This 202-page scholarly work by author Robert McParland, who is a professor of English and an associate dean of Arts and Sciences at Felician Univerity in New Jersey, was published last year by McFarland. What we are dealing with here is essentially a highly academic text on how heavy metal music and myth are inextricably…
Eternal Terror Live presents full album premiere for the Atmospheric Black Metal BARKASTH
New video from the Finnish döömers DÖ
On their excellent debut, the Norwegian melodic hard rock/metal act combine the best of Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, White Snake, The Scorpions and other hard’n’heavy likes for beautifully written and expertly executed time travel back to the times where rock and metal were both one and ubiquitous. We continue the Daniel Olaisen series,…

ETERNAL TERROR LIVE presents the premiere of the new single "Hunted" by Wolcensmen, the mesmerizing and unique project of Winterfyllet’s guitarist Dan Capp,
Here is yet another Graham Bonnet Band live offering, and this one, which was recorded in Tokyo back in 2017 (as its title so neatly suggests), is basically the twin brother of the Alcatrazz “Live on Parole – Tokyo 2017” release that came out last year. Quite a few live albums by the legendary vocalist…

Lindy-Fay Hella – new video & tour dates
For their 3rd installment the Canadian groove metal assembly choose to further follow in the footsteps of Pissing Razors, Pantera or Machine Head while nodding in agreement to early Deftones and latter Soilwork as well Angelo Badalamenti’s "Twin Peaks" for a well-rounded and compelling release. The Toronto, Ontario project was born a quintet as Big…
On their 2nd single from their upcoming 2020 EP the Californian alternative hard rock/metal group appeals to the fans of Korn, Staind, Incubus and late 90s Fear Factory, with superior songwriting bolstered by excellent production. In some metalhead circles it is a grave sin to like nu metal. The opponents of this genre claim that…

Inferno 2020: Vreid, Whoredom Rife and 1914
So, after stressing out about packing for Midgardsblot(note that the festival ended several days ago, meaning I did not finish the review by the time I was hoping to), putting my guitar down, buying way more beer than I am actually going to need for the aforementioned festival(I was right about this), and other such…
On their debut re-release the Egyptian black metal orchestra combines ancient Therion’s bombastic symphonic stylings with Sadist’s ominous esoteric atmospherics and Cradle Of Filth’s melodicism, doused liberally with Middle Eastern folklore, for a unique and mostly very good result. Odious, having formed in 1998, independently released their first demo "Summoned By Night" twice (2000, 2003),…
The debut album from the Finnish death/thrash metal ensemble is consistently pulverizing ancient Kreator/Slayer played in a traditional Judas Priest/Iron Maiden manner, with some progressive tendencies, showing great potential but not enough variation to sustain the listener’s interest. The Helsinki quartet presently featuring Oskar Lindström (vocals, guitar), Atte Aaltonen (bass, backing vocals), Anselmi Ahopalo (lead…
The 2nd album of the New Yorker death metallers is excellently written technical death/thrash with copious melody, drawing comparisons to Exhumed or Immolation, with excellent balance between technical skill and memorability. The Syracuse, NY ensemble presently consisting of Joshua Rivet (vocals), Ryan Caughey (guitars, programming), Derek Ponton (bass, backing vocals) and Vincent Lawyer (drums), formed…
The debut album from South African metal/hardcore outfit is exactly what you’d expect from the genre – harsh, heavy, screamed verses with very melodic clean vocal choruses the way Killswitch Engage or It Dies Today have been doing it since early 2000s, with not much original thought in lyric or note. Hasn’t everything been said,…
IN MOURNING premieres new single and video
Sharp and technical death metal with lethal riffs and crushing vocals to it is what the skilled and well-oiled murder machine that is Pesterous Mind offers. This 2019 offering of theirs entitled "Halluci.Nation" (notice the play on words there, folks) is akin to a raging storm that is hellbent on pulverizing everything and everyone that…
