The Lightbringer – ‘From The Void To Existence’ (Self-Released)

Founded back in 2010 in Quebec, Canada, The Lightbringer deliver to us their third offering, ‘From The Void To Existence’. This is their first release since their almost flawless and majestic album ‘Heptanity’ in the summer of 2017, which was a full seven years after their debut album ‘Quintessence Of Dawn’. With this release the band takes a darker, more atmospheric approach, not only musically but also in the course of the storytelling throughout each of the tracks of this concept album.

Dee Calhoun – ‘Godless’ (Argonauta)

There must be something in the water in the state of Maryland, as two of the region’s most iconic doom metal frontmen have released solo albums within a couple of weeks of each other – and both have gone down the acoustic route in the process.

Granted, that doesn’t necessarily mean they like him or his followers, however if you accept the idea that belief in the Devil also means belief in God, then yes, Onslaught would be a Christian band. The Son Of God will return people, but he doesn’t yet know he’s going to be gang raped by demons and trigger a nuclear holocaust.

World Sanguine Report – ‘Skeleton Blush’ (LimitedNOISE)

Lots of things claim to be experimental these days without even really getting 1mm off the tried and tested footpath, yet ‘Skeleton Blush’ is definitely a release you cannot accuse that of, as Astrocreep now explains…

Ten Foot Wizard – ‘Get Out Of Your Mind’ (Beard Of Zeus)

Have you found yourself getting into new hobbies to try and pass the time at home? Jonny B definitely has; in fact he’s previously written about his adventures taking up yoga, which is absolutely something he never thought he would find himself doing! But as a result, he’s no stranger to hearing the term “namaste” at the end of a session, a term that is supposed to hold a fairly sacred meaning. But that didn’t stop Ten Foot Wizard putting their own unique spin on it when they dropped their excellent leading single for their new album – ‘Namaste Dickhead’…
