Rorcal – Muladona (Review)
Rorcal are a Swiss blackened post-metal band and this is their fifth album.
Rorcal are an ever-shifting beast, producing a wealth of material over their career spanning doom, drone, post-metal, and black metal. After the furious blackened assault of κρέων (Creon), Muladona is a different proposition. Continue reading
Timeworn – Leave the Soul for Now (Review)
This is the third album from Timeworn, a Norwegian sludge metal band.
This is riff-friendly sludge metal, with both a hardcore influence and an atmospheric one. There’s a mix of the harsh and the beautiful here, which is weighted towards the energetic former, but the latter is still an important part of the band’s sound too. Continue reading

This is the follow up to 2017’s Loathe, featuring 54 minutes of new material. These songs are generally longer and even more rich in substance and delivery than those of the debut, which is no mean feat. It sounds as if a lot of work has gone into The Eternal Dance. Continue reading

Rosk – Remnants (Review)
This is the second album from Polish post-black metallers Rosk.
One of the absolute highlights of 2017 was Rosk’s superb debut album Miasma. It’s now 2019, and I was thrilled to receive Rosk’s latest album Remnants. However, this soon turned to trepidation, as I discovered that Remnants is not another post-black metal masterpiece. Rather, it’s an acoustic post-folk one, and my initial Continue reading
