Facebook – love it or hate it, it certainly has its uses. One such use was enabling me to find out about Illinois’ Seal of Saturn. After thoroughly enjoying one of their demos on YouTube (you can check it out at the end of this review) and subsequently sharing it with anyone who will listen [...]
I’ve been waiting for this album to be released pretty much as soon as Devilish Impressions’ previous album, “Diabolicanos – Act III: Armageddon”, was released. Devilish Impressions are one of those bands that just goes from strength to strength with each release and “Simulacra” is no exception.
“Simulacra” is, however, very different to [...]
Before I dive into this review, I thought I’d better make one thing clear. I’m a Secrets of the Moon fan. Big time. I looked forward to the release of “Seven Bells”, much like a small child looks forward to Christmas morning. And, when my deluxe box set arrived yesterday I couldn’t open the packaging [...]
Hellsaw’s previous album “Cold” was released in 2009 and it feels like there’s been a long wait for any new material (this is probably because I’m incredibly impatient!). “Cold” was a solid release, but (for me, at least) it didn’t capture the same kind of atmosphere that “Phantasm” did. Hellsaw set the bar incredibly high [...]
It’s been a while since we last heard anything from Singapore’s Absence of the Sacred, but the band are now back with their latest opus “Come Hither O Herald of Death”. How does it compare to their previous albums? Is it able to hold its own up against the seemingly endless list of albums out [...]
Quotes
I think more bands should prioritize exposure over sales. The more exposure, the more sales. Be it ticket sales, album sales, or merch sales. That’s the way I see it.
— Necrol, Secrets She Kept, http://bit.ly/HEaNHXThe underlying theme is through the discovery of truth we find ultimate hopelessness. Each song explores death in a different context and theme.
— Voldamares, Eclipse Eternal, http://bit.ly/Hv2kYEI think illegal downloading is fine if you download just to listen, and if you like it, you buy it. If you don’t like it, delete it off your computer.
— Mike Priest, Absence of the Sacred, http://bit.ly/IGNpWkWe don’t adhere to any specific writing style. If something works, it gets improved, then it gets used!
— Gideon, Crow Black Sky, http://bit.ly/InizpyI am personally still a CD buyer and probably always will be. I like having the physical artwork in my hands. Mp3’s to me are not very attractive because I feel I’m not getting my money’s worth.
— Will, Vesperian Sorrow, http://bit.ly/Hx69gWYou give me a stage and you will see the difference between Nokturnel and most other bands.
— Tom Stevens, Nokturnel, http://bit.ly/Injd6yThe lyrics are mainly based in fantasy, and try to convey a larger concept, peppered with metaphors that hint at some very personal events and feelings.
— Ruptured Souls, The Furious Horde, http://bit.ly/HyfPUx...so now we’re thinking about the next step. And don’t worry. When we hit the road, I guarantee we won’t miss the UK!
— Damyen, Northern Plague, http://bit.ly/JuT8SgCryptic Throne is a dark shamanic ritual. An entity which exists for the Primordial Thursian Worship of Dark Germanic Heathenism.
— Abyssous, Cryptic Throne, http://bit.ly/IlJsYsEven when all seems fine Plaag will still be around to do a little tormenting here and there...
— Somber von Plaag, Plaag, http://bit.ly/IvTyW2Twitter Updates
