This is the second album from UK progressive/power metal band All Seeing Eyes.
Following on from 2014’s Trinity Road and 2021’s Reinventing Time comes the new record from All Seeing Eyes – We Are the Revolution. It’s a 49-minute feast of progressive power metal from this very enjoyable band, so get ready to gorge yourself silly on their luscious flavours. Continue reading “All Seeing Eyes – We Are the Revolution (Review)”
This is the second album from US death metallers Voidceremony.
Following on 2023’s enjoyable Threads of Unknowing, Abditum contains 30 minutes of complex technical death metal wizardry. As much as I liked that last record, this new one is a step up for Voidceremony. Continue reading “Voidceremony – Abditum (Review)”
Old Night are a Croatian doom metal band and this is their fourth album.
2017’s Pale Cold Irrelevance and 2019’s A Fracture in the Human Soul were both great records, so I was pleased and surprised when Mediterranean Melancholy appeared out of the blue. I was even more surprised to find out that Old Night released another album – Ghost Light – in 2022 that had completely escaped my attention. Boo! Anyway, let’s now turn our attention to the 44 minutes of new material on Mediterranean Melancholy. Continue reading “Old Night – Mediterranean Melancholy (Review)”
This is the second album from UK post-rock band Civil Service.
Civil Service offer up 46 minutes of post-rock on Dark ///. It’s an engaging and feeling-rich form of the style that Civil Service have prepared for us, and I very much like what I’ve heard on this record. Continue reading “Civil Service – Dark /// (Review)”
Depravity are an Australian death metal band and this is their third album.
It’s been a while since 2018’s Evil Upheaval and 2020’s Grand Malevolence, but both records made their mark. Well, 2025 marks the return of the mighty Depravity, so can Bestial Possession clear the high bar set by its two predecessors? Continue reading “Depravity – Bestial Possession (Review)”
1914 are a Ukrainian blackened death/doom band and this is their fourth album.
It’s great to have a new album from this well-regarded band, (check out some of their past work here, here, and here). Containing 57 minutes of new material, Veribus Unitis is 1914’s most absorbing work yet. Continue reading “1914 – Viribus Unitis (Review)”
The Hyena Kill are an alternative rock band from the UK and this is their second album.
I really liked 2021’s A Disconnect, so was pleased to see Collapse appear. The Hyena Kill have produced another 55 minutes of music for me to salivate over, and salivate I do, as this is very tasty stuff. Continue reading “The Hyena Kill – Collapse (Review)”
This is the fourth album from US solo black metal band Lamp of Murmuur.
The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy is the follow up to 2023’s well-received Saturnian Bloodstorm. The latter was a record that only improved over time, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing songs from it, (and other releases), performed live when I saw Lamp of Murmuur at 2024’s Fortress Festival. All of this is to say, I’ve been looking forward to this new record. Continue reading “Lamp of Murmuur – The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy (Review)”
This is the debut album from UK solo grindcore band Chairmaker.
When an album is recommended for fans of Pig Destroyer and Agoraphobic Nosebleed, I have to at least spare it more than a cursory glance. What I discovered when I did was an utterly brutal 14-minute grindcore explosion. Yep, that’s me sold. Continue reading “Chairmaker – Leviathan Carcass (Review)”
Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin are both artists from the US, and they have teamed up once more to bring us a new outing of mournful doom.
2020’s Stygian Bough Volume I was one of my favourites from that year, so I was very excited by the appearance of Stygian Bough Volume II. Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin have impressed in the past, but can they do so again? Continue reading “Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Volume II (Review)”
