Devil's Bell

It may be because they come from Bergen, Norway, rather than anywhere near the Sunset Strip, but AUDREY HORNE have never quite hit the heights that their music seems to demand. Even back on early albums like "Le Fol" (2017) and the Norwegians' superb self-titled record (2010),they were writing ridi...

They Seek My Head

Thanks to the undeniable fact that big riffs and a touch of the blues are always going to resonate with a lot of people, there is unlikely to ever be a shortage of stoner-friendly, sludgy metal bands. That's good news, of course, but the future would look even brighter if a fraction of those bands h...

Comedian

Exactly five years on from the release of their excellent "Lunar" debut, WITHOUT WAVES are in an uncompromising mood. "Good Grief" kicks off the Chicagoan quartet's second album with a flurry of machine-gun riffs and cudgeling, syncopated beats, and the impact is undeniable. When the song takes a pe...

Impera

You will have heard the singles and witnessed the ripples of excitement that greet every successive announcement. The fact is, the new GHOST album is an absolute riot and it's hard to see any future that doesn't involve this band becoming even bigger than they already are. Recent times have proven t...

Kuusumu

As any dedicated fan of ultra-miserable, deathly doom metal will tell you, the Finns have absolutely got their shit together. Although less well-known, KUOLEMANLAAKSO deserve to be regarded along those other benchmarks of funeral and melancholic doom metal: SHAPE OF DESPAIR, SKEPTICISM and SWALLOW T...

Circus Of Doom

As much as many of us love to wallow in darkness and horror, virtually everybody is susceptible to occasional doses of bright-eyed and bombastic heavy metal joy. BATTLE BEAST are certified experts in this department, of course. From an early run of albums that established the Finns as major contende...

Agma

It may only be those who sleep with an HM-2 pedal under their pillow who noticed, but WOMBBATH delivered one of the all-time great comeback records with "Downfall Rising" in 2015. A mere six years later, the Swedish death metal veterans are delivering their fifth post-return full-length, and it is b...

New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.2

A side project with legs, ME AND THAT MAN has plainly been a godsend (devilsend?) for Nergal: a self-evident workaholic who only ever sits down long enough to plot another artistic assault on the status quo. The BEHEMOTH mastermind's restless spirit must have been in danger of going stir crazy durin...

No Sign Of Life

When you start something, you have every right to finish it. UNLEASHED were battering people with tales of Viking tumult and vengeful Norse Gods long before most, and even as the Swedes approach their 33rd anniversary (one for the Jesus fans, maybe?),they show no signs of losing faith nor fire. The...
