My favorite find of 2011 was this band of Swedish sickos. These metal punks walk the razor thin line between Autopsy and GG Allin PERFECTLY! If you don’t like raw and sloppy punked out death metal from the fucking sewer, then stop reading this NOW and go listen to some Symphony X you [...]

VIVA ESPANIA! This place is becoming the next death metal capital. MORBID FLESH sound like a cross between ASPHYX and Swedish death metal. Is this up your alley of blood? Then GET THIS ALBUM NOW! Traditional death metal that has the late 80s vibe to the style and sound. These maniacs had me [...]

2011 has died. And the end is near. December 12th 2012 will see the end of the world as we know it. So that gives me a few months to plague all of you with my rants and insults until we all meet our doom. Let me give you an update of what [...]

All good things must come to an end, though musicians often don’t realize this and go on making music way, way longer than they should. But those people are not Lee Dorrian, and he doesn’t want to overstay his welcome. His fans are sad, I’m sure, but you have to [...]

Somewhat of a continuation of Blackkout as members of that band switched in and out to birth TLT, but the sound of TLT is quite different than the technical/proggy thrash of Blackkout. With Circles and Butterflies expect the bands sound and song structures to feel similar to the hippie prog metal vibes of [...]

Anyone who reads this site with any regularity knows I like the doom metal. I’ll take it in all of its various forms. I like it when it’s deathy and loud, and I like it when it’s full of drone, and I like it when it sounds like it was [...]

The new one from Dim Mak…a record that should make you smile and want to pillage a community at the same time. “The Emergence of Reptilian Altars,” an album title that should clue you into the insanity and fun of this fourth full-length, is violent and downright nasty at times, [...]

Can we really call Canada’s Fuck the Facts a pure grind-core band any more? I mean, they certainly sound like death/grind, but pigeonholing the band into a single genre would be the easy way out, especially when taking their entire discography into account. This group may have started out as grind purists, [...]

Most people know Gregor Mackintosh as the lead guitarist for doom metal stalwarts Paradise Lost. Yet the gloom and sorrow conveyed by that band could not match what Mackintosh endured in 2009 when he watched his father John Robert Mackintosh die of cancer.
That life-altering experience led Mackintosh to take what [...]

Just a few days ago I posted the dates of Dark Funeral’s upcoming North American tour.  I was stoked more then ever to see them, especially since my band Immolith had the chance to be included as an opener for the Jan. 30th date in NYC.   Unfortunately news came down yesterday first [...]
