Welcome to the second instalment of my half-year round-up where I summarise my favourite albums that have been released during the first half of 2016.

Cosmograf – The Unreasonable Silence – Album Review
Artist: Cosmograf Album Title: The Unreasonable Silence Label: Cosmograf Music Date Of Release: 13 June 2016 Cosmograf is another musical name that I have discovered this year thanks to the power and persuasion of social media, not to mention the increased time that I have now that I am only writing for my own blog.

Live gig review: Haken, Special Providence, Arkentype – Highbury Garage 26/05/16
**please forgive the quality of the photography that accompanies this live review. Thanks to a very kind and polite security team, I wasn’t able to take my SLR into the venue and my brand new HTC 10 decided that it wasn’t going to play nicely with me, refusing to focus in anything but long range Continue Reading »
Big Big Train – Folklore – Album Review
Artist: Big Big Train Album Title: Folklore Label: English Electric Recordings Date Of Release: 27 May 2016 Albums like this need to be consumed for some time before any thoughts are committed to paper or PC.

Earthside – Interview – “we don’t write something with the idea of making it easy to play live”
‘A Dream In Static’, the debut album from US progressive metal band Earthside ended up as my favourite album of 2015. I wasn’t expecting this to be the case at the start of the year but if you’ve heard it, you’ll not be surprised as to why it attained such a lofty place in my Continue Reading »
Habu – Infinite – Album Review
Artist: Habu Album Title: Infinite Label: Independent Release Date Of Release: 29 April 2016 It’s a rare thing for a decent band to come from my own personal neck of the woods. Aside from Cradle Of Filth, the pickings from Suffolk are pretty slim. But then, given our rural surroundings and relaxed pace of life, Continue Reading »
