It doesn’t come up often that I get to do a follow up on a band that I’ve reviewed but now fate has gifted me the opportunity and I’m eager to see how they have developed as artists. A lifetime ago in the distant space year of 2019 I reviewed AGABAS’ self titled EP. Whilst … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Agabas – Voluspå
It’s been a few years since I joined a Power and Symphonic Metal Appreciation group on Facebook. It’s been a great way to discover new bands whilst making new friends. One group that often popped up were FROZEN CROWN, I had heard the odd song or two and liked what I heard. I had never … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Frozen Crown – Winterbane
Cambridge Hard Rockers THE TREATMENT have been on my radar for the past ten years, blimey ten years. I was at university when I first listened to them and saw them live. AC/DC meets AEROSMITH were my first thoughts when listening to their debut album This Might Hurt. Fast forward to the present day and … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Treatment – Waiting For Good Luck

I often find myself in a strange place with death metal. I'll happily listen to fusion genres on a regular basis; Death doom, blackened death, death and roll and progressive death metal. But I'll rarely go for the genre itself. There have been bands that have held my fascination before and I'm sure there will … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Cannibal Corpse – Violence Unimagined
When I was offered to review ESCAPE THE FATE’s newest album, I could picture my teenage-self bursting with excitement! The newest record, Chemical Warfare, from Nevada’s post-hardcore outfit is to be released on 16th April. To quote singer Craig Mabbit: ‘We want people to connect deeply with the music and disappear in it. Get lost … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Escape The Fate – Chemical Warfare
I had the pleasure of reviewing Sisyphus by THE MEDEA PROJECT last year. The release was pleasing and yet, at the end of my review I noted that the ”...album isn’t stereotypical doom metal and I think that works in its favour. It doesn’t seem afraid to step out of the bounds of the usual … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Medea Project – Southern Echoes
CAUDA PAVONIS were formed in 1998 and identify themselves as a deathrock band but their style is not just limited to this one definition. The overall theme of their music tends to be a gothic delight but with other inspiration thrown in. I first found this band through the song Carnival Noir, a beautiful gothic … Continue reading BAND PROFILE: Cauda Pavonis
