Review: Madder Mortem – Red In Tooth And Claw
‘Wait for me, wait for me, set the world on fire for me!’ In the first song on their new album Madder Mortem already declares it: Wait for me. And it was a long wait[…]
Review: Albez Duz – Wings Of Tzinacan
My first thoughts when listening to the first track of the album: Ah, it’s Halloween time! Creepy starts -especially strong ones- always attract my attention. The surprise after this introduction is that Albez Duz is[…]
Review: The Unknown – In Search Of The Unknown

The cover of this nice tape shows clearly what the listener can expect: Dark, mournful depressive doom. Temple Steps gives us two great sludge/doom songs, lasting seven to eight minutes each. In a sense, the[…]
Review: Misteyes – Creeping Time
Gothic metal, synthesizer backed metal with dark growls and high sopranos. Wasn’t that the nineties, a time where bands like Theatre of Tragedy, The Sins of Thy Beloved and everything that followed afterwards were booming?[…]
