Never did I once think that out of the City of Brotherly Love would come a melodic death metal band that showed promise that Parius have done with their debut track “Confined” off of their upcoming debut album, “Saturnine”. Let … Continue reading Parius – Confined (single)
I remember reading articles about “Got Your Six” months before it’s release with band members like Zoltan (guitarist) saying how this album will be much more brutal and dynamic, and I highly doubted that. Mainly because their 3 latest albums at that … Continue reading Five Finger Death Punch – Got Your Six
What is something that a small band needs to lift themselves off the ground and really show the world that they aren’t messing around? A killer sound, and it the world of metal that fact is doubled as there is … Continue reading Black Ink Sun – Take the Fall
Cryptopsy have been known for being one of those bands that have been literally molding extreme metal into what it is today and they have done some great things. Well with “The Book of Suffering – Tome 1” being the … Continue reading Cryptopsy – The Book of Suffering – Tome 1
I am a fan of almost all sorts of black metal and have explored my fair share of its many, many sub-genres. Blackened thrash, blackened death, atmospheric, and blackened doom are some of my favorites because they work so well … Continue reading Meuchelmord – Apathie
The genre that is known as progressive death metal has seen so much weirdness in its time here on planet Earth that it is ridiculous, and just by looking at that cover art you know as well as I do … Continue reading Xenosis – Sowing the Seeds of Destruction
Any black metal band that dashes out their black metal without hesitation and does it fast and loud is normally a good one. That’s not always the case or true, I will admit, but it holds firm in the case … Continue reading Ancient Spheres – In Conspiracy with the Night
This is not the rawest black metal that I’ve heard before in my life, but it is some of the best quality if you ask me. Black Lord’s latest helping of black metal, “Black Ritual Forest”, stands as a testament that this genre is still cranking out solid bands with awesome minds to create very new albums that have both a fresh feel to them and a traditional sound at the same time. This album begins and also ends with completely atmospheric intentions that are meant to really set the mood, and they do a phenomenal job. The rest of … Continue reading Black Lord – Black Ritual Forest
“Halo of Blood” was this band’s crowning achievement. It led to the top of the metal world for a small period of time, and it has kept that as one of the most popular melodic death metal bands in today’s world. Today, Children of Bodom has released their brand new album, “I Worship Chaos”, and I believe 100% that this album is an equal to its predecessor which says a lot to any of us who heard that album and liked it. I’m not bullshitting you either with that statement because this album is exactly what we wanted from it. Each and … Continue reading Children of Bodom – I Worship Chaos
I remember hearing Arreat Summit’s debut full length, “Feast of the Wicked”, and thinking to myself, “pretty good, but can be done a little better”. And their newest release, “Frostburn”, proves that Arreat Summit have really started to create music that sounds both dynamic and interesting for anything who can listen to death metal like myself. The first thing that got my attention was the hooks that the guitars pulled off very nicely at the beginning and at several points throughout the two tracks that are featured on this EP. The vocals had a good rasp to them that usually … Continue reading Arreat Summit – Frostburn
