STREAM: Doomy Black and Death Metal from Arkansas band TORII June 13, 2018

Full disclosure, Eric (vocals) and I are familiar and have collaborated on some articles over at The Grim Tower.

MUSIC VIDEO: AS I LAY DYING Does Not Dissapoint with "My Own Grave" June 7, 2018

Look, I'm not going to make excuses for dude or get into a debate. He did a horrible, indefensible thing. Tim's going to have to prove that he changed, and for many that's still understandably not going to be enough. That's fine. I'm just here to say that this new As I Lay Dying track rips hard. It'...

From the ashes of Italian metal project Affronto comes oban, a somewhat difficult-to-classify fusion of black metal bleakness with post-hardcore sentiments.

FRESH TRACKS: "The Dark Sentencer" from COHEED & CAMBRIA June 6, 2018

I don't know about you, but I was severely disappointed with The Color Before The Sun. The single was fine, but the overall straight-forward and highly saccharine approach was not what I look for in a Coheed Cambria album. Fortunately, the band just dropped a new song, and it seems to signal a seri...
