Paroxysmal- Force Feeder (Album Review) June 29, 2023

Force Feeder
by Paroxysmal

Californias Paroxysmal has been around since 2007, but up until this year they went by the name Paroxysmal Butchering. Their first two albums fell more into straightforward brutal death metal territory with bludgeoning riffs and guttural vocals, but 2019s Amygdala found them shifting away from some ...

Rainer Landfermann- Mehr Licht (EP Review) June 28, 2023

Mehr Licht
by Rainer Landfermann

Chances are good that youve heard Rainer Landfermanns over the top vocal work whether you know his name or not, as his performance on Bethlehems 1996 album Dictius Te Necare is still one of the most extreme all of metal has to offer. Landfermann also spent time as the bassist for technical death met...

None Shall Prevail

П​о​л​я​р​н​а З​о​р​я (Polaris)
by Burnt Offering

Burnt Offering may be a German based black metal band, but the musicians that make up their lineup have roots in Ukraine and their material has taken influence from quite a few of the groups that started off what would become Ukrainian black metal. Early on their sound was much rawer and went for a ...

Helleruin- Devils, Death and Dark Arts (Album Review) June 21, 2023

Devils, Death and Dark Arts
by Helleruin

Dutch black metal band Helleruin has become a force to be reckoned with over the past eight years, writing material that spanned a wide range of genre styles while emphasizing less straightforward songwriting than some of their peers. 2021s War Upon Man and the Invincible split from last year showca...

Considering how many decades it has been now since some of the earliest crust punk, d-beat, and everything in between, it can be hard for a newcomer to stand out. A lot of groups choose a particular variant of hardcore or punk, whether its on the Japanese, Scandinavian, or American side, and throw t...

Church of Misery- Born Under a Mad Sign (Album Review) June 19, 2023

Born Under a Mad Sign
by Church of Misery

When it comes to Japanese metal that has had success internationally, Tokyo doom band Church of Misery is one of the first many listeners may think of.

AVKRVST- The Approbation (Album Review) June 15, 2023

The Approbation
by AVKRVST

Norwegian progressive rock band AVKRVST has roots that go back quite some ways, as founding members Martin Utby and Simon Bergseth made a pact some two decades ago to form a band together, though when they actually got things started officially is a bit fuzzier. But no matter what the case may be, a...

Geld- Currency // Castration (Album Review) June 13, 2023

Currency // Castration
by Geld

Australian hardcore punk doesnt get mentioned quite as often as bands from other parts of the world, but there are plenty of noteworthy artists that are able to deliver the same in your face vocals and intense riffs. Melbournes Geld is another great example, as theyve offered up a noisy and aggressi...

Khanate- To Be Cruel (Album Review) June 8, 2023

To Be Cruel
by Khanate

Across three full lengths and a handful of shorter releases, Khanate wrote drone/doom that stretched abrasive musical elements out to their most tense and dread inducing levels. Perhaps that wasnt surprising given the involvement Stephen OMalley and James Plotkin, who were already well into their ex...
