A double bill of debuts, yet separated by 6 years! First on the timeline we have Portcullis – Raise The Portcullis who impressed so much at Fortress Festival that I had to seek out their music. Then we have Secluded Tower – Adventurer’s Map , a simply fantastic debut from Denver, Colorado and stranger realms…
-
Back from a break for Fortress Festival, we get a little strange, maybe a little insane with the debut EP from Rosacroce – Acqua Tofana
-
This mornignwe rise to set out on a journey with a caravan where tales will be told and sights will be seen. Prepare you wagon, for the glorious ride with Skyhammer – Medieval Tales
-
Today two one man black metal projects who definitely follwo their own vision wherever it may take them. The Tolkein inspired album based on The Children of Hurin, Ghül – Shadow Of Grief and the dark, 80s inspired black, death, doom metal of Venificus Sarcina – A Flight Through Obscurity
-
Today it really is way back. To pre-2013, or to the 2013 re-release of Steve Von Till – As The Crow Flies (Neurot, 2013)
-
Today we protect ourselves against the week to come by allowing ourselves to be guided into a world of icy, timeless beauty with Arthuros & Budrum – Where Night Ascends The Iced Throne Of Wizardry
-
A day for the raw and the visceral from two new projects, both shrouded in secrecy. First the grim, depressive and strange world of Atlach-Nacha – Manifestations and then the visceral, feral anger of Corrughadh – Demo
-
A Monday is a good day to set out on high and low adventure and between them, Blades of Folmär / The Haligtree – Split MMXXVI allows you to experience dark crypts and glorious fights. Listen hard, this is an exceptional split.
-
Black Metal from worlds apart yet both in the British Isles. First we have the superb, passionate raw Welsh black metal of Ysbrydnos – Welsh Mythical Darkness and then, twelve years in the making , the symphonic tones of Cumbrian black metal raises its head with Torver – Witching Hour
-
A day late, but no less vivid we embark on a journey into the shaodws and the past guided by the fantastic Dreamy Knight – Ruins Of The Old Kingdom
