ALBUM REVIEW: Fell Omen – Caelid Dog Summer
A solo project from darkest Athens, Fell Omen is the brainchild of Greek multi-instrumentalist Spider Of Pynx (a.k.a. Dimitris Corax Augoustinos). A combination of old-school Metal, Dungeon Synth, Punk and classic Black Metal, Caelid Dog Summer (True Cult Records) is the band’s second album, their first, Invaded by a Dark Spirit, only landing in February of this year. A busy little Black Metal bee indeed.Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: Serpent Rider – The Ichor of Chimaera
There must be something about the thin air, and gloom of Seattle, WA that has given birth to some fantastic modern melodic NWOHM bands. Serpent Rider is one of those bands and hearing them for the first time rekindled my love of NWOTHM (New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal) bands. For a while there, I found myself somewhat bored with the bands that seemed to either deliver each album with disappointment or bands that would take years off, return with a subpar album, and then disappear again. It’s hard to keep my attention that way but Serpent Rider grabbed my attention immediately.
ALBUM REVIEW: Barathrum – Überkill
With the existence of bands like Beherit, Impaled Nazarene, and Archgoat emerging as the quintessential pioneers of the Finnish Black Metal scene back in the nineties, fair to say that throughout the years, Finland has left a long-lasting, profound legacy when it comes to presenting a harsh sonic journey of Black Metal, or most of Extreme Metal subgenres in general; even including the more contemporary names surrounding, such as Sargeist and Havukruunu.

FESTIVAL REVIEW: Beyond the Gates Review 2024 Part 2 Live at Grieghallen
With Thursday being the longest day on the festival’s docket for musical performances, Friday, August 2nd marked Day 3 and the second longest day. Day Shift sets started as early as 13:30 back at Kulturehuset with ferocious screams of Fir, SYN and Owls Woods Graves to ramp us up for the day. I didn’t end up shooting any of these sets, but I popped my head in to check out the sounds until it occurred to me I could listen from the tables of the building’s accompanying cafe where I stationed myself for some photo editing.Continue reading
FESTIVAL REVIEW: Beyond the Gates Review 2024 Part 1 Live at USF Verftet
Iconic. Explosive. Diabolical. The 2024 rendition of Beyond the Gates Festival in Bergen, Norway delivered.
The festival started Wednesday, July 31st. Opening day crowds arrived into the fjordland town of Bergen amped and ready for a weekend of black metal in one of the birthplaces for the genre. In this regard, the festival is unique in its own right, but Beyond the Gates offers a few other unique features such as providing festivalgoers with a variety of indoor concert spaces differing in size, sound and style giving attendees a change of atmosphere throughout the weekend and a listening experience in year-round concert halls and club stages as opposed to temporarily constructed platforms of your typical music festival.
