Silence
by Rorcal

The album may be titled Silence, but Rorcals latest full-length is anything but silent.

Furia- Huta Luna (Album Review) Oct. 13, 2023

Huta Luna
by Furia

Furia has been one of the most intriguing bands to follow since their formation two decades ago.

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals

Germany may not be the first country people think of when it comes to death metal, but talented bands like Sulphur Aeon have helped to put it on the map over the past decade.

Laster- Andermans Mijne (Album Review) Oct. 11, 2023

Andermans Mijne
by Laster

Over the past decade, Laster has become one of my favorite bands within the black metal and avant-garde space.

Simulations of Hell
by Serration

This current era may be one of the best times to be a fan of metalcore, as just about every variant of the genre is represented.

I honestly can't believe it. I may have found the worst and CRINGIEST album of 2023... or possibly ever.

Industrial rock and metal may not be as prominent in the musical mainstream as they were throughout the 90s and 2000s, but newer groups like 3TEETH have showcased that the genre is alive and well.
