This is the third album from Ende, a black metal band from France.
Ende play raw, occult black metal. Having come to my attention with their second album The Rebirth of I, hearing Emën Etan reminds me just how much I enjoyed that release, and I really must listen to it again soon. Continue reading “Ende – Emën Etan (Review)”
This is the second album from Mothersloth, a Spanish stoner/doom metal band.
Has it really been almost three years since Mothersloth’s stellar debut album Moribund Star? Apparently so. Time moves fast, but at least we now have a new release from this talented band. Continue reading “Mothersloth – Moon Omen (Review)”

Cut Up are a death metal band from Sweden and this is their second album.
This is the kind of death metal album that just steamrolls all over you as soon as you press play. It’s a relentlessly savage monster throughout the playing time, showing no let up in its bloody commitment to knock you over and flatten you to a mushy corpse. Continue reading “Cut Up – Wherever They May Rot (Review)”
This is the second album from stoner/sludge band Attalla.
Sometimes you just get a craving for some rocking, riff-focused stoner/sludge metal, and for times like that the new Attalla album Glacial Rule is quite the tonic. Continue reading “Attalla – Glacial Rule (Review)”
Craven Idol are the real deal. Their latest album The Shackles of Mammon is an absolute scorcher. As with the best of releases; the more you listen to it, the better it gets.
As I said in my review of their latest creation – this is old-school quality with new-school fury and bite. It’s partly this combination that gives Craven Idol such a distinct personality, one that definitely sees them stand out from the hordes.
The very amicable Vrath went into detail about what makes the album so special, and what makes the band tick… Continue reading “Interview with Craven Idol”
Buioingola are an atmospheric doom band from Italy and this is their second album.
Il Nuovo Mare is the follow up to the band’s 2013 debut Dopo l’Apnea. This was a release that established Buioingola as a band that were travelling their own way, and a release that firmly stuck in my mind as one of the more memorable ones of that year.

Although the album cover Continue reading “Virulent Depravity – Fruit of the Poisoned Tree (Review)”
Telekinetic Yeti are a US stoner/doom metal band and this is their debut album.
With a heady whiff of stoner, Clutch and Black Sabbath-esque vibes, Telekinetic Yeti deliver over 40 minutes of psychedelic doom rock/metal for the listener’s delectation. Add in some Red Fang and Mastodon and you have a very full album. Continue reading “Telekinetic Yeti – Abominable (Review)”
This is the debut album from Finnish one-man, (rounded out with some session members), death/black metal project Cemetery Winds.
This is a competent and engrossing mix of old-school death and black metal. This sits Continue reading “Cemetery Winds – Unholy Ascensions (Review)”
