SOLSTITIUM – Morgoth CD Metal On Metal 2024
Well, this is one of these albums which I had to blast countless times before I finally decided to review it. I would not attribute this indecisiveness to the fact I was unsure what to think of “Morgoth.” Since I was already enchanted with its sonic richness. Indeed, this album is a real […]
ARKHAM WITCH -Legions of the Deeper Depths CD Metal On Metal 2024
Time is flying by, ain`t it? “Legions…” was released 12 years ago but this album still holds up, no doubt about it. It seems safe to say that ARKHAM WITCH, over the years, has gotten us accustomed to the fact that their music is, if not overly innovative or original, yet it does, […]
EREB ALTOR Blot – Ilt – Taut LP Cyclone Empire 2016

MYSTIC FESTIVAL 2024
Well, well, well…. another edition of Mystic Festival at Stocznia Gdanska, in Gdansk, Poland is over. That was a truly exciting experience.

NEW INTERVIEW NASTY SAVAGE
I am sure that people who are as old as me can still recollect the famous NASTY SAVAGE show which took place at Spodek, Katowice, Poland, back in 1988. The Iron Curtain separating us from other democratic countries of Western Europe was still affecting Poland. It was however the time when the political system (that […]

IN AEVUM AGERE- Darkness Then Light CD Metal On Metal 2024
“Darkness Then Light” is IN AEVUM AGERE`s fourth album. What these Italians offer on this full-length recording is top-notch doom metal; just like their other, very original albums are so full of!

SHAYTAN- Chapter One CD Metal On Metal 2023
SHAYTAN hails from Germany. Their debut album is suffused with obscure, classic doom metal. The sound is very filthy and jet-black to the bone with some oriental mysticism peppered here and there. All this makes SHAYTAN`s music appear very majestic…many are of the opinion this genre is sort of over-explored; therefore, to come up […]
