Hadopelagial are a German black metal band and this is their debut album.

This Gift Is a Curse – A Throne of Ash (Review)
This Gift Is a Curse are a blackened sludge band from Sweden and this is their third album.
Here we have 45 minutes of hateful extremity that combines black metal, sludge, and hardcore. It’s violent, world-ending music that’s wreathed in both aggression and atmosphere most foul. Continue reading
Damnation Festival – Leeds University, 03/11/18 (Live Review)
The UK’s Damnation Festival has once again rolled around, and it’s time for all good music fans to get themselves to Leeds and bask in the amazing lineup that the festival gods always seem to be able to pull together. As you can see from the above poster, this year boasted some great talent.
The running times I’ll post below, so you can get an idea of how the day ran. The festival was once again sold out this year, and really felt it. Continue reading

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
Anaal Nathrakh – A New Kind of Horror (Review)
Anaal Nathrakh are a UK black metal band and this is their tenth album.
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
Second to Sun – The Black (Review)
This is the fourth album from Russian blackened melodic death metal band Second to Sun.
Apparently this is a rerecording of the band’s 2016 release Blackbound, with added vocals, and other differences. I was totally unfamiliar with Second to Sun’s work prior to listening to The Black, so I can’t comment on how this relates to Blackbound, other than to say that it does. Continue reading
Sunlight’s Bane – The Blackest Volume: Like All the Earth Was Buried (Review)
This is the debut album from Sunlight’s Bane, a blackened sludge/grindcore band from the US.
This is nasty, raw and nihilistic music that wants nothing more than to terrify, scar and demoralise the listener. With a mix of Nails, Anaal Nathrakh, Hooded Menace, Aborted, Trap Them, Extreme Noise Terror, Primitive Man, Zao, and many others in their sound, Sunlight’s Bane have concocted an identity that’s very much their own and quite a hard one to accurately classify, if you care about such things. Continue reading
Henry Kane – Den Förstörda Människans Rike (Review)
Henry Kane is a one-man deathgrind/death metal/crust project from Sweden.
This is quite hard to classify, but essentially Den Förstörda Människans Rike is a festering, ugly mix of Swedish death metal, hardcore/crust and Swedish grind.
This is deathgrind of the highest, yet filthiest variety. Think of a mutant mix of Dismember, Nails, Anaal Nathrakh, Nasum and Martyrdöd. Continue reading
Anaal Nathrakh – The Whole of the Law (Review)
Anaal Nathrakh are a UK black metal band and this is their ninth album.
This is the follow up to 2014’s Desideratum. Continuing their slow-burning evolution of merging the underground filthy side of black metal with something altogether more modern and epic in scope, The Whole of the Law is their Continue reading
