Blistering and aggressive death metal with a mad touch of grind and deathcore to it is what the German sickos known as Necrotted offer and this 4-track EP of theirs is a lethal slab of brutality that is as concise as it is in your face. Starting off with the gut-punching title track, the four…
OCCULT METALLERS ACÂRASH RELEASE NEW SINGLE FROM UPCOMING ALBUM
NECK OF THE WOODS release a new video
The Artisan Era have been the source of progressive technical metal for my reviewing purposes for a couple of years now, and while I do appreciate Inanimate Existence, Singularity, Immanifest, Equipoise and Flub, I’m beginning to notice a growing trend: bands with either no identity, sounding almost exactly like their labelmates, often having a hard…
Munich Based Post-Hardcore Band Oakhands Release New Video; Album Out Now Through This Charming Man Records
Interview with Kjetil Nordhus, vocalist of Green Carnation
If you’re going to make an anti-Islamic black metal album worth the vinyl or plastic it is pressed on you had better ensure of two things: you have the knowledge, skills and abilities to pull it off and that the identities of all of your 4 members stay completely hidden behind the corpse paint and…
Belgian Progressive Metal Unit Unveils “Gutter Love” Video; Propaganda Nears Release Via Pelagic Records
BRANT BJORK share groovy third single taken from upcoming solo album "Brant Bjork"; out May 29th on Heavy Psych Sounds.
Not a huge fan of power metal genre, I do make some exceptions for the likes of Evergrey or Helloween, so if a power metal album download catches my attention it’s a holiday. More often than not, the few sample songs turn out to be the highlights of an otherwise good but not great album.…
Raz ft. Chad Porter – Offer You A Lie (Offical Lyric Video)
No, this is not a typo, "Mind Matter" really was released nearly 2 years ago and I am just now getting to it. Every once in a while we get albums from artists who had released them long time ago and ask us to review them and this is one of those albums, Joakem’s only…
Alas, as promised, another Jon Asher/Asher Media Relations release review is upon you. Although this Canadian ensemble can rightly be called progressive melodeath drawing comparisons to Arch Enemy, Scar Symmetry, Soilwork and, but of course, latter Death, they are one of the most unique bands in the genre for their unpredictible and plain weird song…
There is something about the 3rd and 4th Sepultura albums, "Beneath The Remains" and "Arise" which brings a longing for the death/thrash of old where the two genres were so inextricably linked the hyphen was pointless. The Canadian one-man band, Scorn, brings back some of that feeling while reaching into ancient Deicide, where it seems…
WINTERFYLLETH Announce ‘Autumn Equinox’ European Tour with PANOPTICON and ALDA
Ara is a kind of large parrot. To name this parrot a double "a" implies unique quality and so it is with this Swiss black metal ensemble on their 2nd album, where the traditional black alternates for truly progressive and gorgeous richly multimelodic tapestry, bringing such names as early Alcest and latter Dark Tranquillity to…
VANDENBERG REVEAL LYRIC VIDEO FOR ‘FREIGHT TRAIN’
22 to release their newest single on Friday. But this is also their latest single for an undetermined amount of time.
Interview with Janne Jaloma (Night Crowned, Dark Funeral)
Most doom bands tend to adhere more or less to Peaceville tradition, with some variations. Today’s genre suffers from lack of innovation and original thought but every once in a while there comes an act that eschews convention. Such is the Canadian quartet, Loviatar, on their 2nd album, who takes doom base and builds on…
