In Edicius, Dreich have crafted a black metal album which is a majestic piece of work and an articulate exposition of their aesthetic of darkness and negativity.

Do yourself a favour: make space for Cosmic Vibration in your own plans for 2026.

Alistair Strachan recently sat down with Brighton based doom band to find out more about the band and what their future plans are.

Should ‘The Room Of Shadows’ be the last we ever hear from Pagan Altar then it stands as a most fitting denouement by a band whose abilities far transcend their limited commercial success.

‘Poisoned Blood’ may leave you feeling dirty, but in a good way. Cleanliness is for the self-righteous, Jesus worshippers out there. Fuck them. Satan loves dirt.

It made me smile. It made me thankful that I love metal. It made me play it again as soon as the first spin ended.

This is a hugely enjoyable album from a damn fine rock band who can realistically go on to achieve on a level like Orange Goblin. This is Steak. Well done.
