Witch Vomit – Poisoned Blood (Review)
Witch Vomit are a US death metal band and this is their latest EP.

Temple of Void – Lords of Death (Review)
Temple of Void are a death/doom band from the US and this is their second album.
Now here’s one I’ve been really looking forward to. Of Terror and the Supernatural was one of my absolute favourite releases of 2014, and it seems like it has been a very long wait for this new one. Continue reading “Temple of Void – Lords of Death (Review)”
Wingless – The Blaze Within (Review)
Wingless are a Polish metal band and this is their second album.
So strongly do I associate Poland with death metal, than upon seeing the album cover of The Blaze Within I immediately jumped to that conclusion with Wingless. Well, you know what they say about books and their covers… Continue reading “Wingless – The Blaze Within (Review)”
Goatwhore – Vengeful Ascension (Review)
Goatwhore are a black/death metal band from the US and this is their seventh album.

Extinguish the Sun – Antihero (Review)
Extinguish the Sun are an alternative metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Extinguish the Sun describe their music with reference to bands such as Mastodon, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, and Every Time I Die, and I have to say that sets the scene for their music pretty well. Continue reading “Extinguish the Sun – Antihero (Review)”
Cursed Sun – The Amygdala (Review)
This is the latest EP from UK metal band Cursed Sun.
Cursed Sun combine thrash metal with Southern sludge, a bit of melodic death metal, and some NWOAHM. As we’ll see, there’s more to this band than just this though, and in many ways Cursed Sun channel some quite old-school aspects in their sound. Continue reading “Cursed Sun – The Amygdala (Review)”
Feral/Debutante – Split (Review)
Feral are a drone/noise/post-rock band from the UK and Debutante is a one-man electro-rock/drone artist from Switzerland.
