There are a few countries out there in the world that if I wanted to do a world tour of the best places to see metal at its finest, I’d go to quite a few places. Sweden, India, Greece, and … Continue reading Sepulchral Curse – At the Onset of Extinction
It’s probably debuts that are my favorite kinds of albums because it shows what’s going on inside the brains of the involved musician(s) who wrote it who don’t have to worry about repeating themselves or letting down fans because they’re … Continue reading Nil Miserans – s/t
The whole concept behind blackened death metal is to combine something raw (the black) and something brutal (the death) in order to create something that could peel away the rotting earth itself. And there’s not much “diversity” amongst the bands … Continue reading Serpent Spells – Mantras Within Ascending Fire
Thanks to a good friend of mine who is a bigger blackened death fan than I am, he thought to tell me of the piece that is Mourning Soul’s first full length album, “Ego Death (Ritual I)”. And when I … Continue reading Mourning Soul – Ego Death (Ritual I)
