Winterfylleth announce headline London show
Having only just played London supporting the mighty Primordial, Winterfylleth have announced a headline show in the capital but this one's a bit special. Taking place at The Black Heart in Camden, the venue is tiny, i'd estimate 140(?) people max . Not only is the venue tiny they've got The King Is Blind supporting and tickets are a mere £8.25. If you're not familiar with this UK act of Monolithic Metal then check them out below. If you want to go i'd get on this one fast as it'll sell out fast. Winterfylleth are coming off a cracking year in 2014 having released the sublime "The Divination of Antiquity" so it's questionable just how much longer you'll have chance to see them in such an intimate setting.

Callisto Secret Youth Review
Callisto return with their fifth LP, Secret Youth and while this still has a lot of Callisto's dark, progressive and distinctive sound, it's a little more stripped back. Gone are some of the more sombre jazz like sections found on Noir and Providence.
"Pale Pretender" opens the album with a dark and atmospheric riff. Jani Ala-Hukkala's almost Mike Patton-esque crooning leads the song toward a soaring chorus. While this may not be as heavy as Noir or True Nature Unfolds, this track is brimming with...

Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin performing Profondo Rosso
GOBLIN TO PERFORM LIVE SOUNDTRACK TO PROFONDO ROSSO Ask any movie fan with a sweet spot towards horror films to name a Dario Argento film and 9 times out of 10 you'll undoubtedly hear Dawn of the Dead or Suspiria as the answer. But then take a look at the overall ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and you'll find another film by Argento scoring a huge 95% rating - the same as both Dawn of the Dead and Suspiria. This is the criminally overlooked Profundo Rosso (Deep Red), his masterpiece slasher from 1975. It's critics consensus is "The kinetic camerawork and brutal over-the-top gore that made Dario Argento famous is on full display, but the addition of a compelling, complex story makes Deep Red a masterpiece". Yeah that's right a masterpiece, and you've seen it yeah? No? Then read on...
