Album Reviews

  • Espionage – Digital Dystopia

    There has been one debut album that I have been long anticipating, and that is this one! Espionage burst onto the scene in 2015 with their self-titled EP before following up with an excellent second EP, Wings of Thunder,...

  • The Walking Dead Orchestra – Resurrect

    These days, when I see a band that is French, my interest is instantly piqued. And I am rarely disappointed. So when I see the words ‘French tech death’, the urge to review is overwhelming. And, surprise surprise, I...

  • Artemis Blade – As Above…So Below

    Ritualistic drums and ceremonious hymns open strongly with ominous keys. Vocals hit on the second track, brutal death screams contrasting against the singing guitars. Clean vocals come in, not unpleasantly, creating a dramatic, moving edge with music softening before...

  • The Sword – Used Future

    When we think of the pioneers of heavy metal/rock and roll so many different bands come to mind, from the dark evil sounds of Black Sabbath to the psychedelic storytelling Pink Floyd and finishing with the once thrash outfit...

  • Dimmu Borgir – Eonian

    My favourite extreme/black metal release of all time, of any description, is Dimmu Borgir’s Death Cult Armageddon. The sheer monumental majesty of that record cannot be touched, in this humble writer’s opinion. So it’s difficult to be unaffected by...

  • Earthless – Black Heaven

    Time to crank the Himalayan Rock Salt lamps, enjoy a smooth American IPA and make yourself comfortable in your beanbag because Earthless have just released their new album, “Black Heaven.” Those familiar with the band will know to expect...
