Deicide – Banished By Sin – Album Review
Artist: Deicide Album Title: Banished By Sin Label: Reigning Phoenix Music Date of Release: 26 April 2024 I’ve never been a fan of Deicide. I’ll happily state that right at the outset. And it’s not for any other reason that I have always thought of their music as the kind of death metal that sounds Continue Reading »
My Dying Bride – A Mortal Binding – Album Review
Artist: My Dying Bride Album Title: A Mortal Binding Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 19 April 2024 When a band can boast no fewer than fourteen albums over a career spanning nearly 35 years, it’s inevitable that different fans will have different favourites. It will, no doubt, depend on your age, your musical journey Continue Reading »
Replicant – Infinite Mortality – Album Review
Artist: Replicant Album Title: Infinite Mortality Label: Transcending Obscurity Date of Release: 12 April 2024 2024 definitely feels like it’s the year that my tastes get even heavier and more extreme. I tend to think of myself as a progressive metal fan first and foremost, but so far, there have only been precious few releases Continue Reading »
Witch Vomit – Funeral Sanctum – Album Review
Artist: Witch Vomit Album Title: Funeral Sanctum Label: 20 Buck Spin Date of Release: 5 April 2024 Being the weak human that I am, I finally succumbed to the increasing chorus of positivity surrounding this album and checked it out. What initially put me off was the name of the band which didn’t necessarily inspire Continue Reading »
Protosequence – Bestiary – Album Review
Artist: Protosequence Album Title: Bestiary Label: Lacerated Enemy Records Date of Release: 5 April 2024 I’m not sure what’s going on in Canada at the moment, but alongside encouraging pedestrians to use fake bricks in Vancouver in an effort to get cars to stop at crossings, there seems to be one hell of a steady Continue Reading »
Hour Of Penance – Devotion – Album Review
Artist: Hour Of Penance Album Title: Devotion Label: Agonia Records Date of Release: 5 April 2024 Yeck, yuck, and thrice yuck. The AI debate will rage on and on for months, years, maybe decades. Who knows where the subject will end. But, in 2024, I am one of the music fans in the camp that Continue Reading »
Brodequin – Harbinger Of Woe – Album Review
Artist: Brodequin Album Title: Harbinger Of Woe Label: Season Of Mist: Underground Activists Date of Release: 22 March 2024 “With ‘Harbinger of Woe’, Brodequin reclaim their throne as the most brutal band in all of death metal.” Yup, they went there. As press release hyperbole goes, this quote is one of the strongest I’ve seen in a Continue Reading »

Artist: Hamferð Album Title: Men Guðs hond er sterk Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release: 22 March 2024 I’ve had my eye on this release for quite some time and I’m delighted that it is finally here.

Necrophobic – In The Twilight Grey – Album Review
Artist: Necrophobic Album Title: In The Twilight Grey Label: Century Media Date of Release: 15 March 2024 My review of 2020’s ‘Dawn Of The Damned’ was essentially a diatribe aimed squarely at myself and my metal ‘radar’ for allowing Necrophobic to slip past me undetected for so long. I berated myself, wailed to the heavens Continue Reading »
Skeletal Remains – Fragments Of The Ageless – Album Review
Artist: Skeletal Remains Album Title: Fragments Of The Ageless Label: Century Media Date of Release: 8 March 2024 Having favourably reviewed the past two albums from California’s Skeletal Remains, I felt it would have been considered bad form to not check out their latest full-length endeavour, ‘Fragments Of The Ageless’. And so here we are Continue Reading »
