Album Reviews

After thirty years Adorior slithers out from the depths of hell to convey its satanic wicked album ‘Bleed On My Teeth’ through the medium of raw fucking metal. Out via Dark Descent Records and comes highly recommended for fans of Slayer, Absu and Angelcorpse!

Grimgotts is a symphonic power metal band up to their second album ‘Dragons Of The Ages’. If you like pirate metal from Alestorm and Lagerstein, don’t hesitate to check these guys out.

Foul Body Autopsy is back, just a year after the previous album. Fans will not be disappointed and if you’re new to this, why not give it a try.

Anaal Nathrakh are still pushing the boundaries of extreme music to its furthest limits. The dynamic duo from Birmingham have done so with each new release, and this time’s no different.

Desert Storm’s Sentinels gives you sludge that sticks to the groove, heavier than the sun’s core, dirtier than a hobo’s pits.

The UK barbaric trio Conan takes you on a deadly trip with their latest release of the legendary “Caveman Battle Doom”…

Ever since the untimely demise of Cathedral it has fallen upon Witchsorrow to carry the lantern of doom across Albion’s shores.

Start your engines, ladies and gentlemen: nothing`s off limits for Welsh ragga rock / metal pioneers Skindred and their seventh album Big Tings! Roaring and pounding, big sounding, groovy as hell !!!

A good step-in album for new fans to work up to their crazy stuff from the first album.

Here is a timeless collection of melancholic tales of woe that shine brilliantly in its authentic, heartfelt simplicity.
