On This Month's Fear Candy
This month's Fear Candy has fifteen tracks to send those summertime blues packing…
CD compiled by Miranda Yardley
Artwork by Ken Coleman

1. DEATH PENALTY
'Immortal By Your Hand' taken from the Rise Above album 'Death Penalty'
This is Catherdral's Gaz Jennings' new project. Gaz's big, heavy riffs are balanced perfectly by Michelle Nocon's commanding vocals. Satisfyingly authentic.

2. HAMMERFALL
'Bushido' taken from the Nuclear Blast album '(r)Evolution'
Nine albums in, Hammerfall again show that they are still the masters of Swedish sword and sorcery, with trills and thrills, melodic arpeggios and powerful vocals.

3. HOLLOW
'Sunriser' taken from the self-released album 'Mordrake'
'Mordrake' is this Canadian four-piece's second album of dark, terrifying mystical metal. Having been around for six years, they've played more than a bunch of shows around the Montreal area and have supported Einherjer, Aborted and Tyr.

4. PREMATURE BIRTH
'Revelation' taken from the self-released EP 'A Ceremony Of Power'
London black metal whippersnappers Premature Birth deliver nasty synth-drenched English black metal that echoes the grim yet halcyon days of early Cradle Of Filth and Hecate Enthroned.

5. THE ERKONAUTS
'The Great Ass Poopery' taken from the Erkonos Industry/Artist Head album 'I Did Something Bad'
Undoubtedly winners of "track name of the month", Swiss prog metallers The Erkonauts show off their instrumental virtuosity as well as their scampish sense of humour.

6. SATURN
'So, You Have Chosen Death' taken from the Rise Above album 'Ascending (Live In Space)'
Swedish retro space proggers Saturn sound like they just crash landed the party straight from 1972.

7. NECRONAUTICAL
'Ghosts Of Men' taken from the self-released album 'Black Sea Misanthropy'
The necronaut experiments with near-death experiences to then explore the underworld, here we have seven swaggering minutes of extreme eerie blackened metal to chill your bones.

8. OCTANIUM
'Dethrone' taken from the self-released album 'Suffer The Clock'
The bouncy riffs of South African five-piece Octanium leap through the air like a gazelle on heat, their genre-bending sound mixing scowling venomous vocals with melody and appropriately technical riffage.

9. TREVOR'S HEAD
'Start Something' taken from the Animal Farm EP 'Otherside'
With "meaty grooves and frantic fretwork from the south east's shittest suburb", Trevor's Head show the fine people of Redhill have a lot to be grateful for with their melodic heavy blues.

10. DESOLATOR
'Accelerator' taken from the self-released EP 'Accelerator'
If you like your speed thrash retro with a stack of reverb on the vocals, Southampton's Desolator may just float your boat. They are about to embark on their first UK tour.

11. NARROW HOUSE
'The Midwife To Sorrows' taken from the BadMoodMan album 'Thanathonaut'
Narrow House are one of Ukraine's first funeral doom bands who have now evolved to be what they call "apocalyptic doom". Their music is constructed in an almost architectural way, and is unrelentingly heavy.

12. BEGGAR
'Rut Like A Hog' taken from the self-released EP 'Beggar II'
These Bristol space cadets play sludgy, heavy blues-influenced metal and have just released their second EP innovatively called 'Beggar II'.

13. GENTRIFICATION
'Consumer Worship' taken from the self-released album 'Deviance'
Berlin's Gentrification have been around some six years, putting a political slant on extreme metal. They sing about social developments like emancipation, gender equality and gentrification itself.

14. VENTENNER
'Metacell' taken from the Sonic Fire Records album 'Distorture'
This is electro-rockers Venenner's third studio album and takes you back to the days of Mazza Manson's industrial anger of 'Antichrist Superstar'.

15. THE BODY POLITIC
'Armature' taken from the self-released EP 'Egressor'
These Western Canadians from Vancouver Island combine a mish-mash of elements in their tech metal sound. With melodic soaring vocals, this will make you feel unrelentingly and irritatingly positive.
