Italian prog (power) metallers DGM are back and if you are on the lookout for a vigorous and energetic output then make sure you grab a copy of this new life-affirming and fabulous creation of theirs. This thing is crisp and clear-sounding but packs plenty of punch, and there is an incredible flow to its…
The London-based act Brudini is something else entirely and there is no other way for me to describe this unique piece of work than a warm and vibrant mixture of eclectic and hugely original music that defies genre conventions and easy categorization. What makes ”From Darkness, Light” so special? The first few times I immersed…
Luxembourgian metal band Atomic Rocket Seeders release their first album
The German one-man black metal outfit named Suffering Souls unleashed this eleven-track compilation via Schwarzdorn Production a few days ago and the cursed thing consists of mastermind Lord Esgaroth’s demo offerings from 1998-2000 as well as a previously unreleased tune from 1996 and an exclusive (and utterly dreadful) live track. Musically and stylistically speaking, these…
Ever since the murderer of Darrell Lance "Dimebag" Abbott buried any chances of Pantera reforming, bands have been lining up to replace the Texan legend. Hatebreed was the most likely candidate and, at one point, the Virginian groove metalcorers Lamb Of God were in position to take the spot but then they went more in…
ENSLAVED TIL TRONDHEIM!
ASPHYX announce new studio album “Necroceros”
Genre eclectic acts such as Emperor, Dissection and Behemoth created a space where black and death metal could coexist in perfect equilibrium, a place the now sadly defunct Enforsaken briefly tapped into before extinquished by corporate greed. The Trondheim, Trondelag, Norwegian outfit Bolzö seems to have tapped the same vein on their debut EP but…
Vyrion – Australian Black-Metal Group Stream Entire New Album
Now this is something else entirely and I might as well start out by telling you that this Norwegian outfit’s sophomore effort entitled “Mycelium Days” is a progressive-sounding gem with a wonderfully cinematic vibe to it and yet its compositions are so introspective that they will inevitably get under your skin and stir every fiber…

THERE IS A STORM COMING – AN INTERVIEW WITH I AM PARIAH by Jens Nepper
Trans-Siberian Orchestra Announces Special Christmas Livestream Event
I was quite fond of the Belgian horde’s “The Black Hand of the Father” EP that was released a few years ago (2017) and I am pleased to announce that this upcoming full-length disc of theirs is a most worthy follow-up and just the kind of record you underground black metal fuckbags out there need…
HOKUM release evocative new single The Caress and unveil cinematic video
The foul German act named Beyond Helvete is back with a new full-length curse after an eight-year wait and offers aggressive, hate-filled black metal with a wicked groove to it. Sharp and intense but sufficiently melodic too, ”MMXX” is quite varied and the vocal work is strong and inspired. A prominent aura of misanthropy courses…
Scandinavians (Swallow The Sun, Katatonia) and The Britts (Anathema, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, The Drowning), be they as they may be the kings of melodic deathened doom, there are bands of equal talent coming from unlikely places such as the Netherlands (Officium Triste) or this here, Thurisaz, from Wervik, West Flanders, Belgium, which are…
