Unlike many of their thrash peers from their 80’s heyday, Slayer has remained as heavy as ever, putting out album after album of pulse pounding, boundary pushing, audible heresy. However, many metalheads (i.e. those who don’t cut themselves in the name of the band as a form of ridiculous worship), have been critical of several [...]
First and foremost, let me preface this review by saying that my thoughts are with Evile after the untimely passing of bassist Mike Alexander. While not as a result of unnatural causes if you will, Mike’s passing reminds me too much of Cliff Burton’s death. Mike died right at the pinnacle of the band breaking [...]
Cali doom rockers Dusted Angel confirm a five-day West Coast jaunt with Nebula late this month and into December.The Santa Cruz-based doom/rock unit DUSTED ANGEL features members of Bl’ast, Spaceboy, Gargautula and more. Their debut EP is available via Itunes now, with an extra song that is not available on the 7″ release of the [...]
I was looking forward to this album for sometime from Portuguese prog metallers Factory of Dreams after listening to one song which I thought held a lot of potential. After waiting for several weeks, I finally received the full length A Strange Utopia, upon listening to it in its entirety a few times, I can [...]
Hungarian black metal. Just writing that makes it sound evil and foreboding doesn’t it? Aetherius Obscuritas have been around since 2002, but Black Medicine is my first exposure to the band, and it’s definitely a well received one.The vocals of Arkhorrl (who actually also records all the instruments) is the highlight of Black Medicine, they [...]
I never thought of it really, but Soviet Russia, as a concept, was meant to be played in doom metal. The unbearable cold days, totalitarian oppression, and vodka….lots of vodka. What could spell doom more than the KGB dragging you out of a brothel by your toes for cursing Lenin in front of an undercover [...]
We all know that metal vids can be dreadful, so we can let the quality of this one slide since it’s for such a fantastic song. This is Scar Symmetry’s “Noumenon And Phenomenon” off of their latest album, Dark Matter Dimensions.
I have no qualms about revealing my utter admiration for the band known as Scar Symmetry. Their last two albums have been totally brilliant, so when I found out that vocalist Christian Ãlvestam was departing the band, I was quite dismayed as I never really thought Scar Symmetry would find a vocalist with the same [...]
Now I don’t about you guys, but I’d kill to have ribs with Obituary BBQ sauce on them! Weird you say? I don’t even give a care, because Obituary rocks, so the BBQ sauce must do the same. It’s fate. Here is the press release:Trevor Peres, guitarist of long running Florida death metal legends Obituary, [...]
Baltimore’s Anubis Unbound, a metalcore/melodic death metal band, released their first full length last year in the form of Through Cursed Eyes. This is the first I have heard from this outfit, and one thing I am very happy to hear is a lack of deathcore in their music. While Through Cursed Eyes isn’t “old [...]

Candlelight Records today confirms February 9 as the American release date for Mechanize, the seventh studio album from Fear Factory. Mechanize features the highly reported reconciliation of vocalist Burton C. Bell with original guitarist Dino Cazares along with bassist Byron Stroud and journeyman drummer Gene Hoglan (Dethklok, Strapping Young Lad). The anticipated album also welcomes [...]
Not the best audio, but between hers and Nightwish’s Marco Hietala vocals, the band’s live performance of “Control the Storm” from Delain’s latest album April Rain seemed like a damn good one. Oh, and Charlotte Wessels is incredibly smoking hot. Thank God she is in a metal band.
Noriega is a band I have been waiting to appear on the scene. Combining metalcore and doom metal, Noriega are finally that bridge between the stoner/doom sensation of the last year or two, and the recent past’s indelible presence of metalcore. Ironically though, despite having a very modern image and a metalcore highlight (due in [...]
The Dark Castle van never idles for very long… they’re back out on the road now for another long stretch up the East Coast, Midwest and Southern US. The duo is storming through towns alongside The Atlas Moth for the majority of the tour, and also joined by Black Cobra, Darsombra, Struck By Lightning and [...]
Well, not out and out metal like some of their counterparts, by La Fin Du Monde play off the success of Isis and the new release from A Storm of Light to bring us Californian styled instrumental rock, and it’s damn good! I do have to wonder though, does the band take their name from [...]
