Album Reviews

Japanese grave robbbers Coffins bring the doom once more on a long overdue new full-length ‘Beyond the Circular Demise’.

On their way to the Carpathians Italian master of the macabre Abhor and Abysmal Grief stopped for a curious split out now via Iron Bonehead.

This is a really cool heavy metal/ rock ‘n roll album by Gygax. It has different vibes to it. There is a very active solo guitar, which sounds cool, but can be a bit too much as well.

Idle Hands’ ‘Mana’ is a goth rroch/heavy metal masterpiece that strikes more than one emotional chord.

Baest seems to continue in the same direction of the debut album but this time they push harder where they intent to sound more organic and raw.

Nightfell borrow the elements of 90’s death metal and turn their sound into crushing obscure dirges.

All thriller and no filler, Destruction kills it again with a modern yet classic thrash metal sound!

Swedish apocalyptic pop duo Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio invites you to a four song foursome on ‘Ménage à Quatre’.

In pursuit of speaking the unspeakable, Kristin Hayter exorcises her own demons on the uncompromising survivor stories of Lingua Ignota’s third album ‘Caligula’.

The fresh take on extreme and death/crust metal style proves that the younger generation like the Estonian Swarn has their own methodical approach to this sub-genre.
