Animal Bouffe Animal
by Mourir

France has a knack for some of the bleakest and abrasive metal out there, particularly when it comes to the roster of Throatruiner Records. The one-man label has put out everything from black metal to sludge with a common element being how in your face and utterly hopeless all the bands sounded. Thi...

by Vaeok

Vaeok may be a new US black metal band, but the duo has spent time with the likes of Nightbringer, Kult ov Azazel, and Sargeist so theyre certainly not newcomers.

Lokabrenna
by Nawaharjan

Where some bands crank out new material every couple of years, others spend much longer honing their craft and leave it in the incubation chamber for quite some time.

Sob o Feitiço do Necrobode
