This is the debut EP from UK stoner rock band Ghozer.
Here we have 21 minutes of enjoyable stoner fuzz. It’s charismatic and direct, while still boasting a decent amount of depth and atmosphere. Continue reading “Ghozer – Ghozer (Review)”
Un – Sentiment (Review)
Un are a doom band from the US. This is their second album.
This is the much-awaited follow up to 2015’s colossal The Tomb of All Things, which made it into my end of year list – in second place too, no less. Continue reading “Un – Sentiment (Review)”
Promethean Misery – Tied up with Strings (Review)
This is the second album from Promethean Misery, an Australian solo doom act.
After producing a very accomplished debut album in 2017 called Ghosts, the talented one woman band Promethean Misery has now returned with a sprawling, epic album. Oh yes, this one’s quite the monster. Continue reading “Promethean Misery – Tied up with Strings (Review)”
Interview with Anaal Nathrakh
A New Kind of Horror is rapidly becoming one of my most-played Anaal Nathrakh albums, and that’s with some stiff competition to go up against from the rest of their impressive discography. In my humble opinion the band’s latest album is definitely one of their best.
Dave Hunt, the band’s impressively intense vocalist, was kind enough to answer some of my questions… Continue reading “Interview with Anaal Nathrakh”
Dödsrit – Spirit Crusher (Review)
This is the second album from one man black metal band Dödsrit.
Here we have 44 minutes of expansive atmospheric black metal with elements of crust. Such a simple description, but one that hides the dark splendour of what you’ll find on this release. Continue reading “Dödsrit – Spirit Crusher (Review)”
Revocation – The Outer Ones (Review)
This is the seventh album from Revocation, a US death metal band.
Following up 2016’s enjoyable Great Is Our Sin, this is Revocation’s darkest and most aggressive work so far. Over their existence the band have managed to balance their death and thrash metal influences in an effective ratio, with Continue reading “Revocation – The Outer Ones (Review)”

Ever since their early days Anaal Nathrakh have carved out a unique identity for themselves in the extreme metal landscape. Albums like Desideratum and The Whole of the Law both showcased well the Continue reading “Anaal Nathrakh – A New Kind of Horror (Review)”
Skullcave – Fear (Review)
Skullcave are a progressive doom band from Australia and this is their debut album.
I was drawn to this album by the enigmatic album cover, and then reeled in by the description of the music – “an ambitious, qualitative blend of thick doom, dreamy instrumentals and layered vocals.” Continue reading “Skullcave – Fear (Review)”
Aborted – Terrorvision (Review)
Aborted are a death metal band from Belgium and this is their tenth album.
Aborted are one of my favourite death metal bands. Their combination of utter brutality, sickeningly groovy riffs, very charismatic vocals, and memorable songwriting has taken them far and wide over the years. Although some of their output has varied in quality, they always deliver the goods in one way or another. Continue reading “Aborted – Terrorvision (Review)”
Paths – In Lands Thought Lost (Review)
This is the third album from Paths, a Canadian black metal band.
Paths is a one man project aided by a session drummer, (from Panopticon). Together they play Scandinavian-influenced atmospheric black metal. For fans of this kind of thing, I have to say that In Lands Thought Lost is definitely above the average, and should be sought out at the earliest opportunity.
