B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged, warped records
Review: ***B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged, warped records***
Arriving as the tenth full-length LP from the Finnish symphonic metal pioneers Nightwish, Yesterwynde shall serve as the third and final instalment of the trilogy of albums they've crafted with current vocalist Floor Jansen, since the departure of her predecessor Anette Olzon. Following on from Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015) and Human. :II: Nature (2020), as well as Jansen's pop ballad LP Paragon released in 2023, the project promises to boast some of their heaviest and complex compositions to date, while also marking their first without bassist/vocalist Marko Hietala since Century Child (2002), as he would depart the band in 2021. With a self-imposed hiatus planned following release, and no tour dates to speak of, Yesterwynde appears set to provide avid followers with a calculated bookend to their latest era, designed and destined to be poured over and absorbed throughout the coming silence.

Unicursal (gatefold 2xLP + insert + MP3 download code)
Cat: PFL 30666. Rel: 30 May 24
Review: Straight out of Florida, USA, Nocturnus will be a familiar name to any self-respecting metal fan. Bursting onto the scene in 1987, three years later they seminal debut landed, They Key, cementing their status as pioneers of what would go on to be dubbed 'extreme metal' by some. Taking heavy influence from science fiction and a fair share of death metal's sonics, the candle burnt bright but then went out, with the group breaking up just two years later. Reforming for a brief stint, putting out the 1999 LP Ethereal Tomb, by 2002 all would be lost once again. Renaming the group Nocturnus A.D., original member Mike Browning attempted to reinvigorate the project with a different lineup, but even this seemed doomed to fail. That is until 2019, when the record Paradox finally landed. Unicursal is the long-awaited follow up, and hits just as hard.

Beyond The Aeons (gatefold 180 gram "the dusk of vex" marbled vinyl LP + insert)

Review: The brainchild of Olli-Pekka Laine (Amorphis, Barren Earth, Mannhai), Beyond The Aeons marks the debut full-length from psych-death-prog entity Octoploid. Rounding out the line-up with several long-time collaborators including vocalist Mikko Kotamaki (Swallow The Sun) and keyboardist Kim Rantala (formerly of Amorphis), the collective live up to their namesake by pulling from several eras of rock simultaneously with a sonic bedrock built upon 70s prog and psychedelia, 90s death and black metal, as well as the myriad Venn Diagram-like intersections where these styles have crossed paths over the decades. Equal parts King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Opeth, on their debut statement Octoploid deliver a fuzzy, bombastic ode to all things heaving, hypnotising, hefty and hallucinogenic.

Our Condolences (gatefold black & white split coloured vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: SSR 058LPBW. Rel: 27 Feb 25
Review: Born on the 17th of May 1988 and dying in October 1992, Old Funeral were one of the very first Norwegian extreme metal acts on record, before the second wave black metal wave would sweep through Scandinavia. Featuring members of later pioneering acts such as Abbath and Demonaz of Immortal, as well as Varg Vikernes (who would go on to become the one-man band Burzum and murderer of Mayhem's Euronymous), the Our Condolences collection collates every known recording the group ever made, showcasing the earlier chaotic maelstrom of blackened death-thrash experimentation retrospectively required before black metal as we know it today could arise. In traditionalist fashion, these recordings have been in no way remixed, remastered or touched up, this is straight from the original tapes cold, raw harshness in the exact same form it was delivered to unsuspecting listeners decades prior.

Review: Crafted over years, Rebirth encapsulates Old Gods Of Asgard's decades-spanning creativity as eminent collaborators with the video game industry. Over the years, the Old Gods have woven a tapestry of sound in conjunction with such indie titles as Alan Wake and Control, which now takes full retroactive form in this Greatest Hits record. A barrage of rock 'n' roll anthems that could grind rocks to dust and pulverize hotel rooms, the band's thunderous drumbeats and scorching guitar riffs ignite a fire within, while the vocals soar to celestial heights, invoking an undeniable euphoria. A numinous experience if we've ever heard one, this new Insomniac edition is a testament to the indomitable Odinist spirit of the Old Gods.

Review: Originally founded in 1982, Bristol thrash metal legends Onslaught are considered to be one of the UK's so-called "big four" along with Xentrix, Sabbat and Acid Reign, while their sophomore effort The Force from 1986 is often regarded as a worldwide, stone cold thrash classic. Originally inspired by frenetic hardcore punk acts such as The Exploited and Discharge, the band would eventually adopt a hardcore-shaped speed metal assault that would be perfected following the arrival of vocalist Sy Keeler, allowing Paul Mahoney who provided vocals on their 1985 debut Power From Hell to switch to bass duties. Keeler would depart following issues with the label regarding his performance on the band's follow up third record In Search Of Sanity, released in 1989, yet he would make a triumphant return with the rest of the members for the dawn of their new era on 2007's Killing Spree.

Review: Originally released in 2003 as the companion piece to the preceding year's equally acclaimed Deliverance, the seventh full-length from renowned Swedish progressive death metal auteurs, Opeth, would mark their first unashamed wade into the waters of retro prog-rock, whilst opting to eschew essentially all metallic machinations. Embracing primary songwriter Mikael Akerfeldt's lush clean vocals, while sonically delving into delicate atmospherics elevated by the prominent use of a mellotron, Damnation has grown in the two decades since its initial release to become a much lauded fan favourite, with many being able to appreciate the sharp turn the group took while noting the reflective balance contrasted against its much more macabre sister album. From the opening notes of essential cut 'Windowpane' onwards, you're pulled into a frosted world of depressive romanticism where the only way out is through. Celebrating its 20 year anniversary with a long overdue reissue, this is a work designed to be spun and absorbed in all its haunting majesty.

Heritage (limited numbered gatefold 180 gram audiophile translucent red & black marbled vinyl 2xLP + poster + booklet + insert)
Cat: MOVLP 3830C. Rel: 19 Feb 25
Review: Originally released in 2011 as follow up to 2008's stellar career height Watershed, the tenth full-length from Swedish progressive death metal legends Opeth marked a notable turn, which the members had been desiring to take for some time. Heritage would be their first album since 2003's melancholic Damnation to completely eschew vocalist/guitarist/primary songwriter Mikael Akerfeldt's signature death growls, yet this decision wasn't so much in service of this one particular project as had been so in the past. Rather, this was the sign that the Scandinavian death metal elements of their core sound were ready to be laid to rest in favour of an embrace of the 70s prog rock the members grew up idolising. Drawing on the likes of Genesis, Yes and Rush, whilst allowing Akerfeldt's smooth cadence to lead the pieces, this is vintage, jazzy, complex yet undeniably groovy retro progressive rock of the classic era, complete with fuzzed out guitar lines, bizarre time signatures and an abundance of Hammond organ. Somewhat maligned by some of the fanbase while others lauded the brave and natural change in direction, this style would become the standard Opeth sonic aesthetic up until 2024's latest album The Last Will & Testament, which saw a return to their heavier death metal origins.

My Arms Your Hearse (half speed remastered) (gatefold transparent blue vinyl 2xLP with obi-strip)
Cat: CANDLE 331908. Rel: 01 Jun 23
Review: The third album from the Swedish prog-metal auteurs served as their first endeavour following the replacement of drummer Anders Nordin with Martin Lopez, while proving that their newfound departure into ethereal waters weaved around their reliable gothic death metal machinations was no mere one-off. Distinguishing itself from its seminal predecessor, Morningrise, by restricting all tracks to below the ten-minute mark (an accomplishment for a group notorious for their eschewing of brevity), the expansive tracklist which includes fan favourites such as 'Demon Of The Fall', would cement Opeth as leaders of a new artistic nuanced form of prog-death which they have continued to refine over the ensuing decades since.

Review: Marking their first album in five years and follow up to 2019's criminally overlooked In Cauda Venenum, Swedish progressive death metal legends Opeth return with their fourteenth full-length The Last Will & Testament. Marking the return of vocalist/guitarist/primary songwriter Mikael Akerfeldt's signature death growls; the first project to feature the inhumane bellows since 2008's Watershed, the work is the band's first concept album since 1999's Still Life, with the narrative based around a wealthy, mysterious patriarch in the post-World War I era whose death leads his family to congregate at his estate to learn horrific secrets as his last will and testament is unveiled. Whilst retracing some of their gloomier, more macabre sonics, musically the compositions continue to embrace the 70's psychedelia of Heritage and Sorceress yet with a notable rediscovery of their harrowing, frosted death metal origins.

Still Life (25th Anniversary Edition) (red & black splattered vinyl 2xLP + booklet + insert)
Cat: VILELP 1136. Rel: 07 Nov 24
Review: Originally released in 1999 and celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Still Life served as the fourth full-length from Swedish progressive metal titans Opeth, while marking their first project with bassist Martin Mendez (the second-longest-serving member after primary songwriter Mikael Akerfeldt). Another concept album following on from 1998's predecessor My Arms, Your Hearse, the narrative details an anti-Christian sentiment of a man ostracised from his village due to a perceived lack of faith, only to return years later to be with his love. It's here where things turn very grim and complex, whilst the narrative is further bolstered by the compositional intricacies, weaving frosted Scandinavian death metal around lush prog-folk harmonies. Reissued on splattered vinyl and spread across a double LP set, the album remains a strong favourite across the devout Opeth camps of the world.

Ghost Reveries (reissue) (limited numbered 180 gram audiophile silver & black marbled vinyl 2xLP + poster + booklet)
Cat: MOVLP 2269S. Rel: 07 May 25
Review: Originally released in 2005 and celebrating its 20th anniversary, Ghost Reveries would serve as the eighth full-length from Swedish progressive metal legends Opeth. Following the 2002/2003 two-part project which showcased their most malevolent form on Deliverance and then a resolutely pleasant prog rock opus with Damnation, this follow up sought to rectify one side with the other; coalescing into a masterwork which simultaneously was regarded by longtime fans as a career height, whilst the expanded distribution from signing with major label Roadrunner opened them up to an entire new wave of unsuspecting ears. Marking their first album since 1999's Still Life to not be produced by Porcupine Tree's Steve Wilson, instead duties fell to Jens Bogren (Katatonia, At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir) who helped Mikael Akerfeldt and his cohorts to rediscover their death metal origins yet channelled through their more melancholic sensibilities. Boasting some of their most vital pieces from the epic 10-minute opener 'Ghost Of Perdition', to the even lengthier fan favourite 'Reverie/Harlequin Forest', as well as the equally adored 'The Grand Conjuration', the album has long since been held aloft as the perfect modern entry point to the world of Opeth. The project would also be the first to include keyboardist Per Wiberg as a "permanent" member while serving as their final endeavour to feature both drummer Martin Lopez and long-time guitarist Peter Lindgren.

Review: Led by the incomparable Sami Albert "Witchfinder" Hynninen (Reverend Bizarre, The Puritan, The Candles Burning Blue), Opium Warlords are the lo-fi, sultry, genre-less playground where all of the sonic auteurs most insightful and bizarre predilections come to life. Described as an audible melting pot of "pussy techno, sludge, industrial pop, hardcore punk, drone, shamanistic pulse, noise, heavy metal, old school gothic rock and march music", Strength is the sixth full-length from the mysterious project which essentially guarantees from the outset that you're entering into an utter mess of ideas, yet reliably reigned into one cohesive vision. While compared to the oppressive gloom of 2020's Nembutal, the material here benefits from brighter synths and glossier production yet underpinned with a macabre and alienating dissection of Machiavellian and Nietzschean philosophies of strength and elitism. That's when the lyrics aren't directly pulled from the back of shampoo bottles. Confused? Good, that's the only requirement for entry

Review: Returning with their first album in six years, homegrown stoner/psych metal legends Orange Goblin follow up 2018's filthy The Wolf Bites Back with their tenth full-length LP Science, Not Fiction. The project marks the first of their tenure to not feature original bassist Martyn Millard, who amicably departed in 2020, with founding vocalist Ben Ward, guitarist Joe Hoare and drummer Chris Turner now joined by Harry Armstrong, making his on-record debut with the goblin, while their newly penned deal with reliably excellent metal imprint Peaceville, appears to have lit a major fire up their arse and in their belly, with a rejuvenated collection of bluesy, grooving, nasty bangers that see Ward let loose in quite the articulated manner his growing frustrations and concerns with an increasingly hostile and ugly world.

Review: Ozzy Osbourne remains a rock behemoth. Number 9 is The Prince of Darkness's 11th solo studio album and one that finds the heavy metal singer and former Black Sabbath frontman in fine form after a big performance at the closing Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in his native Birmingham recently. He has a big team of top collaborators along for the ride such as Jeff Beck, late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins and Eric Clapton. It is his second solo album in two years and word is there is a new studio being built at his Grade II listed UK pile so expect much more to come.

Diary Of A Madman (limited red marbled vinyl LP)
Cat: 194398 83391. Rel: 26 Nov 21
Review: RECOMMENDED
You can almost feel Ozzy Osbourne's determination to prove critics wrong on his solo work from this era. Diary of a Madman was released in 1981, just three years after the Prince of Darkness was thrown out of Black Sabbath due to the extent of his drink and drug problems. It should go without saying you have to take things pretty far to wind up an evictee from one of heavy metal's most full-throttle outfits. Nevertheless, it happened, so by the time this record arrived there was a clear desire to show people that was a temporary setback.
At the same time, there's also an element of sending himself - and that reputation - up here, preempting the comic book caricature of Evil Ozzy we would come to recognise, and love, in later years. Musically, it's as it should be - atmospheric, eerie, and packed with the classical-leaning guitar work of the late, great Randy Rhoads. 3million copies sold and counting, say no more.

Review: Recorded in Montreal, Quebec in 1981 whilst touring his sophomore solo endeavour Diary Of A Madman, this live LP from the former/current/former (?) Black Sabbath frontman serves up an iconic slice of very-much-in-his-prime metallic rock mayhem. Featuring timeless staples such as 'I Don't Know', 'Crazy Train', 'Mr. Crowley', and even finishing with an electrifying cover of 'Paranoid' (greatly embellished by Ozzy's secret weapon throughout the 80s - guitar virtuoso Randy Rhodes), this LP serves as a high watermark live collection from the Prince of Darkness.

This forced upon lengthy gestation period culminated in a more tempered and analytical compositional approach entering into Mind Burns Alive; a work the members are confident will truly surprise listeners, remarking that while its predecessor offered a noxious potion of almost every sonic guise the band have adorned until now, from hefty sludge to saccharine post-doom, their upcoming fifth full-length promises to challenge both themselves and avid fans in equal measure.

Review: While many would chalk California's Papa Roach up to being another flash-in-the-pan late 90s/early 00s nu-metal outfit who had a few major singles and nothing more, dig a little deeper and their consistency and longevity makes them quite the exception to the rule when compared to their once peers in other forgotten groups such as Spineshank. Gearing up for what will be their 12th full-length studio album to be released later in 2025, serving as follow up to 2022's Ego Trip, the band have opted to reissue their much adored ninth LP Crooked Teeth. Originally released in 2017, the record has been praised for its sonic balancing between the more radio-rock oriented sound of their latter-day output and the dusting off of their rap-metal "old school" style prevalent on cuts such as the lead single title-track that swings from grooving hard rock to full on digitally produced rap bars, while a further signalling to their past selves in the modern era comes from the guest feature by hip-hop/pop-punk/pop star Machine Gun Kelly on 'Sunrise Trailer Park'.

Review: Patriarkh (formerly Batushka) can most succinctly be described as "Orthodox black metal", with their haunting fusion of blackened doom metal married to neo-folk elements including use of a vast array of instruments such as tagelharpa, mandolin, mandocello, hurdy gurdy and stringed dulcimer, as well as the inclusion of a symphony orchestra and choir. Returning over half a decade since 2019's Hospodi, their third full-length Prophet Ilja tells the true story that happened in the band's home area of Podlasie, in the village of Grzybowszczyzna, in the 1930s and 40s, detailing the world of Eliasz Klimowicz, the titular Prophet Ilja, an illiterate peasant who was the leader of the Orthodox Grzybowska Sect, active until the 1960s, cultivating and transmitting the history of the self-proclaimed prophet. Drawing on the myriad forms of Orthodox music, pulling from Byzantine monody, liturgical chant and Russian polyphony, whilst neatly adapting folk and liturgical melodies into their blackened sonic maelstrom, while lyrically delving into texts from the theatre play "Prorok Ilja" and drawing from the messages contained in the works of Wlodzimierz Pawluczuk, the heightened sense of theatrical pastoralism, period accurate aesthetic, and head-melting sonics provide a uniquely religious black metal experience unlike anything else the scene has ever heard, past or present. No corpse paint here, we're afraid.

Flickering Resonance (gatefold orange vinyl 2xLP (side 4 etched))
Cat: RFC 283LPC4. Rel: 15 May 25
Review: Dense, brooding riffs, macro-melodic tidal waves... Pelican's signature blend of post-metal-sludge is a piscine gulping of tsnuami-sound. Formed in the proverbially thalassic sonic expanse of Chicago, this band flocked together in 2000 at the core whim of guitarists Trevor Shelley de Brauw and Laurent Schroeder-Lebec. Radically, Pelican initially described their approach to music creation as "rule-free", mirroring the perception of 1990s Chicago as a barbaric "free-for-all" in which an empty beaker of potential was confronted, and partially refilled, by the oceanic outpouring that was experimental post-rock. Long after their debut Australasia (2003) and career-migrations such as City Of Echoes and Arktika, came Flickering Resonance (2022), a record which was deemed to reflect a more "humanistic side of the band." The bleak landscapes evoked on 'Cascading Crescent' and 'Indelible' are no discourager for this band; they still maintain cavalcades of riffing stridencies and amphibious drumming.

Review: Considered to be one of "the big four of doom metal" along with Candlemass, Saint Vitus, and Trouble; Alexandria, Virginia's Pentagram are metallic royalty who helped to pioneer the sound laid out in a blueprint by Black Sabbath across the 70s. While active in the underground scene during this decade and taking influences and turning them into experiments in real time, when their first official albums would eventually release in the 80s, the band had already become the project of sole original member Bobby Liebling, who has since been accompanied by a varying array of musicians throughout their decades-spanning tenure. 2004's Show 'Em How is a late-stage example of this formula with Liebling backed by members of Maryland stoner-doom outfit Eternal Void who helped to re-instil some of the menacing malevolence somewhat absent from their 21st century output up to this point. As usual with Pentagram releases, there's a unique spine description, which reads "Further infections to feed your disease." Nice.

Review: Having recently struck internet-age meme-gold thanks to iconic frontman (and sole original member) Bobby Liebling's iconic, seemingly "drugged out" gaze whilst performing live on stage, there really could be no more ample time for doom metal pioneers Pentagram to be releasing a new album. Returning a full decade on from 2015's Curious Volume, the band's ninth full-length Lightning In A Bottle offers up yet another entirely new revitalised lineup featuring guitarist/producer Tony Reed (Mos Generator, Big Scenic Nowhere), drummer Henry Vasquez (Legions of Doom, Saint Vitus, Blood of the Sun) and bassist Scooter Haslip (Mos Generator, Saltine), while the decades of performing, touring and admitted drug addiction have done little to dilute Liebling's looming presence and powerful vocal cadence. Unmistakeably still Pentagram, complete with heaving grooves and occult charisma, the material doesn't simply rethread past glories, but makes a vital case for the band's inarguable place in the doom metal cosmos, with Liebling balancing his aura with sobering introspection of his own years of opioid abuse on standout cuts such as 'Dull Pain' or the haunting 'Lady Heroin', where he ponders - "Lady Heroin, have I seen the last of you?" We hope so, Bobby, but we hope to see plenty more of you eyeballing fans in the front row whilst getting your macabre groove on.

This unholy alliance of metal heavyweights, including Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage), Matthew K.

Produced by Sam George (Pick Up Goliath), the music conjures a dark and atmospheric world, where crushing riffs and soaring vocals intertwine with intricate guitar work and thunderous drumming. This is no mere tribute; it's a full-blown metal exorcism, a testament to the power of video game music to transcend its original context and inspire new creative heights.

It is their fifth in just 10 years and is a powerful statement that is packed with some of their most potent work in an already storied career. The Newcastle-based quintet, fortified by their own individual passions, held up mirrors to themselves in writing this one.

Compared to pioneering gore and blasphemy-obsessed acts such as Cannibal Corpse and Deicide, the band continue to refine their abrasive, audible assault of crunching riffage, Morse Code blastbeats and unintelligible gutturals, whilst leaning every further into their "real world" depictions of inhumane violence, refraining from the fantasy elements of many of their peers, with guitarist Tim Mellon even clarifying their unpleasant ethos - "The overall aesthetic is reality-based death. Pissgrave are rooted in reality rather than fantasy. Images of violent, offensive death are what is necessary to portray us musically and visually." Lovely.

It is a wild and visceral ride through some thrash metal chords, intense drums and guttural vocals that raise utter hell and come at you in waves of larger-than-life sound. Essentially it is as good as metalcore gets with catchy melodic choruses and heavy riffs and screams.

Negative Spaces (trifold clear & pink marbled vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: SUM 3253. Rel: 12 Dec 24
Review: Following only one year after 2023's critically acclaimed Zig, avant-pop-metal genre-denier Poppy (real name Moriah Pereira) returns with a direct successor which many fans initially and understandably presumed to be titled Zag. Having featured on albums by both the accessible pop-leaning Virgina based metalcore outfit Bad Omens and the far more vicious Kentucky metallic hardcore greats in the making Knocked Loose (which featured her most caustic vocals to date) in the past year, Negative Spaces attempts to eschew the more stripped-down restraint of 2021's Justin Meldal-Johnsen-produced Flux with a total sensory overload of digi-pop chaos. Working with producer Jordan Fish who recently departed from his intrinsic role within Bring Me The Horizon, the duo have seemingly intertwined approaches, dynamics and abilities to complement each other's tastes and carve out soundscapes that equally and simultaneously prioritise pop song structures, industrial harshness and hyperpop maximalism, yet all united under the mercurial presence of Poppy's multi-faceted characteristic cadences.

Negative Spaces (limited trifold white & pink blend vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: SUM 3305. Rel: 12 Dec 24
Review: Returning just one year on from 2023's Zig (with what many initially presumed to be titled Zag), Moriah Pereira, better known as Poppy, delivers her sixth full-length LP Negative Spaces. Fresh off of appearances on both the new Bad Omens and Knocked Loose albums, with the latter marking her most unhinged vocal performance to date, this latest work seeks to strike a balance between her established digi-metal-pop formula and more outsider experimentations in both regards to heavier delivery and more complex electronica. Produced by former Bring Me The Horizon producer/keyboardist/programming wizard Jordan Fish, the not-so-strange bedfellows compliment each other majorly with Fish's ear for the sonic coalescence of metallic and industrial soundscapes within glistening pop structures providing an ample playground for Poppy to stretch her vocal cadences and multi-faceted character dynamics to enthralling new heights. This limited indie exclusive pressing arrives on a trifold pink & white split-coloured vinyl.

Closure/Continuation (white vinyl 2xLP in spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: 194399 56931. Rel: 23 Jun 22
Review: 12 years. Twelve years. T-WELVE YEARS! It's been a decade plus two since Porcupine Tree bowed out with a spectacular One Last Job at London's Royal Albert Hall. There are few venues as fitting as that statesman of a concert hall for a band that sound like this. The English troupe have always been about these huge sounds, chords soaring above your head, riffs blazing, while tracks always threatening - and often following through - to veer off the straight and narrow into more experimental prog moods.
Now they're back with a much-anticipated, and long-delayed, comeback record. The question is, then, does it live up to expectations? The answer, thankfully, is yes, and then some. Closure/Continuation brings the crew's sound bang up to date, without forgetting who they are and always have been. It's a thing of beauty, but also thunderous power when it wants to unleash it.

Live In Seattle 05/28/2018 (limited black & red splattered vinyl LP + poster (indie exclusive))
Cat: LORD 303LPX. Rel: 27 Jun 23
Review: Recorded in Seattle at Neumos on May 28, 2018, this release will forever remain living proof of how potent and feral crossover thrash heroes Power Trip were in a live setting. With the tragic and untimely passing of legendary frontman Riley Gale just two years later in 2020, this time capsule features the group at the height of their energy ripping through cuts from their intense debut LP Manifest Decimation, as well as the more refined cult classic Nightmare Logic. Vicious, tight and impressively clear, Live In Seattle is an essential cop for those wishing to experience the band's aural heft in its ideal form, and for those lucky enough to ever catch Power Trip on this run, who desire a means to be transported back for one last swing of the axe.

In 1997 it welcomed Primus to play their own festival and Broadcast Live At Rockpalast Open Air Festival 1997 is a recrding of what went down from the prog rock greats.

Frizzle Fry was critically well received and saw some great underground success which led to interest from major record labels. Plenty of their early tunes appear on this great live recording.

Condition Human (reissue) (gatefold 2xLP)
Cat: NPR 1132VINYL. Rel: 16 Feb 23
Review: Progressive metal legends, Queensryche, pulled off the unthinkable with their fourteenth full-length, 'Condition Human'. The second album to feature vocalist Todd La Torre, after the dramatic firing and subsequent lawsuit brought by former frontman Geoff Tate, served as a reinvigorated rebirth, with many regarding the project to be easily the finest output from the group in the 21st century. Lengthier, more technical and brimming with seasoned chops, 2015 marked a major return to form which the band would capitalise further upon with 2019's, 'The Verdict'. No better time to revisit a modern essential before the imminent arrival of the much hyped, 'Digital Noise Alliance.'

Review: Not be confused with UK rock act Quill featuring the legendary Jeff Lynne (ELO, Black Sabbath, The Move), Swedish stoner rock heroes The Quill have been an active entity within the realms of Scandinavian hard rock and metal since the early 90s. Returning with their highly anticipated 11th full-length and follow up to 2021's Earthrise, the current locked in line up of original vocalist Magnus Ekwall, who would depart the band in 2007 before rejoining in 2016, along with Christian Carlsson (Cirkus Prutz) on guitar, Roger Nilsson (Spiritual Beggars, Arch Enemy, Firebird) on bass, and drummer Jolle Atlagic (Hanoi Rocks, Electric Boys, Firebird), are at a stage where crafting the most sprawling variety of metallic magic is their primary concern, with Wheel Of Time conjuring elements of stoner rock, doom metal, psych, prog and even saccharine dollops of melodious AOR for all you Dad-Rockers out there.

Review: Returning with their heftiest and most malevolent work to date, Desolation's Flower marks the fourth full-length from the Oakland based queer blackened screamo-sludge two-piece Ragana. Their first effort upon signing with extreme purveyors of underground ugliness The Flenser (home to caustic noise-rock titans Chat Pile and ecstatic black metal newcomers Agriculture), the LP serves as a creative rebirth following their longest gap between projects yet, with their preceding third LP You Take Nothing arriving back in 2017. Continuing their grim excavation into hideous sonic malaise, yet with an expanded palette of grooving doom, frenetic screamo-violence and heaving sludge metal ripped right from the banks of the bayou, this is a thick, dense, murky gaze into a void that spits back eternal blackness.

Out Of The Cellar (40th Anniversary Edition) (limited black & red splattered vinyl LP + neon orange vinyl 7" in lenticular sleeve)

Review: Originally released in 1984 and celebrating its 40th anniversary with this lush black & red splattered vinyl reissue, Out Of The Cellar was the debut full-length from glam metal staple Ratt, often listed in the pantheon of pioneering hair-centric rockers along with Poison and Warrant. Their highest charting album, certified triple Platinum in the US, boasts easily their biggest hit single with 'Round & Round', while also offering some equally adored fan favourites such as 'Wanted Man' and 'Lack Of Communication'. This anniversary edition also comes complete with a bonus neon orange vinyl 7" featuring the unreleased B-side bonus track 'Reach For The Sky', recorded during the band's 1983 album sessions.

Review: The Fear Is Excruciating But Therein Lies The Answer... an arresting sentiment from the band Red Sparowes. The LA-based instrumental post-rock band match the mood of this statement with their third album; yet another take on their epic, cinematic, sweeping soundworld. Just eight instrumentals, from 'Truths Arise' to 'As Each End Looms and Subsides', get at both gargantuan and close-up acoustic spaces, unifying them with a singular emotion we all know: dread.

Review: Following on from their crushing 2020 EP, 'Beneath the Canopy of Compost', New York/New Jersey based death-doom new schoolers, Reeking Aura, deliver a punishing, pummelling blend of grandiosity and fury on their debut full-length, 'Blood & Bonemeal.' A concept album detailing the "caretaker of a desolate agricultural property and that person's struggles with morbid psychosis," this is a ferocious blend of doomscaping and death metal brutality, elevated by a three-pronged lead guitar assault. Ambitious and desolate in equal measure, with the cavernous and corrupt colliding in abrasive cacophony, this is essential metal extremity for the most hardened of audible masochists.

In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend: Commentary (DVD)
Review: With its title paying homage to the seminal 1969 King Crimson album In the Court of the Crimson King, the debut full-length from Finnish doom metal maestros Reverend Bizarre has become a quintessential cornerstone of the movement in the two decades since its initial release. Clocking in at a mammoth 74 minutes with epic cuts such as 'Sodoma Sunrise' running over 13 minutes as well as the gargantuan 21 minute closer 'Cirith Ungol', this is Black Sabbath worship interspliced with moments of macabre grandiosity which have become staples of 21st century psychedelic doom revival. While the group would disband after only three LPs before working on a myriad of later projects together, In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend still serves as not only an iconic debut, but a perfect entry point into the doomsphere.

II: Crush The Insects (limited gatefold translucent red vinyl 2xLP in spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: SVR 082LPREB4. Rel: 20 Jun 24
Review: Modern Finnish doom metal legends Reverend Bizarre only released three full-lengths during their tenure which ran for just over a decade from 1995-2007, and how they were full to the brim, often nearly exceeding the runtime of a CD. Following on from 2002's epic debut In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend (yes, that is a King Crimson reference), 2005's II: Crush The Insects boasted a more upbeat approach to their fuzzed-out, psych-tinged doomgazing machinations, with original copies of the album even bearing a sticker that referred to the trio as "The Biggest Sell-Out in True Doom". Known for having its 21 minute lead single 'Slave of Satan' cut down to 13 minutes in order to fit on the LP, this marks one of the rare instances where a band's single version exceeds the length of their album version. Coming courtesy of leading metal label Svart, this translucent red 2xLP reissue offers doomers, new and old, the chance to plumb the depths of one of the most quintessential doom acts to ever rear their sludgy head.

ID Entity (limited gatefold 180 gram orange vinyl 2xLP + insert)
Cat: 196587 69541. Rel: 19 Jan 23
Review: Polish prog rockers Riverside have seen some things in their time, and stuff. Now in their third decade, the outfit have borne witness to seismic changes in their homeland. 30 years ago, it was just emerging from half a century of dictatorial Soviet rule. Skip to today, and the country is part of the EU - more than can be said for some - and, until the invasion of Ukraine at the hands of Vladimir Putin, was one of Central-Eastern Europe's stronger economies in the Covid era.
Suffice to say, a lot has changed even since then, and ID Entity can in many ways be taken as a record that bookends different periods. Yes, the outfit have always had one foot in a retro-hued synth-guitar sound, but here that's expanded on, with lyrics worthy of the Plain English Campaign's Crystal Mark. A record made to encourage reflection - both of oneself, and the wider world.

Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls & The Systematic Dehumanization Of Cool (reissue) (gatefold 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP + booklet)
Cat: MOVLP 3831. Rel: 07 Jan 25
Review: If you've ever heard Rob Zombie's account of why his parents left their life with a travelling carnival, taking their two young sons with them, then his obsession with gore and visceral horror begins to make sense. Shots fired, people's faces being smashed apart with hammers. A full blown riot complete with burning tents. A cinema-worthy redneck vision of a hyperlocal apocalypse. Of course, his love of blood and guts and the undead has evolved since then, with a slew of cult movies behind him, not to mention all those huge album successes that came beforehand, both with and without the band that catapulted him into the spotlight, White Zombie. Hillbilly Deluxe 2 is his fourth solo LP, and the first to be recorded with his full touring band, as oppose to session musicians. It's loud. It's heavy. It's unequivocally Rob Zombie.

Empros continues the heavy, melodic journey from 2009's Geneva as it blends crushing rhythms and intense soundscapes reminiscent of Godflesh, Swans, and Neurosis.

Highlights include the epic '309"' and the dynamic 'Mladek'' which are a perfect fusion of brutality and melody.

Review: Often credited alongside the likes of Testament and Death Angel as one of the most integral groups of the thrash metal second wave, Phoenix, Arizona's Sacred Reich originally disbanded in 2000, four years on from their at-the-time swan song fourth LP Heal. While the band would reform in 2006 to embark on numerous legacy tours, it would be 23 years until they'd return to the studio to deliver their 2019 comeback Awakening (which marked the first recorded output without original guitarist Jason Rainey who tragically passed away in 2020). It's due to this persistent reforming and adding to their legacy, that in hindsight, Heal has absorbed a stable credence for serving as the initial full stop on the band's original tenure, complete with the OG line up. Reissued on lush red & orange marbled vinyl, the ever-reliable archive keepers at Metal Blade continue to remain as on the pulse as ever with regard to the insatiable appetites of collector's constantly scanning label rosters for overdue represses.

Review: No, not that Sade is the first thing to note or you will very much be in for a shock. This Sade is a gloomy metal band made up of Andrew Pozzy on vocals, guitars, piano, synth, Silvia on bass, backing vocals and Matt Sade on drums and pads with Maurizio Baggio also going for some additional guitar and synth work. This album has been informed by the pandemic and brings all new darkness to the band's sound. Dark-wave and goth moods pervade the tracks which all lay out a pessimistic and nihilistic view of the human condition.

Review: Saltpig are the cross-continental psychedelic duo of US singer and multi-instrumentalist Mitch Davis and Italian drummer Fabio Alessandrini (ex-Annihilator), and together they've crafted a self-titled debut as tart as their moniker. Pulling from retro psych fuzzed out bluesy desert rock, yet interspliced with avant-garde prog noodling, and even forays into the sludgy, heftier side of proto-doom metal; the pair conjure a Venn Diagram style of intersectionality between the genre's early roots and more menacing modernised approach. Lengthy instrumental dirges are broken up by Davis' esoteric croon, while a lysergic hue weaves around the hypnagogic sonic tapestries like the passing of initial nausea before the overwhelming come up.
