Air Not Meant For Us

With loss, grief and sorrow being on everybody's minds to some degree over the last few years, there has never been a better time for someone to make an album as eloquently crestfallen and beautifully dark as "Air Not Meant For Us". FIRES IN THE DISTANCE emerged as a class act. Their 2020 debut "Ech...

Angus McSix and the Sword of Power

Once upon a time, a dead Scottish prince decided to rise from the grave.

Or so...

Scorched

They were there at the very beginning and, judging by the sheer venomous brutality of their 20th studio album, they will be there at the end. OVERKILL are not a band that have ever seriously contemplated retirement, possibly because somebody has to be there to show everyone else how this face-rippin...

Now that summer is a-rollin' in, the need for music that extinguishes all light has never been more urgent. Fuck all that cheerful nonsense. Summer is a bummer and SUNROT are acutely aware of the downside of just about everything. The New Jersey quintet's second full-length album arrives a suitably...

Death Rattle

Ah, now this is the stuff. There is never a shortage of bands whipping up thunder in the reductive, inelegant name of stoner metal, but genuinely great albums are less common, even in these overpopulated times. The lysergic creams always rises to the top eventually, however. DESERT STORM have been b...

Prey

Cooked up during long, locked down months and polished to what sounds like close to perfection, "Prey" is a debut album that oozes class. We are firmly in symphonic extreme metal territory here, with echoes of all the usual post-DIMMU subjects, but HALIPHRON rarely sound entirely in thrall to other...
