Review: Phantomimea arrives through Loma Vista Recordings and is a brilliant new five-track cover EP from Ghost. Each and every tune is epic in its own way with material by Television, Genesis, The Stranglers, Iron Maiden and Tina Turner all chewed up and sat out in their own inimitable way. Though some of these sources are rather unlikely given Ghost's style they are all reworked with great respect. Ghost is in a great run of form having just won Best Rock Album of the Year at the iHeart Radio Music Awards, which itself came off last year's international chart-topping success Impera.

Phantomime (limited translucent tan vinyl 12" (indie exclusive))
Cat: LVR 3376. Rel: 19 May 23
Review: A fresh, rare EP by Swedish rock band Ghost; Phantomime is an impressive side-stint for the band, its gimmick being five covers of standards by other prominent groups throughout the rock continuum. Flaunting their impressive and eclectic tastes, the EP contains covers of Television's 'See No Evil', Genesis' 'Jesus He Knows Me', The Stranglers' 'Hanging Around', Maiden's 'Phantom Of The Opera' and, yes, Tina Turner's 'We Don't Need Another Hero'. A fan service for the band's devilishly cultish followers, we're sure this'll successfully function as both a history lesson and fan initiation ritual.

Interdimensional Extinction (reissue) (1-sided etched 180 gram vinyl 12" + poster + insert)
Cat: 194398 76911. Rel: 03 Aug 21
Review: "Murky Tech Death" was how one critic thought best to describe Blood Incantation. It's not hard to hear what they meant on this 2015 EP from the death metal outfit. It's riff-y but in a mathematical and angular kind of way, with nods to futurism also evident in the lyrical themes that look skywards, beyond the stratosphere, and into the great unknown which humankind still can barely reach due to the limitations of our own technological forward march.
There are moments here so complex the art of listening itself becomes something of an exact science - the lead guitar crescendos of 'Obfuscating The Linear Threshold' for example. Or the rhythmic propulsion of 'Hovering Lifeless'. The result is a masterclass of heavy, doom-y noise that packs musicality and drama into all four tracks.

Review: "This 10" single reissue comes in celebration of the upcoming 30th anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's 'No More Tears'. A new mashup sure to inspire only the best moshpitting and hair-flicking skills from every true hard rock head, this new track hears a the original Ozzy song mashed up with Motorhread's version. Never before released, it sounds like an alternate Dante eagerly cruising through the many layers of hell, as new drum reversings, stereo effects and soundscapes are peppered into this masterful musical jigsaw. The B-side also contains the two original, unremixed versions.

Review: Few conversations or analyses surrounding doom metal can begin without mentioning the integral Sleep and their genre-defining opus Dopesmoker. That same analytical discussion cannot be rounded up without OM coming into the fray, as the duo of bassist Al Cisneros and drummer Chris Haikus originally worked together as Sleep's rhythm section. The hypnotic 'Gebel Barkal' single would serve as the final recording from the pair following the 2007 full-length Pilgrimage, before 2009's God Is Good would welcome the arrival of current drummer Emil Amos and signal the group's continued expansion into an eventual three-piece.

Review: Black Label Society main man Zakk Wylde initially made a name for himself in the metal scene operating as Ozzy Osbourne's touring guitarist for many a moon, while most recently, he's currently filling the boots of the late great Dimebag Darrell on the Pantera reunion/tribute tour. In amongst the bearded shredder's hectic schedule is his Zakk Sabbath love-letter tribute act to the pioneering metal giants of a phonetically similar moniker. The trio, rounded out by bassist Robert "Blasko" Nicholson (Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie) and drummer Joey Castillo (Danzig, Queens Of The Stone Age), are now set to unveil a 7" single of their cover of the iconic Paranoid closing track 'Fairies Wear Boots', which was originally intended as a touring exclusive but now will receive a follow up retail-wide distribution. Complete with an epic, faithful rendition of Master Of Reality deep cut 'Solitude' on the flip side, but peppered with enough sonic liberties to engage without invoking the ire of avid fans the world over, this is Sabbath worship done only the right way.

Their first record to feature American drummer Reid Cruickshank (aka Reed St. Mark), the EP comprises five thrash-come-black metal rabble-rousers, ahead of their time for 1985.

Review: Following on from last year's crushing debut full-length, 'The Codex Of Flesh', Colorado Springs deathcore new schoolers, Crown Magnetar, return with the visceral 'Alone In Death' EP. Combining all facets of the genre from the brutally heavy to the obscenely technical, their myriad cacophony careens with zero warning into obliterating blast beats, mammoth breakdowns and caustic, malevolent shrieks.

Review: Self-described "putrid, drug-fueled gutter rock from the filthy streets of NYC", Couch Slut deal in ugliness, and boy is business a-boomin'! Meshing the most challenging facets of grindcore, hardcore punk, noise rock and black metal, the resulting cacophony is as unpleasant as it is impenetrable, yet the commanding presence of vocalist and primary songwriter Megan Osztrosits demands you suffer the audible torment while she details harrowing depictions of sexual violence, drug abuse and more singular inner-city horrors through subversive, vitriolic and grimly humoured phrases. Working with industrial hardcore manglers Uniform's Ben Greenberg (with previous production credits for Drab Majesty, Portrayal of Guilt, Metz), You Could Do It Tonight marks the fourth overall full-length from the group, and utterly refuses to dilute or smoothen their ethos of audibly healing through pain, or just pain for the fuck of it.

Review: When No Birds Sang serves as the sonic Venn Diagram intersection between the caustic death-grind of endlessly prolific noise merchants Full Of Hell and their long-time dreary shoegaze companions Nothing. Following previous collaborations with nihilistic post-rock entity The Body and doom-sludge trio Primitive Man, this latest endeavour offers a far vaster musical dichotomy than previous collaborative outings, with melancholic, distorted clean vocals reverberating against howling shrieks and cacophonous walls of overwhelming, near impenetrable fuzz. Echoing the ugliest experiments of Swans or My Bloody Valentine, yet re-purposed, or rather dragged through a mire of broken glass and barbed wire before being vaulted into a deafening echo chamber; this twisted formula of violent vulnerability could best be summarised as post-grind or deathgaze, and offers little help to the uninitiated.

Review: While initially formed in Buffalo, New York in 1987, before setting up base in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, second wave death metal scene genre definers Malevolent Creation along with their peers in Cannibal Corpse are largely responsible for the brutal surge of extreme metal throughout the 90s. Expanding on the work of groups such as Death and Obituary, their venomous and pummeling compositions became a roadmap for a myriad of bands who would follow in their path. Warkult marked the group's ninth overall full-length but only the second of two projects following 2002's The Will To Kill to feature vocalist Kyle Symons, whose short-lived tenure served as a refreshing new lease on viciousness before Bret Hoffmann would make his glorious return on 2007's Doomsday X.

How can heavy metal-ers not get excited about this one?

As for the LP itself, it was something of a landmark moment in the band's journey - shifting the intensity and ferocity up at least three gears and then sticking a brick on the throttle to hold it in place. Perhaps Mojo's take on things puts it best; ""If booze and dope had helped fuel Sabbath's earlier albums, Vol. 4 is their cocaine ... Despite their spiraling addictions, musically Vol. 4 is another ambitious outing". Enough said.

Signing to highly revered metal label Nuclear Blast for their 12th full-length Vault Of Horrors, the project takes an old school approach to lyrical inspiration with each of the cuts based off of specific, classic horror films, from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ('Death Cult') to Halloween ('The Shape of Hate') to Hellraiser ('Hellbound') to later morbid entries such as The Mist ('Malevolent Haze'). That's before even mentioning the ludicrous array of guest vocal features across the album, appearing more like a hip-hop record at first glance with practically every track offering room to the likes of Alex Erian (Despised Icon), Matt McGachy (Cryptopsy), and Jason Evans (Ingested) to name but a small handful.

Review: It's kind of ironic that doom metal is so intrinsically linked to early Black Sabbath. After all, the British guitar wielding icons may have conjured feelings of despair and unease, but their formative years are more readily defined by high rather than low speeds. Saint Vitus, who joined the party later, around 1979, are a far more accurate reference for the genre itself, which was really just getting going at the time this lot got together. The often downtempo but powerful tracks match a similarly un-rushed work rate. 11 years after their incarnation, the Los Angeles group finally unveiled their logically titled fifth album, V. Thick and heavy riffs, a general feeling of weight and some wildly experimental segments mark this out as an example of how SV lost none of their edge in their first decade.

Tragically losing bassist/vocalist Caleb Scofield in a car accident in 2018, the band made a much-supported return with last year's phenomenal Heavy Pendulum while enlisting the help of Converge bassist Nate Newton. As the newly reformed group continue to tour the latest opus-like addition to their incomparable legacy, there's a bittersweet aura surrounding the 20 year anniversary of Until Your Heart Stops; both celebrating their enigmatic genre-fluid origins that have been an essential component of why Cave In are still paid such reverence, and a sobering reminder of the loss of such a truly underappreciated artistic voice.

Review: It's fascinating diving into the earliest realms of Ministry, before they were even signed to record their debut synth pop album With Sympathy. Al Jorgensen swore off that first release as a misstep before they become chief architects of industrial metal, and this compilation supports his case when you hear the sound of the band at their first gigs in 1981-1983. It's a lot more confrontational than the polished, arguably brilliant, sound they were encouraged to release as they emerged from the underground. From the electro-punk thrust of 'Falling' to the raw version of 'Cold Life', they feel entirely edgier as a proposition compared to most synth-pop bands of the era. With additional gems like rare mixes of 'Everyday (Is Halloween)', this is an essential compilation for anyone interested in the roots of Ministry.

Review: Initially released in 2020 as part of the Sub Pop single series and following on from their harrowing and epic fourth LP May You Be Held, this monolithic 18-minute cut from sludge/post-metal supergroup trio Sumac was originally pressed on a 7" which couldn't fit the track on a single side, leading to it being split into two halves. Now the lengthy opus finally receives a 12" one-sided repress, allowing for total immersion into the trudging heft, heaving doom, caustic drone and perplexing free jazz flourishes which all arise. Made up of Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists), Brian Cook (Russian Circles, These Arms Are Snakes, Botch) and Aaron Turner (Mamiffer, Old Man Gloom, Isis), Sumac have grown into a uniquely vicious entity all of their own prowess with Two Beasts serving as a high watermark of their grandiose heaviness and visionary approach.

Cosmic and ambitious, the original 1988 release was inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe as well as exuding a central focus on mysticism and divinity, with a Kabbalistic Tree of Life even adorning the back cover. Noted for its unique recording technique, in which drummer Dana Burnell performed live drums into a synclavier without any cymbals, before re-recording the cymbal takes later in order to maintain a complete dichotomy between the two; the crispness of the impressive percussion may have served as a complicated, arduous process, but its pristine attention to detail still shines through over three decades on.

Review: Tomahwat remain cult favourites amongst fans, and the number of followers of the band is sure to expand as their music is reissued here on black wax though other colors are available. Dwarfed by the likes of Faith No More, Fantomas and Mr Bungle, Tomahawk debuted in 2001. Frontman Patton teamed up with The Jesus Lizard's Duane Denison, Battles/Helmet stickman John Stanier and Melvins veteran Kevin Rutmanis on bass, Tomahawk took a direct shot at the melodrama of nu-metal and tapped into a truer, more evocative idea of disturbed America. It's a masterpiece from start to finish, wildly unhinged but with a dead-eye focus.

Review: In the labyrinth halls and corridors of Mike Patton's musical endeavours, there are always hidden treasures to be unearthed. Dwarfed by the likes of Faith No More, Fantomas and Mr Bungle, Tomahawk has retained more of a cult appreciation since their first album came out in 2001. With Patton teaming up with The Jesus Lizard's insanely talented guitarist Duane Denison, Battles/Helmet sticksman John Stanier and Melvins veteran Kevin Rutmanis on bass, Tomahawk took a direct shot at the melodrama of nu-metal and tapped into a truer, more evocative idea of disturbed America. It's a masterpiece from start to finish, wildly unhinged but with a dead-eye focus, and surely ranks among the finest projects Patton has ever turned his distinctive larynx to.

To Mega Therion (reissue) (limited gatefold silver vinyl 2xLP + booklet + posters)
Cat: 405053 8792966. Rel: 12 Jan 23
Review: Following their early slew of EPs that would slowly begin to reshape the modern metal landscape, it was 1985's full-length debut, To Mega Therion, that would immortalise Swiss extreme metal provocateurs, Celtic Frost, as the macabre saviours of a scene unaware of the perils that awaited it. Credited alongside Venom's aptly titled, 'Black Metal', as the true genesis of a scene and formula still not altered too greatly in the near four decades since inception, it's little wonder how many classic acts from Mayhem to Darkthrone cite the band, and this project in particular, as an integral influence. Sporting some of the literal greatest extreme metal cuts to ever grace tortured ears, such as, 'The Usurper', and the twisted epic, 'Circle Of The Tyrants', along with the iconic H.R. Giger drawn artwork, this classic can be traced back from the vast majority of black, death, doom and almost any other horrific subgenre of metallic origin.

To Be Cruel (white vinyl LP + 1-sided white vinyl LP + booklet + MP3 download code (indie exclusive))
Cat: SBR 321LPC3. Rel: 29 Jun 23
Review: Fans of twisted sonic bedlam rejoice as the drone-doom supergroup of James Plotkin, Alan Dubin (OLD), Tim Wyskida (Blind Idiot God) and Stephen O'Malley (Burning Witch, Sunn O)))) have surprise released a brand new full-length titled To Be Cruel. Their first LP since 2009's Clean Hands Go Foul restores every inch of the malevolent, industrial-tinted noise-doom that originally made Khanate such an underground darling of early 21st century experimental and extreme metal. While no official reunion or tour dates have been announced, the band have revealed that all four previous albums would be receiving the reissue treatment in the near future, delighting avid followers of aurally debauched soundscapes the world over.

Review: There's arguably few modern bands pushing and expanding the confines of death metal like Denver, Colorado based genre provocateurs, Blood Incantation.
Combining intricate tech-death stylings with psychedelic, prog-rock passages all awash in sci-fi hues led to 2019's 'Hidden History of the Human Race', landing on several end of year lists.
The much anticipated follow up, 'Timewave Zero', is a purposeful 180 from their formula, eschewing vocals, riffs and malevolence for ambient, synth-based science fiction psychedelia akin to latter day Tangerine Dream.
It may seem a perplexing departure, but one the group have envisioned since prior to releasing their 'Starspawn' debut in 2016. Continuing to carve out their own path, and craft a solely unique vision may lose some riff-raff semi-fans, but those willing to follow Blood Incantation on their ever unfolding cosmic journey, have just been handed the keys to the unknown.

Time (limited beige & brown marbled vinyl LP + poster + insert)
Cat: 252227. Rel: 26 Oct 23
Review: King Diamond fronted, proto black metal legends Mercyful Fate, are a group that require little introduction to any black-hearted soul who considers themselves a true metal fan. Following on from 1993's reunion album Into The Shadows, their fourth full-length Time would arrive the very next year just in time (no pun intended) for Halloween 1994. Now almost three decades on, both lifers and newcomers alike have an opportunity to spin this underrated gem in its truest form. With lyrical topics delving into the macabre and Satanic, with even the standout cut 'The Mad Arab' detailing the H.P. Lovecraft character Abdul Alhazred, who authored the fictional forbidden tome of occult lore The Necronomicon, this is a grandiose, theatrical and Satanic Panic pushing collection of classic, parents upsetting, falsetto shrieking gothic heavy metal for all seasons.

Review: The ninth full-length from Norwegian black metal mainstays, Kampfar, marks their first full-length since 2019's excellent, 'Ofidians Manifest' and further exemplifies their timeless penchant for macabre, frosted soundscapes delivered with seamless cohesion. 'Til Klovers Takt' serves as a sonic journey across the snow-capped Scandanavian landscape with its coalescing of atmospheric tranquillity and malodorous heft, complete with pummelling blast beats, unnerving tremolo picking and anguished vocals that often trade caustic howls for occult-inspired folkloric chants, channelling the history and nature of their home in the most serene yet abrasive forms possible.

Ticket To Mayhem (reissue) (limited numbered 180 gram audiophile green vinyl LP + insert)
Cat: MOVLP 3126C. Rel: 28 Feb 23
Review: The second full-length from New Jersey thrash metal outfit Whiplash arrived courtesy of Roadrunner in 1987, a mere year after their breakneck paced debut 'Power & Pain'. At this point in the late 80s the scene already had genre classics such as Metallica's 'Master Of Puppets' and Slayer's 'Reign In Blood' to contend with, making it a free for all of pummeling thrash acts doing their utmost to not get lost in the ether. While some often cite 1989's 'Insult To Injury' as the total showcasing of their prowess, Ticket To Mayhem is testament (no pun intended) to the myriad of vital bands that kept the thrash movement pulsing beneath the major heights and laurels of a select few, with Whiplash finally receiving the praise and credence they had initially earned so many decades prior.

Review: From any one of their landmark genre-defining metal albums to the scores of live documents, there are many ways to approach the monumental legacy of Black Sabbath, but this box set is the perfect distillation of the best of the band honed into a two-disc collection. Focused on those breakthrough years with Ozzy Osborne, there are just too many classic tracks to count on here, whether it's the harmonica baiting sludge of 'The Wizard' or the motorik drive of 'Paranoid' you're after. A perfect primer for newcomers, or a handy capsule of all the best bits - it's Black Sabbath, need we say more?

Review: While it's been 13 years since the tragic passing of one of the greatest rock and metal vocalists of our time, the legacy left behind by Ronnie James Dio serves as unwavering testament to the man's aura, character and prowess, even up to his final recordings which make up this collector's box set. Featuring the final four albums recorded under his own name, all housed in a sideloading box with newly created art on five 180g coloured LPs (1996's Angry Machines on Halloween orange with black marble, 2000's Magica on transparent blood red and black smoke, 2002's Killing The Dragon on transparent yellow with black marble and 2004's Master Of The Moon on electric blue with milky clear marble, plus the rare Electra single on a cobalt blue 7", the epic collection coincides with the upcoming release of Dio: Dreamers Never Die; the first authorised career-spanning documentary centred around the iconic frontman.

Review: Floridian melodic metalcore outfit Wage War have opted to do the unthinkable (with regards to their scene), and dropped an acoustic project, reimagining cuts from all three of their previous full-lengths; 2017's Deadweight, 2019's Pressure, and 2021's 'Manic'. With a title like The Stripped Sessions it should be pretty evident that this isn't the bombastic affair the band's name usually indicates, instead channelling folk influences that expand as far as the surprisingly tender cover of the classic Johnny Cash cut, 'Folsom Prison Blues'. Produced by local fan and friend, A Day To Remember vocalist, Jeremy McKinnon; this is a most curious case of a group delivering from a facet which fans didn't realise they thirsted over.

Review: On December 30th and 31st 1978, early demo versions were laid down in Spaceward Studios of what would eventually become the debut EP from future British metal giants Iron Maiden. The three tracks in question ('Iron Maiden', 'Invasion', 'Prowler') were all recorded within the same session, making for a far more primitive and raw offering than the finalised studio versions that would ultimately find their home on the band's self-titled 1980 debut LP. This compilation restores the original three-track The Soundhouse Tapes EP, while including a bevvy of additional demos, alternative takes and live cuts from the formative, (pre-Bruce Dickinson) Paul Di'Anno era.

Review: Originally released in 1998, The Sound of Perseverance would serve as the seventh and subsequently final full-length from death metal pioneers Death, before mastermind Chuck Schuldiner's untimely loss due to brain cancer-related complications in 2001. Noted for being the only work with this specific line-up, featuring guitarist Shannon Hamm, drummer Richard Christy, and bassist Scott Clendenin (all members of Schuldiner's equally brilliant but often overlooked side-project Control Denied), this final death breath of fluid progressive tech-death greatness can sometimes fall through the cracks of the band's impeccable discography, and be fobbed off as a latter day addition sans the original core members, but mark our words, even the last Death album puts most modern death metal attempts to utter shame.

The Paranoid Tour 1970 (clear vinyl LP in die-cut sleeve limited to 200 copies)
Cat: SGVNY 069. Rel: 08 Jan 24
Review: Who'd have thought, some 54 or so years ago, that the Birmingham four piece called Black Sabbath would not only go on to enjoy success long into the next millennium but also create a style of music - heavy metal - that would spread globally and become one of culture's most dominant forces for decades to come. That's what happened though, and the strength of the material captured for radio broadcast at the iconic Olympia Theatre in Paris on December 20 1970 is a big clue, at least with the benefit of hindsight. As well as their genre-defining eponymous debut, the band dropped the Paranoid album this year too, showing not only how inspired but also prolific they were at the time, and naturally that anthemic song is present here, alongside colossal tunes like 'Iron Man', 'War Pigs' and 'Black Sabbath'. They sound uttterly unstoppable here, and, certainly for a fair few years to follow anyway, that's what they proved to be.
