Anna Pest – ‘Dark Arms Reach Skyward With Bone White Fingers’ 1 January 2021 – Self released Words: Mark Green One person heavy metal acts don’t get the recognition they deserve sometimes. Sometimes the masterminds behind these acts can’t verbally explain to others what their vision is. So, if you […]
Asphyx – ‘Necroceros’ 22 January 2021 – Century Media Words: Mark Green I’ve always considered Dutch deathsters Asphyx to create the kind of music to accompany some kind of evil ritual with regular frenzied beatings in between. Now more than 30 years in the game with numerous death metal releases […]
This Is Turin – ‘T.U.R.I.N’ EP Friday 12 February 2021 Words: Mark Green There’s nothing like hearing an underground UK death metal band for the first time and knowing in that first instance they have ‘it’. That is what This Is Turin have. They have ‘it’ and then some. These […]
Gatecreeper – ‘An Unexpected Reality’ 13 January 2021 Words: Mark Green Hailing from Arizona, these chaps have already released numerous EP’s and albums since their inception in 2013.

Resistor ‘Chapter Three: Through Open Sky’ EP 15 January 2021 – Mangoe Records Words: Mark Green Hailing from Long Island, New York, heavy reprobates Resistor have only been together since 2018 and have had their eyes on the prize since day one.

Fractal Generator – ‘Macrocosmos’ Everlasting Spew Records – 15 January 2021 Words: Mark Green I had never heard of Canadian crushers Fractal Generator until now. Now, they are etched into the depths of my music riddled brain. Following up from 2015’s stellar, but somewhat unknown, debut album ‘Apotheosythesis‘, the band have upped the ante and […]
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BRIAN WHEAT- ‘SON OF A MILKMAN’ MY CRAZY LIFE WITH TESLA.. As Brian Wheat admits himself he can sometimes come across as stand offish and distant, but he is ‘the asshole’ that kept the band together, that band being Tesla, multi platinum selling artists known as […]
THE DEAD DAISIES – HOLY GROUND The first album from The Dead Daisies since Glenn Hughes joined them on vocals and bass, such a dramatic change of lead singer was always going to have a dramatic effect on the sound of the album. Glenn is such a force of […]
