Attan are from Norway and play Hardcore/Post-Hardcore. This is their debut album.
To say that there has been a weight of expectation riding on this is an understatement, for me at least. Why? Because I absolutely love Attan’s 2015 debut EP From Nothing. After then seeing the band live at the following year’s Damnation Festival, and even Continue reading “Attan – End of (Review)”
This is a split between two US doom metal bands – Primitive Man and Unearthly Trance.
After an initial 60 seconds of savage noise, which is apparently a collaborative effort between both bands, we get two ugly, nasty pieces of venom from Primitive Man lasting 20 minutes in total. Continue reading “Primitive Man/Unearthly Trance – Split (Review)”
Let’s cast our eyes over some of my favourite metal releases from August 2018… Continue reading “Monthly Overview – the Best of August 2018”
Thou are a sludge/doom band from the US and this is their fifth album.
Thou are a very prolific band. They have released enough material on splits, EPs, etc. to probably equate to more material again than can be found on their actual albums. This in no way lessens the impact of when they do release a full length album, however. Continue reading “Thou – Magus (Review)”
This is the third album from Mantar, a German black metal band.
I’m a latecomer to Mantar’s work, but I can tell you that if you’re looking for filthy, ugly blackened metallic punk that’s still catchy as fuck, then they stand head and shoulders above most of their peers. Continue reading “Mantar – The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze (Review)”
Sulaco are a grind band from the US and this is their third album.
It’s been seven years since 2011’s Build & Burn, and it’s about time for something new from this band. Continue reading “Sulaco – The Prize (Review)”
Gloam and Obscure Evil are both black metal bands. The former are from the US and the latter are from Peru.
I was first introduced to Gloam on 2017’s Death Is the Beginning, which ably showcased their doom-infected brand of grimly majestic black metal. Continue reading “Gloam/Obscure Evil – Split (Review)”
Forming the Void are a progressive stoner/sludge doom band from the US. This is their fourth album.
After enjoying Forming the Void’s split with Pyreship, I was eager to hear more from the band. Thankfully, that desire has been catered to in the form of Rift; 46 minutes of new material for me to wrap my ears around. Continue reading “Forming the Void – Rift (Review)”
This is the third album from Nightgrave, a one man atmospheric black metal band.
Not content with releasing the extremely competent Nascent earlier this year, it seems that the prolific Nightgrave has already released a new album in the shape of Black Earth. Continue reading “Nightgrave – Black Earth (Review)”
