Persefone – Lingua Ignota: Part I – EP Review

Artist: Persefone Album Title: Lingua Ignota: Part I Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 2 February 2024 Receiving one score in the high 90s could be put down to a bit of luck, the stars aligning to produce a special record. But to achieve two of these scores on the bounce means that there’s something  Continue Reading »

Cattle Decapitation – Terrasite – Album Review

Artist: Cattle Decapitation Album Title: Terrasite Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release: 12 May 2023 What the hell is up with that cover artwork? For the most part it is great, but the face of that creature is…well…odd. I know what Cattle Decapitation are trying to do, or at least I think I do.  Continue Reading »

Pressure Points – The Island – Album Review

Artist: Pressure Points Album Title: The Island Label: Art Gates Records Date of Release: 17 March 2023 Way back in 2015, when my website was in its relative infancy, and so were my two children, I heard a band called Pressure Points for the very first time. What I heard, was their second album, entitled  Continue Reading »

Allegaeon – Damnum – Album Review

Artist: Allegaeon Album Title: Damnum Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release:  25 February 2022 I could have sworn that I’d reviewed Allegaeon in the past. I was certain of it. And yet, upon further investigation, I am grossly mistaken. Thank heavens I didn’t lay a wager on it, that’s all I can say. It’s  Continue Reading »

Persefone – Metanoia – Album Review

Artist: Persefone Album Title: Metanoia Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 4 February 2022 I desperately wanted to bring this review to fruition much earlier than this but the more I listened to ‘Metanoia’, one of the most highly anticipated metal releases of 2022, the more time I felt I needed in order to formulate  Continue Reading »

Wilderun – Epigone – Album Review

Artist: Wilderun Album Title: Epigone Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 7 January 2022 I’m going to level with you. I am possibly the only fan of heavy music on Earth who didn’t enjoy ‘Veil Of Imagination’, the third full-length release from Wilderun. It featured highly within many ‘album of the year’ lists in  Continue Reading »

Dessiderium – Aria – Album Review

Artist: Dessiderium Album Title: Aria Label: The Artisan Era Date of Release: 10 December 2021 Just when I thought I’d completed all my reviews for 2021, I’m presented with another promo that I simply could not ignore. The album is entitled ‘Aria’, and it’s the fourth album from the mind and hands of US musician,  Continue Reading »

Be’lakor – Coherence – Album Review

Artist: Be’lakor Album Title: Coherence Label: Napalm Records Date of Release:  29 October 2021 I’ve been very slow on the uptake of Be’lakor, the Australian melodic death metal quintet, because ‘Coherence’ is their fifth album, but only the second one that I have heard and reviewed. I hear lots of great things about their first  Continue Reading »

Alluvial – Sarcoma – Album Review

Artist: Alluvial Album Title: Sarcoma Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 28 May 2021 Ever heard of Alluvial? Well I hadn’t, not before I was offered the opportunity to review this album. Based on some research, I realised that the reason for this might have been because the debut album from this American entity, ‘The  Continue Reading »

Aversed – Impermanent – Album Review

Artist: Aversed Album Title: Impermanent Label: Independent Release Date of Release: 19 March 2021 Less is more, right? Right? It’s the clichéd phrase that we always hear and to which many will subscribe. Not in the case of Aversed though. It’s clearly an old adage that has passed them by based on the content of  Continue Reading »
