Review: Madder Mortem – Red In Tooth And Claw

November 11, 2016July 5, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

‘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

October 25, 2016July 4, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

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

October 12, 2016July 4, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

It is not often, or better said, never, that we come across a Teheran based doom band. Consisting of Iranian Iria Moghaddamand and Kevin Pribulsky from the band ‘In search of’, it is not hard,[…]

Review: Cradle Of Filth – Dusk…And Her Embrace The Original Sin

September 27, 2016September 4, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

After twenty years, CoF comes with the original Dusk…and her Embrace album, as it should have been released back in the nineties. Dusk…and her Embrace was released in 1996 and was remastered in 2012. But[…]

Review: Sig:Ar:Tyr – Northen

July 16, 2016July 4, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

“I am King, where is my crown!” It is very hard not to imagine being in some sort of Game of Thrones scene when this sentence is yelled at you while listening to Crownless, second[…]

Review: Oceans Of Slumber – Winter

July 16, 2016September 4, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

Kicks off with a very melodic title song, that immediately introduces the warm sensual vocals of singer Cammie Gilbert. Oceans of Slumber is not simply a ‘femalefronted metalband’, though. Three male musicians contribute with their[…]

Review: Abisso – WRNSS

June 16, 2016July 4, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

Abisso’s debut album is an absolute killer! Grounded in post-black metal, the album has a great balance between pitch-black heaviness and melodic guitar parts. The deathgrowls are massive and, in my opinion, more accessible than[…]

Review: Temple Steps/Wreck – split tape

June 4, 2016July 4, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

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

May 19, 2016July 3, 2018 Martijn Bakkeralbum reviews

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?[…]
