Cult of Occult are a French doom band and this is their fifth album.
It’s great to have towering Cult of Occult back. The last time they graced us with their malignant presence was on 2021’s Ruin, but now we have a brand new full album. I Have No Name contains 70 minutes of doomsludge horror. My, what a Continue reading “Cult of Occult – I Have No Name (Review)”

Until then, we have a brand spanking new record to eagerly devour – The Crawl, which Continue reading “Temple of Void – The Crawl (Review)”

2023’s A Lump of Death: A Chaos of Dead Lovers was as a surprise hit in this household, so seeing Héréditaire appear on the mighty Season of Mist label was most welcome.
