COILED AROUND THY SPINE ~ From The Ashes 2022 (Deluxe Edition)


Melodic they said. Well yeah, but most of the melody in this album has been expelled, slashed, battered and bruised, reeling from relentless death metal punishment and lacerating guitar solos.

This album was originally released in 2021 but has now been remixed and remastered, with extra songs, 'Like Hell' (Loudness cover) and 'Bite The Pain'  (Death cover)

GOAT VOMIT NOISE ~ Nihilist Front (EP) 2022


 Obnoxious black death from Italy. There's loads of nasties to contend with in this vicious, eardrum destroying EP.  First off are the hypersonic death riffs that flay you alive, interspersed with surprise switches to an ugly HM-2 onslaught encapsulated in crust that leaves you recoiling from the horror of it all. Goat Vomit Noise

DOOMSHINE ~ The End Is Worth Waiting For ( 2015)


Doomshine is a Germanic band that trudges a weary route along the Candlemass path, slightly less polished with a more 'metallic' feel and that is not a criticism at all. The songs are epic, slow as you would expect but with the (very) occasional burst of speed. Guitar solo's weep in anguish at the heaviness of it all then sigh in contentment when salved by the glorious melodies that illuminate this fantastic album.

RAT TAMANGO ~ Jelly Tube (2022)


 Rat Tamango is an Australian blues band that rocks like a mountain range and rolls like boulders in a landslide. They play a raw style of mood shifting blues rock, acidic, raw and snarling one moment, moody and sullen the next all with tons of strutting attitude. Watch out for the fuzz, it bites without warning when you least expect it. 

There is a recent full length 'As I Live and Breathe' that hasn't found it's way onto Bandcamp yet.

Doom from the Dominican Republic



NECROM ~ ' All Paths Are Left Here'

NECROM emerged in 2018 as a tribute to the grandeur of old school death metal from the veterans of Ukrainian metal scene

DESOLATE SHRINE ~ 'Fires of the Dying World'

Yet be forewarned before indulging from the poison chalice of Fires of the Dying World for it ensnares its victims in an inescapable maelstrom of death and futility. 


MOUNT SATURN ~ 'O, Great Moon'

Mount Saturn rises from the damp soil of the Pacific Northwest to forge a sound that worships riffs, dabbles in psychedelia, and thrives on grooving heft.


KONVENT ~ 'Call Down The Sun'

DI'AUL ~ 'Abracamacabra'

AS THE WORLD DIES ~ 'Agonist'

Formed by members of Memoriam and Pemphigoid, As The World Dies are among UK’s most promising new bands. Gritty and spiteful, the music rampages mercilessly hearkening back to the era of Bolt Thrower, Grave and the like.
