This is the debut album from UK doom metallers Godthrymm.
Featuring ex-members of bands such as Anathema, My Dying Bride, Solstice, and Vallenfyre, there’s a wealth of experience underpinning this release, and it’s used well. Continue reading “Godthrymm – Reflections (Review)”
This is the second album from Promethean Misery, an Australian solo doom act.
After producing a very accomplished debut album in 2017 called Ghosts, the talented one woman band Promethean Misery has now returned with a sprawling, epic album. Oh yes, this one’s quite the monster. Continue reading “Promethean Misery – Tied up with Strings (Review)”
Incorporea are a Spanish black metal band and this is their debut EP.
Here we have a darkly atmospheric 12 minutes of music. The two songs on this EP are very enjoyable examples of what Incorporea are capable of. Full of bleak, depressive atmosphere layered with cold aggression, this brief foray into the land of Incorporea is definitely worth the trip. Continue reading “Incorporea – To Exorcize the Sun (Review)”
Apostle of Solitude are a US doom metal band and this is their fourth album.
So, the mighty Apostle of Solitude return! It’s been a long time since 2014’s Of Woe and Wounds, which I rated on my 2014 end of year best of list. Continue reading “Apostle of Solitude – From Gold to Ash (Review)”
This is the fifth album from Finnish death/doom band Hooded Menace.
Whenever I have a craving for death/doom, Hooded Menace can always be relied upon to satisfy it. 2015’s Darkness Drips Forth was a very enjoyable trip into Hooded Menace’s dark world, and now it’s time to revisit it as they unleash 42 minutes of new material. Continue reading “Hooded Menace – Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed (Review)”
Apotelesma are a doom metal band from the Netherlands and this is their debut album.

This is the fourth album from UK doom metal band Alunah.
An obvious focal point for anyone listening to Alunah is the incredibly impressive singing voice of their vocalist. She has the kind of voice that can soar ethereally, while also providing softer, more intimate vocals when Continue reading “Alunah – Solennial (Review)”
Temple of Void are a death/doom band from the US and this is their second album.
Now here’s one I’ve been really looking forward to. Of Terror and the Supernatural was one of my absolute favourite releases of 2014, and it seems like it has been a very long wait for this new one. Continue reading “Temple of Void – Lords of Death (Review)”
This is the debut album from Ukrainian blackened death/doom band 1914.
I really enjoyed this band’s 2016 split with Minenwerfer, so thought it was time to catch up with their 2015 full-length album Eschatology of War.
With a World War I theme, Eschatology of War is a heavy, martial beast that relentlessly marches forwards overcoming all opposition with strength of numbers and a formidable will. Continue reading “1914 – Eschatology of War (Review)”
This is the third album from Soulburn, a predominantly black metal band from the Netherlands.
Featuring ex-members of Asphyx, this is a solid slab of prime-time metal that effectively mixes black and death metal, (with some doom), into a tasty 47 minutes. Continue reading “Soulburn – Earthless Pagan Spirit (Review)”
