Pestilent Hex - The Ashen Abhorrence - Album Review
Pestilent Hex – The Ashen Abhorrence – Album Review
Artist: Pestilent Hex Album Title: The Ashen Abhorrence Label: Debemur Morti Productions Date of Release: 8 July 2022 Melodic black metal and I have always been keen bedfellows, so the opportunity to check out a debut album from a new player in the scene was too tempting an offer to pass up. In fact, I’ve been keeping an eye open for this album from Pestilent Hex since it was announced a…

Deathwhite - Grey Everlasting - Album Review
Deathwhite – Grey Everlasting – Album Review
Artist: Deathwhite Album Title: Grey Everlasting Label: Season Of Mist Date of Release: 10 June 2022 Released nearly two weeks ago, I am really tardy with this review, and for that I apologise to all those who are bitterly disappointed by my ineptitude. The thing is, I just missed it. And were it not for a nudge from outside sources, this album might have escaped me altogether. And, as it…

White Ward - False Light - Album Review
White Ward – False Light – Album Review
Artist: White Ward Album Title: False Light Label: Debemur Morti Records Date of Release: 17 June 2022 I missed the White Ward’s last album, ‘Love Exchange Failure’ in 2019, so I also missed the fact that the Ukrainian band had added a new musician to their ranks, saxophonist Dima Dudko. Those that are familiar to my reviews will know that this spells trouble, for I am not a lover of this…

Kardashev - Liminal Rite - Album Review
Kardashev – Liminal Rite – Album Review
Artist: Kardashev Album Title: Liminal Rite Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release: 10 June 2022 When was the last time you sat down and listened to an artist about which you previously knew nothing and had your world turned upside down? Well, it has happened to me here. Deathgaze – I didn’t even realise the subgenre existed, but I do now. Equally, I didn’t even realise a band by the name…

Seventh Wonder - The Testament - Album Review
Seventh Wonder – The Testament – Album Review
Artist: Seventh Wonder Album Title: The Testament Label: Frontiers Music Date of Release: 10 June 2022 Just when 2022 was beginning to feel disappointing when it came to progressive metal, the balance has begun to be redressed. In the last month or so, we’ve had new albums from Zero Hour and Spheric Universe Experience, whilst others have been announced and will see the light of day over the…

Outshine - The Awakening - Album Review
Outshine – The Awakening – Album Review
Artist: Outshine Album Title: The Awakening Label: Rockshots Records Date of Release: 13 May 2022 Overtly Gothic-sounding music is not normally something that I gravitate towards. Within my collection, I have plenty of material by the likes of Type O Negative and Paradise Lost, but then who doesn’t? That aside though, my quota of Goth rock/metal is pretty sparce to say the least. However,…

Haunter - Discarnate Ails - Album Review
Haunter – Discarnate Ails – Album Review
Artist: Haunter Album Title: Discarnate Ails Label: Profound Lore Records Date of Release: 6 May 2022 Apparently, when they formed nearly a decade ago, Haunter were considered more a screamo band than anything else. This explains why the San Antonio, Texas-based quartet never made it onto my radar previously. However, based on the content of ‘Discarnate Ails’, their third full-length album,…

The best albums of 2022 so far...three months in
The best albums of 2022 so far…three months in
Where has the time gone? In what feels like the blink of an eye, here we are at the end of the first three months of 2022. A quarter of the year done and dusted already. Mind you, it’s no wonder the time has flown, because I have never been busier with this website. So far, I’ve published no fewer than 75 reviews, right across the spectrum of heavy music, from instrumental post rock, to technical…

Meshuggah - Immutable - Album Review
Meshuggah – Immutable – Album Review
Artist: Meshuggah Album Title: Immutable Label: Atomic Fire Records Date of Release: 1 April 2022 Immutable. An adjective meaning “unchanging over time or unable to be changed.” In many ways, the title of this album is perfect. Over the past three decades, Meshuggah have consistently and stubbornly stood at the pinnacle of extreme progressive metal. The term ‘djent’ and the bands that…

Thirteen Goats - Servants Of The Outer Dark - Album Review
Thirteen Goats – Servants Of The Outer Dark – Album Review
Artist: Thirteen Goats Album Title: Servants Of The Outer Dark Label: Independent Release Date of Release: 1 July 2022 I’m really not entirely sure how I should view this album, and how I should go about reviewing it. Thirteen Goats is a new name to me, and to the metal world at large, with little known about the band, other than they like heavy, extreme metal, they have a sense of humour,…

New sounds to wrap your ears around - Vol.1 - 8th July 22
New sounds to wrap your ears around – Vol.1 – 8th July 22
Welcome to the first post in a brand new series called ‘new sounds to wrap your ears around’ The idea of these posts is simple. Every week, I am inundated with requests and/or updates from bands that are either well-known, deep in the underground, or brand new. Often, these requests or updates seek to get me to feature a new song on my website. Up until now, I’ve had to say ‘thanks, but I only…

Vomit Forth - Seething Malevolence - Album Review
Vomit Forth – Seething Malevolence – Album Review
Artist: Vomit Forth Album Title: Seething Malevolence Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 8 July 2022 We’ve all been there – you wait for someone to pass you in the supermarket, and they blank you; you’re cut up by another driver on the road; someone acts in an antisocial manner on public transport. Well, instead of stooping to their level and acting inappropriately, I suggest you…

Greylotus - Downfall - Album Review
Greylotus – Downfall – Album Review
Artist: Greylotus Album Title: Downfall Label: The Artisan Era Date of Release: 8 July 2022 Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, Greylotus are a relatively new and emerging name in the technical death metal arena. They released an EP in 2018 entitled ‘Savior’, and toured in the US with Abiotic, Cognitive, and God Of Nothing in 2019. Just last weekend, they came to the shores of Blighty to play…

My Soliloquy - Fu3ion - Album Review
My Soliloquy – Fu3ion – Album Review
Artist: My Soliloquy Album Title: Fu3ion Label: Rare Artist Music Date of Release: 11 July 2022 I have closely followed the career of Pete Morten ever since I discovered him whilst plying his trade with UK progressive metal band Threshold. Being involved in some of my favourite and most enduring records by one of the best bands within the genre will certainly help with the spotlight. However,…
