This is a killer and totally solid death metal album that I enjoyed. It is almost HARD to classify. These guys have been at it for a while now. Some of these maniacs were in the thrash band Termination from the late 80s and later the death metal band Thanatopsis, from the same [...]

More deadly old school death metal, this time it spawns from The Netherlands. These sickos have actually been at it for a while, since 2001. Now the death metal that Massive Assault slays forth REEKS of ancient Swedish death metal. But regardless of what the influence is, or what the delivery is, Massive [...]

Enthroned, Belguim’s most respected Black Metal band, just released their ninth studio album, Obsidium.   Continuing in the progression that started for the band two albums ago, the new album contains nine crushing tracks of well produced, yet still grim satanic black metal.   Having had the honor of sharing the stage with Enthroned [...]

This is an interview that I originally did back in 2009 for my friend’s webzine THE WERKSHED. Annick is an interesting metal head and I felt that this was a cool interview and her story needs to be heard. This was done right as her book HELLBENT FOR COOKING came out and a short time [...]

Released towards the end of the summer of 1991, “Metallica” (or “The Black Album”) would take these thrash metal titans from the biggest thing in heavy metal, to pure rock god super stardom and stadium filling heroes to [...]

I like bands that, when you hear the name, you kind of know what’s ahead. There’s no guessing what a band called Behemoth might sound like. Same for Mournful Congregation. You’re going to get sad and depressed, aren’t you? You better believe it. Pretty sure when Slayer first came around, [...]

Ever wondered what it would be like to be buried alive? To hear the dull thud of earth as it hits the outside of your casket, shovelful by shovelful, slowly encasing you six feet below the living. To feel the slow process of decomposition invade first your mind and then your flesh. [...]

I am an unabashed, unapologetic fan of ’80s power metal. I grew up with it, I love it and I always will. The other night, I listened to Helloween’s “Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt. 1” in the shower and came to the conclusion the events detailed in “Twilight of [...]

I enjoyed Landmine Marathon’s last full-length effort, Sovereign Descent. It was a solid helping of bruising death/grind, but it lacked something. The production was tight — maybe too tight — and there was a subtle lack of ferociousness to be found throughout the album. In the end it didn’t really hurt Sovereign [...]
