Born Under a Mad Sign
by Church of Misery

When it comes to Japanese metal that has had success internationally, Tokyo doom band Church of Misery is one of the first many listeners may think of. Since the mid-90s theyve been channeling the same slow grooves of Black Sabbath and other classic bands while singing/screaming about serial killers...

AVKRVST- The Approbation (Album Review) June 15, 2023

The Approbation
by AVKRVST

Norwegian progressive rock band AVKRVST has roots that go back quite some ways, as founding members Martin Utby and Simon Bergseth made a pact some two decades ago to form a band together, though when they actually got things started officially is a bit fuzzier. But no matter what the case may be, a...

Geld- Currency // Castration (Album Review) June 13, 2023

Currency // Castration
by Geld

Australian hardcore punk doesnt get mentioned quite as often as bands from other parts of the world, but there are plenty of noteworthy artists that are able to deliver the same in your face vocals and intense riffs. Melbournes Geld is another great example, as theyve offered up a noisy and aggressi...

Distortions from Cosmogony
by The Arcane Order

Its always great to see a band persevere over years and decades, weathering lineup changes and other hardships.

Khanate- To Be Cruel (Album Review) June 8, 2023

To Be Cruel
by Khanate

Across three full lengths and a handful of shorter releases, Khanate wrote drone/doom that stretched abrasive musical elements out to their most tense and dread inducing levels. Perhaps that wasnt surprising given the involvement Stephen OMalley and James Plotkin, who were already well into their ex...

Ascended Dead- Evenfall of the Apocalypse (Album Review) June 7, 2023

Evenfall of the Apocalypse
by Ascended Dead

While it may take some bands awhile to fully find their style, others come out of the gate with a clear vision of what they want to do and songwriting that is already at a high bar. Ascended Dead has always felt like the latter to me, as even their earlier demos and EPs showcased a group that was fo...

Thanatomass- Hades (Album Review) June 5, 2023

Hades (2023)
by Thanatomass

When it comes to black metal and black/death, theres something appealing about bands that can offer controlled chaos and massive, noisy production values. Groups like Sarcfago, Teitanblood, and Katharsis all cut their teeth on utterly abrasive and over the top performances, but there was substance u...

Whether youve listened to them in-depth or not, if youve spent any time with punk music chances are good youve come across a Rancid song or album. Since their formation in 1991, the band has made waves throughout the genre and their run from the 90s up until 2000 resulted in quite a few highly regar...

Thantifaxath- Hive Mind Narcosis (Album Review) June 2, 2023

Hive Mind Narcosis
by Thantifaxath

Thantifaxath is one of those bands that has left a lasting impression since their earliest releases, bursting into black metal seemingly from nowhere in 2011 and offering up a more experimental and dissonant take on the genre that fit well with bands like Deathspell Omega. The Toronto based group ha...
