Artist: Cradle Of Filth Album Title: Existence Is Futile Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 22 October 2021 My relationship with Cradle Of Filth has been well-documented on this website over the years, so I don’t propose to delve into it once again. Suffice to say that I have remained a fan of varying degrees  Continue Reading »

Artist: Seven Spires Album Title: Gods Of Debauchery Label: Frontiers Records Date of Release:  10 September 2021 Yes, yes, and thrice yes. I always love it when I make a new musical discovery, one that gives me goosebumps, makes me smile, and gives me that feeling that I simply need to carve out time in  Continue Reading »

Artist: Sleep Token Album Title: This Place Will Become Your Tomb Label: Spinefarm Date of Release: 24 September 2021 It’s one thing to be able to shroud your identity in mystery behind masks or by deliberately shunning the media, but it’s quite another to be able to hide the true identity of your music as  Continue Reading »

Artist: Necrofier Album Title: Prophecies Of Eternal Darkness Label: Season Of Mist Date of Release: October 2021 I have been keeping an eye out on this band for quite some time for a couple of reasons.

Artist: A Dying Planet Album Title: When The Skies Are Grey Label: Lifeforce Records Date of Release: 17 September 2021 A new album from the talented mind and hands of Jasun Tipton is always a happy event around these parts.
