Six Foot Six - The Six Foot Six Project 01

Six Foot Six – The Six Foot Six Project Review

On November 17, 2018 By Steel Druhm

"'N00b, I have something for you.' I turn to face the voice, surprised to be spoken to directly as all my assignments have arrived via raven scroll thus far. 'I want to reward you for how well you’ve handled being the worst n00b.' Steel Druhm hands me a wrapped package. I stand dumb, just as I always do in the presence of authority figures. 'I think you’ll like it,' he says with a straight face before turning to walk away. I hear a sound that might be snickering as he disappears around the corner, but I’m too amazed at surviving a face-to-face encounter with him to notice. I look down at the package and peel back a corner of the wrapping. I find a sticker that reads, 'For fans of Maiden, Priest, Accept, and Falconer.' Oh my god! Has Christmas come early? Is Steel Druhm one of those “good” evil overlords?" Apes of wrath.

Third Storm - The Grand Manifestation 01

Third Storm – The Grand Manifestation Review

On November 7, 2018 By Steel Druhm

"Despite originally forming in 1986, The Grand Manifestation is the first full-length offering from Swedish five-piece Third Storm. After just two years and a handful of shows, Third Storm’s original line-up disbanded. It was not until 2014 that founding member, Heval Bozarslan, gathered a new band around him, releasing the Taritiya Me EP a year later. "Despite its Mayhem-inspired cover and the howling winds and distant siren that open the EP, it is not a black metal offering. Some promising-sounding death groove is short-lived and gives way to medium-paced, funeral doom, which dominates most of the 25-minute runtime. Which Third Stormwould be on display on The Grand Manifestation—the anticipated black metal, the groove-laden death that made a brief cameo or the sludgy doom that predominated?" Precious metals sampler.

Blood of Serpents – Sulphur Sovereign Review

On September 25, 2018 By TheKenWord

"Black metal is an incredible source of emotive music disguised in unwavering aggression. The advent of sterling releases from the likes of Gaerea and Sar Isatum, among others, has only reaffirmed that for me. Factor in my implicit trust in Non Serviam’s A&R and here I sit, anxious to give Swedish black-metallers Blood of Serpents their due. From the “deep forests of Småland,” Blood of Serpents follow the same formula scribed by the likes of Marduk and Dissection. Their first album, Black Dawn, showcased mid-paced black metal constructed on a dependable foundation of solid riffs. With sophomore effort, Sulphur Sovereign, the band opted to take their foot and ram it straight through the metal. To describe Sulphur Sovereign as “full speed ahead” would be to commit severe understatement." Is more always more?
