White Medal – Agbrigg Beast
Black Metal is dead. In the UK at least. Seeing as though it is the place that gave birth to the genre it is as fuckin' useless a broke-dick dog. There is no scene to speak of, just the odd one or two equally useless bands trying in vain to mimic some of the more 'popular' bands and their styles.... More »
Blooddawn – The Enlightenment
Coming from the same city as Black Metal founders Venom will always produce high expectations. Although Blooddawn's previous release was pretty chaotic this plants a heavily booted kick up its arse and marks a significant progression for the band ...and meets the expectations of the Black Metal public. Hostilities begin with a minute of electronic-sounding machine guns blazing, then a hefty... More »
Blooddawn – Funeral (For A Despised Icon)
This is brutal, chaotic Black Metal from the UK. Worth checking out for fans of Marduk and Anaal Nathrakh. Fast and angry, like a nuclear blast ripping through everything with a Balrog on vocals. Six tracks, one is a cover of Panzer Division Marduk. If you need to annihilate something get this slapped on at maximum volume, sit back and... More »
Whorethorn Interview
Reviewing Whorethorn's 2009 Split was a new experience for me. It left questions floating around in my mind and the urge to find out more about the ideas behind the music. We invoked the creator of this harshness and within seconds the disturbingly scornful and articulate Malphas materialised at the furnace core and spoke. What's the meaning in the name... More »
Blooddawn Interview
Black Metal, as we know it, was invented in the cold, grim Northeast of England. As if you didn't know Venom are responsible. Hailing from the city of Newcastle it remains their, my native region's and England's most treasured gift to the world. Since then no other band in this corner of England has thrived in the dank caves of... More »
Whorethorn – Split 2009
Whorethorn is the creation of Malphas. Hailing from Manchester in England and active since 2005 they've had six releases to the name already, three of them from this year! A full length came out through Salute Records at the beginning of the year (2009) followed by two demos. I'd heard the songs on Whorethorn's myspace before and enjoyed them but... More »
Funeral Throne – Nihil Sine Diabolvs
There was once a time when England pioneered metal music. From Black Sabbath to Iron Maiden to Venom such bands were the cutting edge of the underground. Then, as extreme music progressed and Black Metal's second wave rolled in England was swept away with the tide. I know Cradle of Filth were about and I'll even admit to enjoying their... More »

January 3, 2011 | 01:10
Opening with a song title of the length Bal Sagoth would be proud of (thankfully that’s as the only comparison to draw), the imaginatively titled ‘A Glimpse of the Image of Lucifer Gleaming Beyond the Subterraneous Black Sun’ marches forth. Mid paced, it stamps away with the precision of a well oiled Black Metal machine [...]- More From the Depths... »
