Jools Green

WRITER
Metal has been Jools' passion for as long as she can remember. But for the last thirty years, she has been gradually leaning further towards the more extreme and underground end of the genre, particularly Black and Death Metal.


Jools loves the prospect of discovering a new band or album it makes every day worthwhile. She has been writing for MetalTalk for over thirteen years.

She also occasionally writes for "A Certain Taste" webzine and has, in the past, written for a few other, now defunct sites.

Cancer / Inverted World Is A Masterclass In Death Metal

With Inverted World, Death Metal pioneers Cancer deliver a searing and sinister slab of brutality. Set for release on April 25, 2025, the album marks a fierce return with founding member John Walker joined by a dynamic new lineup. Lyrically confronting manipulation, cult mentalities, and historical atrocities, each track is a dark, thought-provoking journey powered by relentless riffs, thunderous drums, and haunting growls. Inverted World is both a statement of intent and a brutal reminder that Cancer remain a force to be reckoned with. Words: Jools Green @cancerofficialband @peacevillerecords
