Artist: Veonity Album Title: Elements Of Power Label: Scarlet Records Date of Release:  18 February 2022 Veonity’s 2018 release, ‘Legend Of The Starborn’ was a bit of a power metal corker scoring highly on this very website. 2020’s follow-up, ‘Sorrows’ wasn’t bad either, but it’s fair to say that they did throw a bit of  Continue Reading »

Artist: Nightrage Album Title: Abyss Rising Label: Despotz Records Date of Release:  18 February 2022 My attention was first drawn to Nightrage back in 2003 when they released their debut album, ‘Sweet Vengeance’.

However, the fact that I am offering my thoughts on it, should tell you that album  Continue Reading »

Artist: The Last Of Lucy Album Title: Moksha Label: Transcending Obscurity Records Date of Release:  18 February 2022 By all accounts, it doesn’t seem to matter one way or the other whether you’ve been a long-term fan of The Last Of Lucy when it comes to this review. I’m not familiar with them, having been  Continue Reading »

Artist: Arð Album Title: Take Up My Bones Label: Prophecy Productions Date of Release:  18 February 2022 It has been quite a while since I was able to wallow self-indulgently in some melodic funeral-paced doom metal. However, Arð provide more than ample ammunition to allow me to do just that, and it’s a very welcome  Continue Reading »

Artist: Embryonic Autopsy Album Title: Prophecies Of The Conjoined Label: Massacre Records Date of Release: 18 February 2022 What better way to ward off the sickly-sweet sentiment of Valentine’s Day than with some gnarly, brutal death metal?
