4th album by Trollfest. The 6-piece take no prisoners with their thick wall of sound, slamming it home hard and fast whilst infusing some of the best melodic ethnic sounds from not only their homeland but further afield. The Balkan sounds are present almost in every corner of this album. The production keeps everything vibrant and clear within the ‘amalgam’ of sound but retains that chaotic maelstrom of energy too.

Primordial - Redemption At The Puritan's Hand


Genre: Heavy/Black/Folk
Country: Ireland
Year: 2011

1. No Grave Deep Enough    
2. Lain With The Wolf    
3. Bloodied Yet Unbowed

5. The Mouth Of Judas    
6. The Black Hundred    
7. The Puritan's Hand    
8. Death Of The Gods







7th album by Primordial, 4 years since their last one. They continue playing  their understated form of pagan metal, informed by black metal and traditional Celtic music played only on traditional metal instruments. The folk parts are present again with their warm pagan feeling. Nemtheanga's distinctive vocal style fits in so well with the music that it practically becomes the music.

1. The Fall
2. Lamentations & Ashes

6. Charnel Spirit
7. All Souls
8. The Number Of The Word
9. Stained Glass Reflections
10. Stained Glass Revelations





2nd album by Negative Plane, 5 years after their debut one. The songwriting and musicianship have evolved into something that is by all means black metal, but a darker, heavier, more intricate and oppressive black metal. Insane riffs are all over the place harmonically and beneath the wall-of-noise tempos and evil atmosphere, weird song structures are there to astound the listener.
