fall so it’s still nice and rotting in the memory. That doesn’t stop a highly enjoyable refresher course of it for purposes of compare and… Continue Reading →
