Regarde les Hommes Tomber – Ascension (Review)
This is the third album from French post-black metallers Regarde les Hommes Tomber.
Regarde les Hommes Tomber play post-black metal that takes a forward-thinking approach to its content. Blending in elements of sludge and minor aspects of death metal, the band’s music is an atmospheric and modern take on blackened art. Continue reading “Regarde les Hommes Tomber – Ascension (Review)”
Today Is the Day – No Good to Anyone (Review)
This is the eleventh album from US unconventional experimental metal band Today Is the Day.
I really, really enjoyed 2014’s Animal Mother, which was one of my favourite releases from this artist. As such, No Good to Anyone was much-anticipated, and had a lot to live up to. Thankfully, it’s one of Today Is the Day’s bests. Continue reading “Today Is the Day – No Good to Anyone (Review)”
Mourir – Animal Bouffe Animal (Review)
This is the debut album from Mourir, a black metal band from France.
The music on Animal Bouffe Animal takes influence from the Scandinavian second wave, but then updates this with modern touches and uncomfortable dissonance, scathing sludge, and harrowing doom. The end result is 34 minutes of atmospheric rawness that combines old and new to produce something hideously enjoyable. Continue reading “Mourir – Animal Bouffe Animal (Review)”

This is the debut album from Kirk Windstein, a metal artist from the US.
So, Kirk Windstein, he of Crowbar fame, owner of one of the most distinctive and recognisable voices in metal, and all-round legend, has a solo album? Well, this qualifies for an must-listen or ten. Continue reading “Kirk Windstein – Dream in Motion (Review)”
Body Void/Keeper – Split (Review)
Body Void and Keeper are both US doom/sludge bands, and they have teamed up to deliver this split.
Both Body Void, (I Live Inside a Burning House/You Will Know the Fear You Forced upon Us), and Keeper, (Split with Sea Bastard/The Space Between Your Teeth/Split with Old Witch), have Continue reading “Body Void/Keeper – Split (Review)”
Megalith Levitation – Acid Doom Rites (Review)
This is the debut album from Megalith Levitation, a Russian stoner/doom band.
There’s only four songs on this album, but with a total duration of 77 minutes, Acid Doom Rites is a whopper. Continue reading “Megalith Levitation – Acid Doom Rites (Review)”
Estuarine – Wisdom of Silenus (Review)
This is the latest EP from Estuarine, a one-man death metal band.
I greatly enjoyed both Lucid/Entheogen and Sic Erat Scriptum, so a new EP’s worth of material is most welcome. Continue reading “Estuarine – Wisdom of Silenus (Review)”
