Aenaon “Extance” (2014)

28. April 2018 AGMHQ 0

“Extance”. Is it an outward existence, or an ecstatic entity possessed by rapturous delight? Why not both? With their sophomore album, the Greek progressive black ensemble Aenaon have set out to expand the boundaries of […]

Aenaon “Phenomenon” (2009)

28. April 2018 Thor Joakimsson 0

This mini-album received quite a lot of praise since its release and in fact AENAON from Greece demonstrate a more than solid potential with their skill- and powerful interpretation of modern Norwegian extreme metal. Norwegian? […]

Achenar “Super Death Explosion Kitties” (2011)

28. April 2018 aVoid 0

Disturbed technocratic metal distortion caught in a system malfunction. Not completely unrelated to ZWEIZZ’ stabby bizarrotronic headfucks; breakcore, drill&bass, IDM whatever – messed-up electronica vested in a metallic foundation; all sounds simulating metal riffs are […]

Achenar “All Will Change” (2007)

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief upon completion of the Cervix review, I looked at the Achenar album with some trepidation. Upon playing my fears were intensified as it begins with some interesting […]

Abstruse “Earthbound” (2012)

28. April 2018 aVoid 0

“Earthbound” is the third release from Greek eccentric avant-metallist ABSTRUSE, after 2007’s Transgressions demo and 2010’s Ivory Tower album. The previous issues I hailed for their inventive approach to combining metal music with experimental composing techniques and Gothic atmospheres. […]

Abstruse “Ivory Tower” (2010)

28. April 2018 aVoid 0

Abstruse “Transgression” (2007)

28. April 2018 aVoid 0

Transgression is the first release from this ambitious Greek duo, formed back in 2002. Veiled and Substant, sharing the vocal, visual and musical duties, states a pretty bold mission objective – to fuse extreme metal’s […]

Abstrusa Unde “Introspection” (2011)

28. April 2018 aVoid 0

What was sold by the press kit: – A massively ambitious musical endeavour: the first release was inspired by jazz, metal, and modern composers, “illustrating the myth of Orpheus”. – The name-dropping of several giants […]

Aborym “Dirty” (2013)

28. April 2018 Mystery Flame 0

Aborym are an oddball in the sense that they live and make music just the way they fucking like: Fabban and friends are rebels, lunatics and hopefuls.  We all know the heavy-weight history of the […]

Aborym “Psychogrotesque” (2010)

28. April 2018 Mystery Flame 0

Fans of warped avant-garde heaviness should know this industrial/electro black metal act inside-out, but if this is your first encounter with the band from the heart of Italy, beware: this final incarnation is the real […]
