Wilt are a Canadian black metal band and this is their third album.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Wilt’s past material, (and bought the T-shirt too), so to say that I have been looking forward to Huginn is an understatement. Both 2015’s Moving Monoliths and 2018’s Ruin are exemplars of atmospheric black metal, and the new release Huginn is no exception. Continue reading “Wilt – Huginn (Review)”
Gravefields are an international death metal band and this is their third album, (second with this name).
I really enjoyed 2019’s Embrace the Void, so was pleased to see Tetragrammaton appear. Containing 49 minutes of new extreme metal material, this is a record that many a fan of death/black metal would do well to pay attention to. Continue reading “Gravefields – Tetragrammaton (Review)”

If you’re unfamiliar with None, where have you been?

Continue reading “None – Inevitable (Review)”
This is the latest release from Miserable Failure, (or MSRBLFLR), a French death metal/grindcore band.
Miserable Failure have surfaced once more to bring us more multifaceted mayhem with this single-track EP. Toska is a 25-minute descent into chaos, and it’s great to experience Miserable Failure’s dark, warped reality once more. Continue reading “Miserable Failure – тоска́ (Review)”
Avulsed are a death metal band from Spain. This is their latest EP.
Has it really been so long since Night of the Living Deathgenerations, and even longer since we had any new material from the mighty Avulsed, with 2016’s Altar of Disembowelment? Well, it’s great to have some new Avulsed once more. Continue reading “Avulsed – Extraterrestrial Carnage (Review)”
This is the fourth album from Canadian progressive metal/rock band Dead Quiet.
Dead Quiet have an expressive and individual sound that sits somewhere between metal and rock. Combining stoner, heavy, and progressive influences into well-written songs with no small amount of charisma and personality, IV is 45 minutes very well-spent. Continue reading “Dead Quiet – IV (Review)”
This is the debut album from US black metal band Another Black Autumn.
Containing members of Canis Dirus and Crown of Asteria, Another Black Autumn play atmospheric black metal. Across 31 minutes the band demonstrate a keen ability at producing black metal that doesn’t always do what you expect it to do. Continue reading “Another Black Autumn – Resplendent Apparitions at the Dawn (Review)”
This is the fourth album from US hard rock band Royal Thunder.
Rebuilding the Mountain contains 42 minutes of professionally crafted rock music. Taking influence from a range of places, this is music that’s expressive, hook-filled, and underpinned by a depth of content. Continue reading “Royal Thunder – Rebuilding the Mountain (Review)”
This is the debut album from US metal band Caustic Echoes.
The Passing of Moonlight contains 50 minutes of well-written melodic metal. The style is one that combines elements of old and new, from 90s nu-metal and heavy metal, and 00s European metal and metalcore, to more contemporary influences. Continue reading “Caustic Echoes – The Passing of Moonlight (Review)”
Inhuman Depravation is a one-man death metal band from Spain and this is his third album.
With a brutal concept, brutal artwork, a brutal logo, and a brutal sound, this is definitely brutal death metal. Across 31 minutes the artist behind Inhuman Deprivation brutalises the listener with post-apocalyptic brutality in ugly death metal form. Continue reading “Inhuman Depravation – Servants of Supremacy (Review)”
