Album Reviews

  • The Loom of Time – NihilReich

    The Loom of Time are a 3-piece from the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. These blokes play an old school yet eclectic brand of metal. Formed in late 2014, they certainly bring something relatively fresh to the table....

  • Moonsorrow – Jumalten Aika

    I’ve always had a lot of respect for Moonsorrow. Something that I’ve always appreciated about their brand of pagan metal is the way they are able to invoke imagery from times gone past and create the most epic of...

  • Almanac – Tsar

    For anyone who knows me well enough, you’ll no doubt know by now I’m extremely obsessed passionate when it comes to power metal. And when I heard Victor Smolski would be returning to the metal world, I was rather chuffed. Here is...

  • Vipassi – Śūnyatā

    When members of Ne Obliviscaris and Hadal Maw get together, what could really go wrong? Vipassi has been in the works for years now, a decade ago if you start from when guitarist Ben Boyle (Hadal Maw) and Dan...

  • Textures – Phenotype

    I am not quite sure how I have managed to completely miss out on this band up until recently. Textures released their first album in 2003. They first appeared on my radar late last year with the lyric video...
