91 All Stars, Retour Vers La Lumière. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision rating 8.5/10

It is always in the best intentions that a single flashlight being seen on the horizon, that the silence of the bleakest moment is infused by the sighting of a match being struck, or the opportunity that arises to get bearings from the sudden flash of lightning on the wildest of nights can do for the soul; it is in those intentions to that ask of you to return to some distant safety, that ask you to return to the light.

Eyrn Non Dae, Meliora. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It’s been a while since this extreme of Metal sounded this good, call the genre that it subsets itself into what you will but Eyrn Non Dae and their 2012 album Meliora could almost wipe the floor with anything that pretends to be its equal. The sound is exquisitely loud, brash, fundamentally outspoken and following in the tradition the likes of Slayer, Cannibal Corpse and Birmingham’s Esoteric but with that Gallic charm that overpowers the senses whilst talking sweetly and lovingly in your ear.
