The world of groove metal is almost always an odd one since I feel that many people don’t give the style enough credit since it almost always feels like a “safe” route for metal since it’s not too fast, not … Continue reading The Black Hounds – Colossus
For the last few years, there have been bands popping up all across the world that sometimes defy classification and just play straight metal. Oftentimes, a band will make a very complex sound that makes it hard to pin down … Continue reading Omega Diatribe – Trinity
