BLEEDING FIST – Devil’s Ferox (War Productions, Portugal – 300 copies on Cassette format)

by Janet Willis
Bleeding Fist is for the serious old-school black metal fan with their own vile mixture of the first and second waves of black metal that’ll scorch the scalp right off your skull. Bleeding Fist is a refreshing return to form, back when the spirit and soul of the bands were to spread and [...]

SANGUIS IMPEREM – In Glory We March Towards Our Doom (Hells Headbangers)

By: Mike Abominator
These Southern California maniacs in Sanguis Imperem have been making some of the heaviest doomy AND grinding death metal that we have ever heard for quite a few years now. They remind me of some bastard child of Satan, Bolt Thrower and early Grave. The riffs are totally crushing and pulverizing. There is [...]

NEIGE et NOIRCEUR – Hymnes de la Montagne Noire (Sepulchral Productions)

by Janet Willis
Every time this album comes on in my “reviews” playlist it reminds me a lot of the Finnish female solo act Cold who released that harsh and primitive scratchy black metal album “Anguished” last Winter on Hammer of Hate. The similarity is in the shriek of the vocals, it’s somewhere between a banshee [...]

THE SULLEN ROUTE – Apocalyclinic (Solitude Productions)

by Janet Willis
Simply put, bands like The Sullen Route are very few and far between these days.
Their sound is somewhere between the more melodic and dark instrumental traits of Isis, and a uniquely delicate balance between their own debut’s surreal and intricate doom/death funereal atmospheres. On Apocalyclinic the band is less suffocating and abysmal, [...]

BLACK TUSK – Set the Dial (Relapse Rec.)

by Brian Krasman (Meat Mead Metal)
You have to love a band that compels you to drink beer and grill large quantities of meat the moment you hear their music. I feel like a broken record saying that about Savannah, Ga., sludgers Black Tusk because I’m pretty sure I write that every time I discuss this [...]

MEGADETH – Th1rt3en (Roadrunner Rec.)

by Brian Krasman (Meat Mead Metal)
No matter what you think of Dave Mustaine’s music or personality, you can’t deny that he’s a survivor. Kicked out of Metallica before the band exploded to stardom, he struggled with substance problems and a constantly rotating cast of musicians in his own band Megadeth, and despite having a deliriously [...]
