This is the fourth album from post-black metal band Nullingroots.
Nullingroots play a form of post-black metal that incorporates the black/shoegaze style with emotive post-rock and a helping of depressive darkness. It’s a compelling recipe for an engaging and affecting album. Continue reading “Nullingroots – Into the Grey (Review)”
Djinn and Miskatonic are an Indian doom metal band and this is their second album.
2013’s Forever in the Realm was a charismatic and flavoured doom metal album that made a firm impression on me. It’s been far too long since we’ve had some more music from this notable band, but they’ve more than made Continue reading “Djinn and Miskatonic – Even Gods Must Die (Review)”

Gürschach are a metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
So what do Gürschach sound like? I suppose if you take a base of classic heavy metal, while mixing in elements of modern, alternative, thrash, and progressive metal, you’ll have a good place to start from. Continue reading “Gürschach – Dark Matter (Review)”
Sorxe are a post-metal/sludge/doom band from the US and this is their second album.
Well, I’ve been hungry for this. 2014’s Surrounded by Shadows is one of my favourite sludge/doom releases, making it high up on my end of year best of list for 2014. Over the years my appreciation for this superlative album has only grown, so has my desire to hear its follow up. Continue reading “Sorxe – Matter & Void (Review)”
