Interview with Moments

Belgian hardcore bruisers Moments are soon to release their latest EP Outlast. If you haven’t heard the band before, then now is a great time to get acquainted with their emotive brand of melodic heaviness.

With a passion and an energy that can’t be denied, Outlast is the kind of short, kick-ass release that you just want more of. Denied, all you can do is play it again and lap up the extremely moreish modern music that they make. The band know how to write a good tune.

Want to know more? You’ve come to the right place. Read on… Continue reading “Interview with Moments”

From Eden to Exile – Modern Disdain (Review)

From Eden to Exile are a metal band from the UK and this is their debut album.

Now this I like. Playing modern, crushing, heavily aggressive metal with plenty of bite and attitude, From Eden to Exile impress as soon as you press play. Continue reading “From Eden to Exile – Modern Disdain (Review)”

Green Yeti – Desert Show (Review)

Green Yeti are a Greek psychedelic doom metal band and this is their second album.

It seems like only yesterday that Green Yeti hit the scene with a massive crash with The Yeti Has Landed, but now they’re already back with more killer tunes to wow and entertain us. Continue reading “Green Yeti – Desert Show (Review)”

The Voynich Code – Aqua Vitae (Review)

The Voynich Code are a Portugese modern death metal/deathcore band and this is their debut album.

Okay, so if you’re a fan of Whitechapel, Thy Art is Murder, Fit for an Autopsy, Aversions Crown, etc. then you should definitely give this a spin. Continue reading “The Voynich Code – Aqua Vitae (Review)”

The Noctambulant – Advocatus Diaboli (Review)

The Noctambulant are a melodic black metal band form the US and this is their debut album.

Combining elements of the US and Swedish styles of fast, melodic black metal, Advocatus Diaboli is 46 minutes of scything, blistering music that quickly unfolds with attitude and its own dark light. Continue reading “The Noctambulant – Advocatus Diaboli (Review)”

Unaussprechlichen Kulten – Keziah Lilith Medea (Chapter X) (Review)

Unaussprechlichen Kulten are a death metal band from Chile and this is their fourth album.

This is dark, Lovecraft-inspired death metal from a band we’ve met before with 2014’s wickedly enjoyable Baphomet Pan Shub-Niggurath.

I was wondering how they could top such a monstrosity of an album, but it seems that they have managed to do this with ease. Continue reading “Unaussprechlichen Kulten – Keziah Lilith Medea (Chapter X) (Review)”

Avatarium – Hurricanes and Halos (Review)

Avatarium are a doom rock band from Sweden and this is their third album.

Featuring current and ex members of bands such as Candlemass, The Doomsday Kingdom, Jupiter Society, Tiamat, and Evergrey, you know a lot of experience and talent is going to be present on this album before you even listen to it. Continue reading “Avatarium – Hurricanes and Halos (Review)”

The Night Flight Orchestra – Amber Galactic (Review)

The Night Flight Orchestra are a Swedish hard rock band and this is their third album.

Featuring members of Soilwork, Arch Enemy, and Witchery, (among many others), this is something of a different beast from these other bands, and presents us with 50 minutes of classic rock with some progressive overtones. Continue reading “The Night Flight Orchestra – Amber Galactic (Review)”

Folie a Deux – Misanthropic Slaughter Cult (Review)

Folie a Deux are a black metal band from Sweden and this is their debut album.

This is underground and nasty. The band’s style is somewhere between black and death metal, taking elements of both and barking rough growling shouts over the top of everything. Continue reading “Folie a Deux – Misanthropic Slaughter Cult (Review)”
