Artist: Skeletal Remains Album Title: Fragments Of The Ageless Label: Century Media Date of Release: 8 March 2024 Having favourably reviewed the past two albums from California’s Skeletal Remains, I felt it would have been considered bad form to not check out their latest full-length endeavour, ‘Fragments Of The Ageless’. And so here we are  Continue Reading »

Artist: Borknagar Album Title: Fall Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 23 February 2024 For some reason, completely unknown to me at this point, ‘True North’ completely passed me by. Released towards the end of 2019, I can only assume that I took a temporary leave of my senses. Under any normal circumstances, new  Continue Reading »

Artist: Upon Stone Album Title: Dead Mother Moon Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 19 January 2024 I’m late to this particular party, for which I apologise.

Artist: Arch Enemy Album Title: Deceivers Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 12 August 2022 I have made absolutely no secret of my feelings towards Arch Enemy over the years. When I discovered the Swedish melodic death metal unit around the time of their sophomore album, ‘Stigmata’, I was blown away. The power, the  Continue Reading »

Artist: Krisiun Album Title: Mortem Solis Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 29 July 2022 One thing about music that never ceases to interest me, is the way in which some artists can enjoy a long and successful career, whilst others do not, despite creating a final product that’s not a whole lot different.  Continue Reading »

Artist: Witchery Album Title: Nightside Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 22 July 2022 Swedish band Witchery have been around since 1997 – that’s twenty-five years, a quarter of a century – and for all of that time, they have remained at the periphery of my affections. Over the course of seven studio albums,  Continue Reading »

Artist: Oceans Of Slumber Album Title: Starlight And Ash Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 22 July 2022 “’Starlight and Ash’ isn’t Metal, but its edges are.” This is the proud proclamation within the press release which accompanies the fifth album from US band Oceans Of Slumber, a band that I can honestly say that  Continue Reading »
