Post Mortem

A pioneering force in folk metal since the early '90s, SUBWAY TO SALLY are true diehards. Anyone who has attended a festival in Germany will surely have seen them multiple times and had an excellent experience in the process. Beloved in their native land and across Europe, they have never had an int...

Reaperdawn

In a particularly strong year for black metal, it will take an album of considerable brilliance to stand out from the nefarious hordes. "Reaperdawn" is not the only contender for that position, but it is certainly one of the most convincing and undeniable. The brainchild of NECROPHOBIC guitarist Seb...

The Highest Level

The early days of death metal, we are talking about the mid to late eighties through the early nineties, were predominantly based in the West, obvious suspects like AUTOPSY, DEATH and OBITUARY in the US, and the likes of ENTOMBED, CARCASS and CADAVER in Europe. This isn't to say that there weren't i...

Shiki

A confounding, psychedelic one-off in a world that often seems full of dreary, grey sheep, SIGH are one of those bands that can always be relied upon to release music that sounds absolutely nothing like anything else you might have heard lately. It was always the way, at least since the Japanese ban...

Flamingo Overlord

Never let it be said that heavy metal isn't worth taking extremely seriously, but there should always be room for a little levity, and for bands as patently, enduringly ludicrous as TROLLFEST. Ostensibly a folk metal band with a degree of shared DNA with FINNTROLL and their many inferiors, the Norwe...

Moonflowers

Described by the band's creative mastermind Juha Raivio as "a mirror of a deep self-disappointment", "Moonflowers" is an album with sorrow and dismay at its very core. That will not come as a huge surprise to fans of SWALLOW THE SUN, as the Finnish band have long established themselves as the finest...
