The Living Dead

Originally released in 2000 under the title "Nomad" (with minor track alterations),PAUL DI'ANNO's "The Living Dead" renewed my interest in a man that I revered for his work on the first two IRON MAIDEN albums, but whose subsequent projects (GOGMAGOG, BATTLEZONE, and KILLERS) passed me by with littl...

Waves of Visual Decay

It was not too long ago that I reviewed COMMUNIC's debut full-length "Conspiracy in Mind", for this very site.

Eric the Red

To paraphrase the great Doug Stanhope, being the biggest band on the Faroe Islands is kinda like being the prettiest waitress at a Denny's diner. With a population of less than 50,000 and an area about the size of a large city, this group of tiny isles in the Norwegian Sea is home to numerous ...

Memorial

Kudos to Portugal's MOONSPELL for creating goth with death metal propulsion that should have cross-genre appeal. You heard it on much of "The Antidote", but "Memorial" is a 59-minute gem of an album that manages to be very heavy without dispensing with that Vampire-esque gothic appeal. While I would...
