Mord’A’Stigmata are a black metal band from Poland and this is their fourth album.
2013’s Ansia made a very good impression with its expansive take on the genre, while also incorporating post-metal and doom elements into its sound. Continue reading “Mord’A’Stigmata – Hope (Review)”
This is the latest EP from UK death metallers Vacivus.
Featuring just two songs and lasting under 13 minutes, Vacivus use the time wisely to show off their dark brand of blackened death metal.
Rising up from the underground like some forgotten demigod of war and malevolent slaughter, the music of Vacivus is shrouded in a filthy blackened aura that coats the music like a Continue reading “Vacivus – Nuclear Chaos (Review)”

Cioran are an Italian blackened punk band. This is their latest release.
Chaos. Ugly, blackened chaos. Underground hardcore punk with more anger and bile than you can shake a stick at. Yes, this is what you should expect from the 25 minutes of mayhem on Bestiale Battito Divino. Continue reading “Cioran – Bestiale Battito Divino (Review)”
Tenebrositas is a one-man black metal project from Croatia. This is his latest demo.
I really liked 2015’s Forever Nothing, which was a raw 34 minutes of Norwegian black metal worship that really hit the spot for me. Continue reading “Tenebrositas – Alone in the Frozen Wastelands (Review)”
The Great Old Ones are a black metal band from France and this is their third album.
Boasting a larger and more comprehensive production than ever before on their latest release, The Great Old Ones sound as great as their name implies. Bold, grand and aggressively majestic, EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy is an album to explore and be afraid of, for the dark delights it contains are not for unwary travellers. Continue reading “The Great Old Ones – EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy (Review)”

Featuring the same amount Continue reading “Saille – Gnosis (Review)”

Invasion are a death metal band from the US. This is their fourth album.
War metal. What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing. (Say it again).
WAR!
BOOM!
Yes, that’s the level of my humour today I’m afraid… Continue reading “Invasion – Destroyer of Mankind (Review)”
This is The Ritual Aura’s second album. They are an Australian technical death metal band.
Well, hold on to your hat, because you won’t be expecting this.
The Ritual Aura’s 2015 debut album Laniakea was a favourite of mine. At only 26 minutes in length it was a supremely enjoyable blast of cutting-edge death metal. Tæther is, to say the least, a lot more ambitious, lasting over 70 minutes in length. In many ways this seems like a different band altogether. Continue reading “The Ritual Aura – Tæther (Review)”
