    Music Review: Amon Amarth – “Jomsviking”

    There are very few bands in this day and age – an age of short attention spans and seemingly disposable media – that can afford the luxury of not feeling the need or inclination of reinventing themselves with every new album release.  Many bigger bands have tried this, such as the likes of METALLICA for […]

    Music Review: Borknagar – “Winter Thrice”

    1997 was pretty special for me in terms of the quality of metal releases that year.  Such gems as ENTOMBED‘s “To Shoot Straight…”, EMPEROR‘s “Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk”, DIMMU BORGIR‘s “Enthrone Darkness Triumphant”, DEICIDE‘s “Serpents of the Light”, STL‘s “City” and METALLICA‘s “ReLoad” were released that year and all (but one!) still get […]

    Music Review: MGLA – “Exercise in Futility”

    Reviewer’s nightmare, right here!  If you caught the review of Texan post-metallers GLASIR recently, you’ll have read about my frustrations with bands keeping not only their identities “secret”, but also pretty much refusing to disclose any other information that those of us that write about music might find as interesting etc.   The upside to this […]

    Music Review: Ahab – “The Boats of the Glen Carrig”

    When Burning Fist interviewed AHAB at Damnation Festival 2014, we semi-jokingly asked if there were bottomless depths of nautical inspiration for them, and sure enough they’ve dredged up another obscure abyssal tome as the backdrop concept for their fourth album of funeral doom. Even the more colourful cover art hints at somewhat of a drift […]

    Music Review: Ghost – “Meliora”

    Perhaps if I hadn’t seen GHOST at Roadburn back in 2011 I wouldn’t be so tolerant or even interested in something that is not only relatively mellow for my tastes but also faces sneers of “style over substance” for the theatrics of their performance. Their hot air balloon of hype was already rising then but […]

    Music Review: The Infernal Sea – “The Great Mortality”

    Long time readers of BurningFist will probably be quite familiar with THE INFERNAL SEA by now i would have thought – we’ve pretty much tracked and reviewed most of their output since a chance encounter with the guys when they played in Liverpool supporting EYE OF SOLITUDE just over two years ago, but if you’d […]

    Music Review: Pro-Pain – “Voice of Rebellion”

    Uncompromising is the only way to describe this long standing (although it’s taken me until now to realise what a gas their name is…) NY metallic hardcore crossover bands new bomb dropping, kicking off as it does with a roar of “Die fucker!”. This title track opener remains ultimately aggressive in super chunky bullying and […]

    Music Review: The King Is Blind – “Our Father”

    Hailing from deepest, darkest East Anglia, THE KING IS BLIND will be the first official release of the newly resurrected British extreme metal label Cacophonous.  Those of us a little bit longer in the tooth will of course remember the label for launching the likes of CRADLE OF FILTH, ABYSSOS, DIMMU BORGIR, PRIMORDIAL and SIGH […]

    Music Review: Unleashed – “Dawn of the Nine”

    I kind of thought I would know what I was getting with an UNLEASHED album as now on to this twelfth album in their 26 year career they have never strayed far from trve course they sail from the home waters of Swedish Death metal. Whats striking with this though is a crystal clear production […]

    Music Review – Grave Pleasures – “Dreamcrash”

    Formed from the ashes of the once wonderfully named BEASTMILK, GRAVE PLEASURES sees the band not only bring new members into the fold but also revitalize their already strong brand of doom-laden punkish rock.  BEASTMILK’s 2013 debut “Climax” was a firm favourite of mine and so feelings of trepidation were apparent just before i pressed […]
