Knife - Knife (Album Review) Oct. 19, 2021

Knife
by Knife

Its rather surprising that there arent more metal bands that have used the name Knife, but these Germans are more than happy to make up for lost time with a sound that could have been ripped straight out of the 80s. Spanning a little bit of everything speed/heavy metal and hard rock with some hints ...

Misanthur - Ephemeris (Album Review) Oct. 18, 2021

Ephemeris (2021)
by Misanthur

When it comes to modern Polish black metal, one element that often ties bands together is a grittier, urban tone. No matter what wide range of influences bands pull in, theres something about those from Poland that nail that bleak and chaotic feeling of everyday life, and this holds true of Misanthu...

Imperial Congregation

Himmellegeme - Variola Vera (Album Review) Oct. 11, 2021

Variola Vera
by Himmellegeme

Psychedelic and progressive rock have been dominated by Scandinavian bands over the past decade, but even within this region those genre tags can mean vastly different things.
