Wilderun – Epigone – Album Review
Artist: Wilderun Album Title: Epigone Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 7 January 2022 I’m going to level with you. I am possibly the only fan of heavy music on Earth who didn’t enjoy ‘Veil Of Imagination’, the third full-length release from Wilderun. It featured highly within many ‘album of the year’ lists in Continue Reading »
Swallow The Sun – Moonflowers – Album Review
Artist: Swallow The Sun Album Title: Moonflowers Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 19 November 2021 My love affair with Swallow The Sun goes back many years. In fact, I can trace my history with the band right back to their debut album, ‘The Morning Never Came’ that they released in 2003. Over the Continue Reading »
Omnium Gatherum – Origin – Album Review
Artist: Omnium Gatherum Album Title: Origin Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 5 November 2021 It’s fitting, in many ways the latest album from Finland’s Omnium Gatherum, ‘Origin’ should be released on 5th November, because you should expect fireworks. I wrote a review for the new Insomnium EP very recently and remarked that the Continue Reading »
Insomnium – Argent Moon – EP Review
Artist: Insomnium Album Title: Argent Moon EP Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 17 September 2021 I find it quite amusing that neither of my favourite two melodic death metal bands at the current time hail from Sweden. After all, it was the Swedes that invented the genre. But no. Both Omnium Gatherum and Continue Reading »
At The Gates – The Nightmare Of Being – Album Review
Artist: At The Gates Album Title: The Nightmare Of Being Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 2 July 2021 I’m going to dispense with any smoke and mirrors or ambiguity right from the outset and declare that, without any doubt, ‘The Nightmare Of Being’ is easily the best album that At The Gates have Continue Reading »
Hideous Divinity – LV-426 – EP Review
Artist: Hideous Divinity Album Title: LV-426 Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 23 April 2021 If ever there was a way for a band to ingratiate themselves with me, it would not be to create an EP based on the ‘Alien’ films. I watched these at university with mates who assured me that these Continue Reading »
Cryptosis – Bionic Swarm – Album Review
Artist: Cryptosis Album Title: Bionic Swarm Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 26 March 2021 It’s not often that you see a band completely ditch their identity and create a whole new entity in the process. Normally, a band will cling to the past and the name despite there being few original members involved. Continue Reading »
Enforced – Kill Grid – Album Review
Artist: Enforced Album Title: Kill Grid Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 12 March 2021 Having fallen back in love with thrash metal over the last 18 months or so, I am now going to attempt a further broadening of my horizons by giving some cross-over thrash a shot. Not really one for hardcore Continue Reading »
Witherfall – Curse Of Autumn – Album Review
Artist: Witherfall Album Title: Curse Of Autumn Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 5 March 2021 This has to be one of my most anticipated releases of 2021, and has been so since news broke of it’s likely release a few months ago. Witherfall impressed and amazed me with ‘A Prelude To Sorrow’ in Continue Reading »
Angelus Apatrida – Angelus Apatrida – Album Review
Artist: Angelus Apatrida Album Title: Angelus Apatrida Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 5 February 2021 It makes me feel really old when a band, born in the early noughties is celebrating its 20th anniversary. I mean, damnit, I was in my 20s when Spanish thrash metal band Angelus Apatrida were formed in 2001. Continue Reading »
