Exul

Dogged and delayed by a global pandemic and pieced together over a period of two years, "Exul" has been a long time coming. NE OBLIVISCARIS have never made the kind of records that can be dashed off in a fortnight. As far back as their 2012 debut "Portal Of I", they were peddling a unique strain of...

Foregone

Accidental pioneers when barely out of their teens, IN FLAMES should have little to prove. Such was the enduring impact of early records like "The Jester Race" (1996) and "Whoracle" (1997),  that the Swedes are held in particularly high esteem by generations of metal fans. The fact that they (a...
