Artist: Seth Album Title: La Morsure Du Christ Label: Season Of Mist Date of Release: 7 May 2021 My relationship with religion is no secret. I don’t believe in any God, a belief shaped over many years of personal experiences, mostly negative, some of which I have talked about within previous album reviews. It means  Continue Reading »

Artist: Nordjevel  Album Title: Fenriir EP  Label: Indie Recordings  Date of Release: 7 May 2021  This is my first taste of Nordjevel, and what better way to make my acquaintance than with their latest offering, a five-track EP entitled ‘Fenriir’. Only knowing that Nordjevel are a Norwegian black metal band, I didn’t really know what to expect when pressing play for  Continue Reading »

Artist: Temtris  Album Title: Ritual Warfare  Label: Wormholedeath  Date of Release: 30 April 2021  It will always remain a mystery as to why some bands make it big, whilst others struggle to get the attention they deserve. Right place, right time? Bias? Nepotism? Faces just don’t fit? It’s probably a mixture of all these factors to be honest, but it  Continue Reading »

Artist: Astrakhan  Album Title: A Slow Ride Towards Death  Label: Melodic Passion Records  Date of Release: 23 April 2021  Bearing in mind my love of progressive music, be it rock or metal, and given the clientele involved, it is a little surprising perhaps that I had missed the name Astrakhan until now. ‘A Slow Ride Towards Death’ is  Continue Reading »

Artist: Akiavel Album Title: Væ Victis Label: Akia Records Date of Release: 23 April 2021 It’s no surprise to find me once again plundering the melodic death metal genre for my latest review. After all, you all know very well by now that I have more than a passing soft spot for this kind of  Continue Reading »

Artist: Gojira Album Title: Fortitude Label: Roadrunner Records Date of Release: 30 April 2021 The award for idiot of the decade has been won. No, it’s not any number of politicians, those that own online music streaming platforms, or the entirety of Arsenal football club. No, the award goes to me. And it isn’t even  Continue Reading »

Artist: Ninkharsag Album Title: The Dread March Of Solemn Gods Label: Vendetta Records Date of Release: 30 April 2021 On one of my infamous evenings of ‘research’ where I trawl my inbox, promo databases, and the web at large to identify new music to listen to, review, and bring to a wider audience, I happened  Continue Reading »

Artist: Morrigu Album Title: In Turbulence Label: Ghost Sound Media Date of Release: 23 April 2021 If ever there was an apt album title, it’s this. ‘In Turbulence’ easily describes the history of a band that have suffered an inordinate amount over the years. The fact that Morrigu are still together and still producing music  Continue Reading »

Artist: Mother Of All Album Title: Age Of The Solipsist Label: Black Lion Records Date of Release: 23 April 2021 Black Lion Records is a label with which I am becoming ever more familiar. Ghosts Of Atlantis, Kvaen, and Maestitium are all artists that have recently released great albums on the Swedish label that’s gaining  Continue Reading »

Artist: Sweet Oblivion (Geoff Tate) Album Title: Relentless Label: Frontiers Music Date of Release: 9 April 2021 I’m not generally a fan of artificially created musical projects.
