These days the metal community appears to be much more open-minded when it comes to genre resurrection than ever before. In my early 1980’s youth, once pastures moved heavier, speedier, or more underground, it seemed you needed to maintain distance from your previous musical loves. How silly it was thinking back that you couldn’t appreciate…
I går kveld ble det klart at det finske black metal bandet SATANIC WARMASTER var tatt av Hellfest plakaten etter press fra andre Hellfest-aktuelle band. Vår islandske venn Eivindur Gauti tok kontakt med Werwolf og sendte over noen spørsmål for å få noen oppklarende svar fra finnene.
While Transylvania has provided much of the inspiration for BM throughout the years, we have not seen too many bands actually hailing from the plains and mountains of Central Romania. Siculicidium have come to right the imbalance with their debut full-length “Utolsó vágta az Univerzumban”, translated as "Last Gallop in the Universe". The music is…
Labelled as Metalcore all over the web, I would rather say that TEOAT is just as close to hardcore with a lot of screamo tendencies on the vocal front. Nevertheless, I kind of grew to like this one. The riffing is progressive and highly technical. It is al performed like clockwork and the production is…
Top T3ree Releases of 2010 ALCEST "Écailles de Lune"I’ll choose Alcest to give a few words to simply because they are a new entity to me and I have been so surprised by their "Écailles de Lune" album. This album is simply stunning in it’s almost naive approach. Musically bare and open, I struggle to…
I dag slippes debutfullengderen til belgiske PLAAG på Misantrof Antirecords. Skiva slippes i både CD format og som gratis nedlasting fra nettet.
The American metal five-piece by the name of Kylesa has been making heads bang and bodies move since 2001, now they are back for more with their fifth studio album "Spiral Shadow". Trying to live up to the high reviews off last years "Static Tensions" Kylesa has made yet another powerhouse of an album. It…
1. What was your favorite album and/or metal moment of 2010?– My favorite album is not from 2010, but became a big favorite of mine in 2010… Behemoth- "Evangelion". It’s about as strong, and well written as metal gets! You can hear the time they put into writing, and composing it! 2. What do you…
I for one applaud certain individuals willing to re-issue long lost gems that may not have received their just exposure due to the original label’s lack of marketing funds or the sheer number of bigger releases gaining attention over the independent product. Such is the case with "Desperate Business" from American act the Brian McDonald…
BLACK MAGIC og DISKORD klare for TIL DOVRE FALLER 2011! Festivalen arrangeres på Dovre Hotell 30/9 og 1/10.
Konsert neste lørdag med ÖVERHEAD på Tribute i Sandnes.
My first impression of “Again Came The Storm” should prove to be mistaken. At first listen, or glance for that matter, Icewind appeared to be nothing but another melodic power metal band in the endless sea of such. But after listening to it for a couple of days, I caught myself humming to their melodies…
Arizona’s Flotsam and Jetsam continue to be highly underrated, straddling the line of power and thrash metal with persistent hooks and the unmistakable vocal heroics from Eric A.K. "The Cold" represents their most dynamic and moody recording since the Cuatro era. The stop/ start chug thud throughout “Black Cloud” and quiet to explosive transitions within…
Alt lå an til en bra kveld før TNTs Releasegig for plata "Engine" skulle starte. Det var god stemning blant de fremmøtte, og fansen jeg snakket med hadde store forventinger. Før rockelegendene i TNT skulle entre scenen, hadde Karina Hanssen fått æren av å varme opp Rockefellers publikum. En intro med trommer og sirener skulle…

(…this interview is in English…) Adam Jarvis tok over stikkene i Misery Index i 2004 og har siden den gang gitt bandet en stabilitet musikalsk samtidig som han har vært stødigheten selv der bak. Han forteller her at det var Igor Cavalera (ex-Sepultura) og albumet "Beneath the Remains" som var årsaken til at Adam begynte med trommer og metal i det store og hele. Han skulle ønske han kunne øve mer, men innser også at det er godt å legge bort stikkene i visse perioder. Les mer om Adam Jarvis fra Misery Index og hans bidrag til The Blast Beast Series.
1. What was your favorite album and/or metal moment of 2010?– Favorite album: Masterplan – "Time To Be King". Favorite moment: Playing in Spain on the Hard & Heavy Tour. 2. What do you most look forward to for your band in 2011?– New album “Dark Secrets” coming out, and playing as much live…
