By 1993, the Norwegian black metal scene was engaged in an all-out, lo-fi war with mainstream death metal and the society that condoned it. Dissection, forming in Sweden, didn't have much choice but to fraternize with death metal's royalty (they shared a practice space with At the Gates). Like many of the second wave's constituents, ...

OMG, A NEW GOROD TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We fully back French tech-death experts, Gorod. These guys are perfectionists and do not fuck around with their DM. They just released a new track, "Birds of Sulfur" which you can stream above.

Behold!! BEHOLD…THE ARCTOPUS Is Ressurrected
I nearly jizzed my pants when I saw that Vince Neilstein at MetalSucks deduced that Colin Marsten is resurrecting his mind-fuck of a band, Behold…The Arctopus. A message on their Bandcamp page reads: "2001 – we spawned. 2012 – we respawned." It just so happens to be 2012 right now, so we're in luck. The ...

EYEHATEGOD Appearing On HBO's Treme, You Can Be On Treme Too!
-
Artist:
While Treme has aired for two seasons on HBO, I've only managed to catch the first, and it was brilliantly depressing. I genuinely felt bad for these characters, mostly because they were representations of real victims of Hurricane Katrina. And this show is all about being genuine. When it comes to metal musicans from the NOLA area, none ...
