Album: Darkthrone – Circle The Wagons

Darkthrone Circle The Wagons Peaceville Records 8 March 2010 by Tom Dare Legendary black metal pioneers Darkthrone began moving away from a conventional black metal style some time ago, and with Circle The Wagons, their fourteenth album, it could be argued they have stylistically abandoned black metal altogether. However, this would be...

Album: Mnemic – Sons of the System

Mnemic Sons of the System Nuclear Blast 18 January 2010 by Andy Parker The release of The Audio Injected Soul saw Denmark’s Mnemic receive serious acclaim from the metal world. Released in 2004, for many it was the teat desperately needed since the demise of the industrial nipple that was Fear Factory. Similar characteristics...

The Smoking Hearts: “He was dancing around wearing nothing but a bow-tie”

On Monday, Bedfordshire punk’n'rollers, The Smoking Hearts, self-released their debut album Pride of Nowhere on their own George Street Records. With 13 songs clocking in at under 30 minutes, it rattles around with the shitkicker spirit of Backyard Babies, if perhaps they hotwired a Mustang, sandblasted the gloss and glam clear...

Video: The Defiled – ‘The Resurrectionists’

Okay, okay – we’re a little late on this one. The Defiled actually released this video to ‘The Resurrectionts’ –  one of the centrepiece tracks from their excellent 1888 EP – last weekend. We just failed to mention it because we’ve either a) been out of the country, b) been...

You think you like the Saw movies? Well, not as much as Mark from Ramesses you don’t

We shouldn’t need to tell you just how frickin’ awesome Dorset sludge-doom titans Ramesses are – after all, we pretty much demanded earlier this year that you go see them play live. And those among you that heeded our advice might’ve spotted that the band’s drummer, Mark Greening – also a former...

Album: Ov Hell – The Underworld Regime

Ov Hell The Underworld Regime Indie Recordings 8 February 2010 By Tom Dare Can we finally put the soap opera of the Gorgoroth name dispute behind us now? As interesting and legally important as the issue was, it is surely time to get back to the business at hand- making disturbing and evil black metal...

OCTOBER FILE - Our Souls To You

IN MOURNING - Monolith

Two years after their debut release, Shrouded Divine, the band from Sweden comes to continue their musical journey.

As if those weren't enough, there's...

Vasaeleth - Crypt Born And Tethered To Ruin Review

Crypt Born and Tethered To Ruin doesn't sound polished. It sounds like it was recorded in my grandma's basement. It's a cesspool of gargling sounds and riffs that ably ride the line between music and noise. Vocalist O.A.'s insanely guttural low vocals will remind listeners of the...
