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 [...]

I am not a huge fan of this band, but this video is fucking amazing. It reminds me of the creepy vibes from Tool videos.

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 [...]

Hailing from Venezuela, Chaos Avatar is a band you probably haven’t heard of. I know that before getting a press release from the band’s management, I had never heard of them either. However, that quickly changed after listening to a couple of the band’s albums. I was immediately hooked, and then began wondering why a [...]

The great thing about Between the Buried and Me, is that they are unstoppable when it comes to making good music. I could literally go on a 5 paragraph tirade about how shitty this new album is and everyone would just laugh whilst reading it knowing I was full of shit and probably accidentally listened [...]

Calling these guys overplayed is a bit of an exaggeration at this point since they are still very underground, even in their home nation of Germany. Nonetheless, We Butter the Bread With Butter is bound and determined to become the next pop culture metal sensation, and all I can do is lower my head in [...]

We, the Undersigned, yet another band hailing from the greater North East of Canada ( in this case, New Brunswick), bring us their latest release, We the Constants, which brings to the table a lot of energy and quality musicianship, but as we have seen with past acts, combining good intentions with musicianship doesn't always [...]

One of the many projects of the legendary Dan Swanö, Odyssey took the concept of progressive metal to the next level. By melding heavy death metal-like riffs with whimsical sound effects and the haunting clean vocals of Dan Swanö, the Odyssey EP, which would end up being the only thing released with this project, was [...]
