When I received this album to review it snowed here in the UK, a fresh blanket of snow coated much of the country. I sat at my desk, hot coffee in hand and pressed play on the first track. The first track played, then the second and I pressed pause. Fate had conspired to provide … Continue reading ALBUM REIVEW: Harakiri For The Sky – Mӕre
Do you remember the days when a one man band was a guy with a big bass drum on his back, cymbals on the inside of his knees, a guitar in his hands and a harmonica mounted on a frame close to his face? To say things have moved on a bit would be a … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Jeff Pennachio – Setting The Stage
The latest album from Paris based Steampunk outfit Victor Sierra is a thundering call to arms for any willing to step aboard their Starship, The Hydrogen Queen, and ride with them into epic glory amidst the great expanse. The band are best known for their eclectic live shows and commitment to the fictional universe in … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Victor Sierra – Imperfect Meridians
Start the new year off with a BANG! The heavy hitting, brilliantly written Duality from Belgian band CELLAR TWINS is a must-hear for fans of AVENGED SEVENFOLD, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and TRIVIUM. Already a contender for my album of year, this really packs a punch! On January 29th 2021, Belgian rockers CELLAR TWINS are … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Cellar Twins – Duality
I’m going to do you a favour reader and skip to the conclusion of this review. Imperial by SOEN is an amazing release. It flows seamlessly from track to track and never quite relinquishes the hold it has over the listener or the groove they find themselves within. The mellower parts don’t just serve to … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Soen – Imperial
One of things I am going to try this year is listen to more new bands and dive into the unknown as I tended to play it safe last year. Well given what went on, sticking to what's familiar seemed like the safe option. RED CAIN seemed like a good place to start this new … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Red Cain – Kindred: Act II
DREAD SOVEREIGN is the side project of Alan Nemtheanga (PRIMORDIAL) where he branches out, picks up a bass and decides to have a go at something a bit different. The band features Con Ri on Drums (CONAN, KRAWWL, MALTHUSIAN) and Bones on guitar (ex-DE NOVISSIMIS). I went into this album expecting something akin to outtakes … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Dread Sovereign – Alchemical Warfare
I always commend bands for releasing brand new material in the month that is usually saturated with WHAM and Mariah Carey. Last year it was TRIBE OF GHOSTS with their debut EP 1, this year it's TAKE BREATH with The Hell In All I Held Too Close. Given the year we have all had to … Continue reading EP REVIEW: Take Breath – The Hell In All I Held Too Close
I love a bit of cosmic horror, I love a bit of black metal, and I have a passing affection for the cosmos. Although Carl Sagan’s Cosmos is eternal and will be cherished until the dying breath of the universe. Lennart Janssen’s project DRUON ANTIGON entitled Desonstijging (English: Dislocation) is an interesting take on how … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Druon Antigon – Desonstijging
It’s not hard to miss that there has been so many adaptions of A Christmas Carol, I don’t personally mind as it’s one of my favourite stories. Alongside The Muppet Christmas Carol and Blackadder Christmas Carol, I now have a new favourite adaption of this Charles Dickens classic to add to my list. It’s not … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Majestica – A Christmas Carol
