Death and doom metal are some of my favorite sub-genres of metal simply because of the overwhelming amount of bands between those two. Ocean of Grief, however, manage to be one of those few bands that combine the two to … Continue reading Ocean of Grief – Fortress of My Dark Self
DevilDriver for me has always been one of those bands that sound like many others (or others sound like them, whatever) and they have appealed to me with their feel and overall sound, but I’ve never been able to get … Continue reading DevilDriver – Trust No One
I think we can all agree that samurais are pretty metal, no? Imagining samurai themed metal sounds like an over the top, ridiculous pipe dream that sounds like it would be a real mess with way too much shit going … Continue reading Whispered – Metsutan – Songs of the Void
In the world of metal, there are many bands out there that have made names for themselves in their own subcategories of the genre, and for melodic death metal the most famous group has to be without a doubt Amon … Continue reading Amon Amarth – Jomsviking
I’m one of those people that since I don’t live in China and haven’t been in that culture for all my life, I am absolutely enthralled by it. Chinese themed movies, stories, music, folklore, and all that good stuff are … Continue reading Black Kirin – National Trauma
As one of the most renowned, known, and respected melodic death metal bands to have ever existed, Amon Amarth have never once disappointed their fans as each album that they put out is a vicious blast of viking mythology and … Continue reading Amon Amarth – First Kill (single)

“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
If recently you have ever thought to yourself “damn, I want a brand new band to put a debut album that is some kick ass melodic death metal” then you are in fucking luck as Nothing Lies Beyond’s upcoming debut album, “Fragile Reality”, fits those requirements perfectly! The vocals off of this have a real guttural sound to them while they still maintain a good amount of melody that had a fantastic feel that carried on for all 30+ minutes of “Fragile Reality”. In each track there were brutal guitars that had great hooks and riffs to them that would … Continue reading Nothing Lies Beyond – Fragile Reality
It’s always good to know that there are new bands out there doing their own things with the genres that we all know and love, and in this case Never Again has only strengthened my love for melodic death metal with their newest EP, “Death Metal Tsunami”. While I cannot understand a single word that the vocalist is saying at any time, they have a terrific sound that is both super intense and just filled with anger while still having that nice tinge of melody because melodic death metal. There are 3 songs in total off of this EP and … Continue reading Never Again – Death Metal Tsunami
