If there is one thing that can be said of Birmingham’s Morgue Orgy it’s that they don’t take...

Eryn Non Dae – Meliora
Anyone who follows my writings knows that I’m an avid fan and supporter of French metal, so when I got approached by the Eryn Non Dae guys to review their latest album I didn’t hesitate for a second. At the time I was pretty...
Read MoreCauls – EP 2
Three records in and Cauls from Newcastle in the north east of England are really beginning to hit their stride. Hot on the back of 2011’s pair of two-track EPs ‘If Bored Pull Tab Marked Tab’ and ‘Crave Divan’, the somewhat...
Read Moredropbunny – IO
“IO” by dropbunny is unlike anything I’ve heard in a long time. It’s harsh, heavy, intelligent, ever changing and unsettling; light acoustic sections give way to detuned heavy parts, which then defer to atmospheric soundscapes,...
Read MoreAdolf Plays The Jazz – Form Follows Function
With a name like Adolf Plays The Jazz, this band was always going to be, well, a little out of the ordinary. “Form Follows Function” is their fourth album since forming in 2002, but it’s the first one I’ve come across; and jolly...
Read MoreBateman – Ultra Violence
It’s always a bit difficult to gauge a band – especially a new or unknown band – on the strength of a four-track EP alone. However, if Australian hardcore unit Bateman are as ferocious and heavy on stage as they are on this EP...
Read MoreGodhunter – Wolves
Unbearable tension in barely restrained riffs, pounding, constant war beats, a thundering, all encompassing bass walks and vocals that roar with conviction all serve to inform that Godhunter are serious about what they do....
Read MoreIn Cages – In Cages
New Jersey four-piece In Cages have added to the traditional rock set –up with cellist Filomena Jack. The cello, I feel, is an excellent, possibly under-used rock instrument. It has a deep, mournful quality, suited to certain...
Read MoreScythe – Beware The Scythe
The revival in the fortunes of Death Metal over the last few years has been largely due to the scene taking the path of innovation. It’s no accident that the sub-genre within the sub-genre of ancient, occult death metal has...
Read MorePulseve – Magnet
There are many surprises contained in Pulseve’s debut E.P. “Magnet”, not least the fact that the band is a duo; and a drum and bass duo at that. But drums and bass are the rhythm section, right? In reality, the sound is...
Read MoreBlue Gillespie – Seven Rages Of Man
This is one of the hardest reviews I’ve had to write, and I’m not sure quite why. I think it’s because this album is really tough to listen to, and it’s important to say that that is not because...
Read MoreDerelict Sermon – Callousness And Defiance
Experimental music, I’m all for it. It triggers the imagination, pushes the creative envelope and it keeps musical genres alive and relevant. Coming from a hard rock and metal background I don’t have anything against bands like...
