Grand Explosivos

Always at least twice as exciting as the bands they routinely supported, ELECTRIC BOYS probably could, should and would have been global megastars had anyone sensible been in charge back in the late '80s.

A few years of inactivity aside, the Cleveland quintet have been hammering grimly away ever since, while somehow becomin...

Monuments To Absence

The steady evolution of black metal has produced plenty of fascinating music in recent times, much of it within the realms of so-called post-BM: an inventive but occasionally underpowered metallic extremity, dominated by atmospheric layering and melodic haziness. UK stalwarts FEN have consistently b...

Live At Montreux Jazz Festival '07

Once upon a time, live albums were major events, but the constant demand for "additional content" has rendered them largely redundant, except in very special cases.

War Against All

The problem with being black metal legends is that every single move is destined to be scrutinized by a devoted and often extremely picky fan base. In 2015, when Abbath left IMMORTAL, it wasn't entirely clear what kind of future the band had, but cynics had not accounted for the sheer determination...
