Mammoth Grinder are a death metal band from the US and this is their latest EP.
It has been a long six years since 2018’s Cosmic Crypt, but Mammoth Grinder have once again dragged themselves out from their tombs and are ready to lay waste once more.

This is the latest EP from Beyond Grace, a death metal band from the UK.
Beyond Grace are top tier band that shockingly few people seem to be aware of. All of their discography, (Monstrous, Seekers, Our Kingdom Undone, and Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 1), is worth spending time with, so it’s with high expectations that we turn to Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 2. Continue reading “Beyond Grace – Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 2 (Review)”
Now this was a show I knew I couldn’t miss out on. All three bands are great, and any one of them I’d have come to see. All three together? Unmissable. Continue reading “Winterfylleth/Wormwitch/Bizarrekult – Rebellion, Manchester – 10/11/24 (Live Review)”
Still are a post-black metal band from the UK and this is their second album.
Still boast a fierce, ugly sound that’s equal parts black metal, sludge, and hardcore, resulting in a post-blackened 35-minute burst of punishment that’s damaging, yet moreish. The more Still scar and brutalise you, the more you want more. Continue reading “Still – A Theft (Review)”
Sergeant Thunderhoof are a stoner rock band from the UK and this is their fifth album.
2022’s This Sceptred Isle made a big impression on me, even breaching my end of year list, so The Ghost of Badon Hill is one I’ve been looking forward to. With much expectation riding on it, I’m immensely pleased to report that it has not disappointed at all. Continue reading “Sergeant Thunderhoof – The Ghost of Badon Hill (Review)”
This is the second album from French black metal solo act Time Lurker.
It has been a long time since Time Lurker’s 2017 self-titled debut, but now we have 34 minutes of new material in the form of Empise. The artist behind Time Lurker is joined on this new album by a vocalist who howls her way through the songs with impassioned intensity. Continue reading “Time Lurker – Emprise (Review)”

This is the tenth album from French doom band Monolithe.
Following on from 2022’s Kosmodrom, Monolithe return, with 55 minutes of new material in the brooding shape of Black Hole District. Monolithe have a strong track record, and their latest release is a continuation of their high quality output. Continue reading “Monolithe – Black Hole District (Review)”
Veilburner are a black/death metal band from the US and this is their seventh album.
A new Veilburner album is always an exciting prospect. I’ve been a fan since 2016’s The Obscene Rite, but it was 2022’s VLBRNR that really saw them reach their true potential in my eyes. Now we have The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom‘s 49 minutes upon us, and I’m ready to fall into Veilburner’s well-realised world once more. And, this time, it’s stranger than ever.
