As most of you know, there is a circle of bands that we – and let’s be honest about this – have grown particularly attached to over the years. One of them is without question Thronehammer, who Aidan and I were able to see live together twice last year. Against this background, we were of […]
Release: 21/09/2022 B.S.T. from Hamburg are certainly no unknowns in the German doom scene: No wonder, the band was already founded in 1994 and their first EP Vier + 2 was released in 2000. If you look at the quartet’s output as a whole, you quickly realise that B.S.T. took quite a long time to […]
Texts: André & Aidan, Pics & Video: Aidan André Saturday, 13 August 2022 – Aidan and I are sitting together on a hot summer evening and creating one of our excellent playlists for you, which you constantly listen to.

Mit Aegis hat das Quartett aus Braunschweig nämlich ein fantastisches Debütalbum veröffentlicht, das mit einem hohen Grad an Eigenständigkeit und tiefer Emotionalität überzeugt (lest euch dazu doch einfach mal unseren Review durch). Vor diesem Hintergrund freuen wir uns sehr, […]

That was really a very difficult task…. Aidan (Divine Victim) 1. Wheel – Preserved in Time (album review by Ansgar) 2. Anahata […]
Release: 23.07.2021 English version below We are born in twilight, all forlorn, only rumbling from a heartbeat long ago. Es kommt nicht oft vor, dass mich ein Album bereits während des ersten Durchlaufes verzaubert. Flame, Dear Flame ist dieses Kunststück gelungen: Das Quartett aus Braunschweig schenkt der (Epic) Doom Metal-Welt mit Aegis ein hochemotionales Meisterwerk, […]
