Ave Noctum is a brand new webzine set up in Jan 2012 by the creative forces behind long-running publications metalteamuk.net and live4metal.com, with the intent of becoming a reliable source for fans of extreme music and film alike, and with a strong focus on covering stuff that is dark, atmospheric and extreme. Unlike a number of ‘zines out there, we take pride in producing content that is of a consistently high quality in terms of being well-written and well-researched. The internet brings a great opportunity to offer a real alternative to the mainstream press, and this website is aimed at the reader who wants to read content that is more in-depth than what is currently available.

Primal Code – Opaque Fixation (Relapse Records) ⋆ Ave Noctum

|
By Martin Harris
| Ave Noctum Verified
Since forming in 2021 this US death metal act has released a demo, split and EP in quick succession as this marks the band’s first, and hopefully not the last, full length. You rarely get to hear a straight up death metal album these days due to many of the acts adding technical or progressive touches and even adding cleaner vocals much to chagrin of old school death fans.

Spider God – Possess The Devil (Repose Records) ⋆ Ave Noctum

By Pete Woods
| Ave Noctum Verified
Good luck to anyone trying to keep up with Spider God as G their arachnid muse never stops spinning his musical web. Since 2020 there have been a staggering 26 releases (according to Metal Archives) of varying lengths and types and there is some serious creativity behind the project.

Persecutory - The Glorious Persecution (Godz ov War)

|
By Andrew Doherty
| Ave Noctum Verified
I am familiar with this band and their two previous albums prior to this EP, and can say from past experience that they leave no stone unturned. Both were hard, fast, menacing and punishing but in a way that as a listener it was impossible to avoid getting caught up in the death-black metal maelstrom. Compromise wasn’t in the vocabulary of these Turkish metallers previously and I couldn’t for a minute envisage that this situation was going to change.

Thy Catafalque - XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek (Season of Mist)

|
By Andrew Doherty
| Ave Noctum Verified
It’s one thing to be creative and another to able to express the creativity in a way that intrigues and captivates listeners. Tamás Kátai as Thy Catafalque has been doing both for 25 years. Each of the eleven albums so far has been unusual and remarkable. Captured as “avant-garde”, the music could be described as black metal, Hungarian-based folk, epic, symphonic and frankly wherever the artist’s mind takes him. At times it’s like a journey through the cosmos.

Ershetu – Yomi (Debemur Morti) ⋆ Ave Noctum

| Ave Noctum Verified
Towards the end of last year, I found myself reviewing what was easily the strangest album (I use the term loosely, quite frankly) I’ve encountered in many a long year. It wasn’t an album in the traditional sense, but rather an aural recreation of Mayan death rites, based on material found in the sacred Mayan text, the Popul Vuh.

Ploughshare - Second Wound (I, Voidhanger)

|
By George Caley
| Ave Noctum Verified
I can’t be absolutely sure when Ploughshare formed but this Australian group put their first EP Literature Of Piss out in 2017 and thus followed some acclaim for the band’s debut full length In Offal, Salvation. Since then they have gone on to release a further EP and second record in Ingested Burial Ground. I was excited to hear they were still about and based on the debut I was eager to give this new third full length a review.

Sepultura, Jinjer, Obituary & Jesus Piece – Manchester & London 11/24 ⋆ Ave Noctum

|
By Marco Gaminara
| Ave Noctum Verified
Manchester Academy – 8/11/24 First up on this varied bill were Philadelphia’s Jesus Piece, who have been building an impressive reputation in recent years, not least due to their incendiary live shows, and tonight was an opportunity for them to showcase themselves to a slightly wider audience. They wasted no time tearing into the ever expanding crowd who returned the favour with a lively pit.

Auriferous Flame – The Insurrectionists and The Caretakers (True Cult Records) ⋆ Ave Noctum

|
By Demitri Levantis
| Ave Noctum Verified
It pains me beyond compare to know that the far right is on the rise again across Europe and, at the time of writing this review, has once again taken over the most notorious and dangerous nation on the planet. That gives more than enough reasons for the average human being to go mental both physically and emotionally. Plus, it fuels the golden light of creativity that shines through the fightback against the bigots who want to control every aspect of our lives.

Chaos Invocation – Wherever We Roam (AOP Records) ⋆ Ave Noctum

|
By Martin Harris
| Ave Noctum Verified
This is the fifth album by Germany’s Chaos Invocation who I was introduced to on their second album ‘Black Mirror Hours’ and reviewed for the site back in 2013. I have kept up with the band since as each subsequent album has been a textbook demonstration in blackened death metal and this latest album is no different.
