The Night Flight Orchestra are a Swedish hard rock band and this is their fourth album.

By all rights I shouldn’t like this kind of thing, as it’s not the sort of music I tend to listen to very often, if at all, but something about the execution of this band’s tunes really grabs me hard.

Dvne are a progressive metal/doom/sludge band from the UK and this is their debut album.

Despite how that description probably sounds to some people, it was a recipe I quite enjoyed, so I’m now pleased to give the band’s latest effort a good listen.

Runespell is a one man black metal band from Australia, and this is his second album.
I enjoyed 2017’s Unhallowed Blood Oath, which gave us seven tracks of utterly authentic 90s second wave black metal. Well, it’s now 2018, and we have yet another seven tracks to consume. Continue reading “Runespell – Order of Vengeance (Review)”

Immortal are pretty legendary by now, and as this album is their first since 2009’s All Shall Fall, it has a lot of expectations riding on it. Continue reading “Immortal – Northern Chaos Gods (Review)”

Here we have 55 minutes of expressive, expansive Cascadian atmospheric black metal. Well, this is something quite special.
