This is the debut album from US sludge metal band Mordeo.
Mordeo is a 41-minute slab of ugly crusty darkness. Fuelled by punk aggression and sludge hatred, this is music that wants to rend and destroy. Mordeo have unleashed a Continue reading “Mordeo – Mordeo (Review)”

This is the fifth album from US death/doom band Temple of Void.
It’s safe to say I’m a fan of Temple of Void. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the band’s albums, (Of Terror and the Supernatural, Lords of Death, The World That Was, and Summoning the Slayer), bought the t-shirt, and one day hope to catch them live. 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.

Dwellnought play hideous, lightless doom that’s soaked in black metal’s corrosive acids. Monolith of Ephemerality is a 47-minute nightmare, one that drowns the listener in Continue reading “Dwellnought – Monolith of Ephemerality (Review)”
This is the third album from Ingrina, a post-metal band from France.
So what do we have here then – a band who are described as a mix of post-metal and post-hardcore? One who are compared to Cult of Luna, Russian Circles and Year of No Light? With some striking album art to boot? Yep, it was impossible for me to resist sampling Ingrina’s wares. Continue reading “Ingrina – Nåværende Lys (Review)”
