Voidhanger – Dark Days of the Soul (Review)
Voidhanger are a blackened death/thrash band from Poland, and this is their third album.
It seems like a long time ago since the release of Voidhanger’s exemplary second album Working Class Misanthropy – and it has been. This album was notable for me due to its high quality levels; this style of Continue reading “Voidhanger – Dark Days of the Soul (Review)”
Sixes – Methistopheles (Review)
Sixes are a doom/sludge band from the US and this is their debut album.
You know that you can never, ever have enough filthy, ugly doom, right? I mean, it’s just not possible.
Enter Sixes.
Methistopheles is a colossal 62 minutes of feedback, Earth-shaking distortion, apocalyptic melodies, and throat-destroying vocals. And boy does it grab you and not let go until the bitter end. Continue reading “Sixes – Methistopheles (Review)”
Spawned from Hate – Promo 2018 (Review)
Spawned from Hate are a UK death metal band and this is their latest release.
I enjoyed Spawned from Hate’s 2015 EP Accelerated Butchery, so it’s good to hear something new from them. This is a short release, containing only two tracks and lasting less than six minutes. Continue reading “Spawned from Hate – Promo 2018 (Review)”

Neter are a Spanish death metal band and this is their third album.
I have fond memories of 2015’s Idols, so it’s good to see the band return with some new material. I very much like the striking album art for this release too. Continue reading “Neter – Inferus (Review)”

Entropy Created Consciousness – Impressions of the Morning Star (Review)
Entropy Created Consciousness is a one man black metal band and this is his debut album.
This is obscure, underground black metal of the rarest variety. Individual and self-styled, it’s like Impressions of the Morning Star has been formed in a void of its own making, keeping itself apart from anything ostensibly similar to ensure its own dark purity. Continue reading “Entropy Created Consciousness – Impressions of the Morning Star (Review)”
Keiji Haino & SUMAC – American Dollar Bill – Keep Facing Sideways, You’re Too Hideous to Look at Face On (Review)
This is a collaboration between Japanese multi-instrumentalist Keiji Haino and US post-metal band SUMAC.
SUMAC feature an impressive calibre of members, (Isis, Baptists, Russian Circles), so it’s a real shame I’ve never encountered any of their work previous to this. Keiji Haino I’m even more unfamiliar with, but it seems he has built up a significant body of work and collaborative projects over time. Continue reading “Keiji Haino & SUMAC – American Dollar Bill – Keep Facing Sideways, You’re Too Hideous to Look at Face On (Review)”
