Wren – Auburn Rule (Review)
Wren are a UK sludge/post-metal band and this is their debut album.
I’ve enjoyed watching Wren develop across their 2015 split with Irk and then on their 2016 EP Host. Both releases impressed me and marked them out as ones to watch, placing them firmly on my radar. Well, it’s now 2017 and they’ve finally released their debut full length. It has been more than worth the wait. Continue reading “Wren – Auburn Rule (Review)”
Melvins – A Walk with Love and Death (Review)
Melvins are a US sludge/metal/rock/doom band and this is their latest album.
A Walk with Love and Death is an album of two halves. The Death side is a ‘normal’ Melvins album, (whatever that means in the context of their ever-changing style), while the Love side is a film score to a short film that shares the same name as this album. Continue reading “Melvins – A Walk with Love and Death (Review)”
Tarlung – Beyond the Black Pyramid (Review)
Tarlung are an Austrian doom/sludge/stoner band and this is their second album.
This is a powerful mix of stoner, sludge and doom. Lasting over 66 minutes, the band crawl and slither their way through the playing time with gritty heaviness and slothful aggression. Continue reading “Tarlung – Beyond the Black Pyramid (Review)”

Sektarism are a French doom band. This is their second album.
When an album is just three tracks and yet spans over an hour of material, you know you’re in for some properly slow doom dirges. Continue reading “Sektarism – La Mort de l’Infidèle (Review)”
Endname – Triatom (Review)
Endname are a Russian progressive doom band and this is their fourth album.
Triatom is a long, involved, and weighty release that spreads out to cover doom, atmospheric, progressive, sludge, and post-metal territories across its playing time of 72 minutes. Continue reading “Endname – Triatom (Review)”
Descend into Despair – Synaptic Veil (Review)
Descend into Despair are a Romanian funeral doom band and this is their second album.
2014’s colossal The Bearer of All Storms was a huge, monolithic slab of atmospheric funeral death/doom. With over 90 minutes of material, it was a weighty, substantial listen that matched its quantity with an equal amount of quality. Continue reading “Descend into Despair – Synaptic Veil (Review)”
