Degenerations
by Diskord

Theres a lot of weird and experimental death metal out there, but Norways Diskord has always taken that in some radically different directions than many of their peers. For the better part of two decades, theyve gone for a dizzying array of riffs and ever-changing drum patterns, with their two album...

Septage - Septisk Eradikasyon (EP Review) Aug. 9, 2021

Septisk Eradikasyon
by Septage

It hasnt even been a year since Septages debut Septic Decadence showcased the Danish bands utterly filthy and gross take on death metal and grind, but theyve already prepared a follow-up. That effort offered four songs in under twelve minutes, this was a strong first showing that reminded me of Auto...

The press material for Lucers latest album lists them as one of Denmarks most popular rock bands, and while I really cant prove or disprove that here in the United States I did some quick Spotify dives to find out more about them and the newly released L.A.

Disillusionist - Love & Anxiety (EP Review) Aug. 6, 2021

Love & Anxiety
by Disillusionist

It has been a little while since I reviewed a proper post hardcore/screamo album, but when a newer band is able to capture that same frantic energy and emotion as some of the more influential in the genre that immediately catches my attention.

Greywalker - Le Cachot (EP Review) Aug. 4, 2021

Le Cachot
by Greywalker

Since early and mid-2000s metalcore was one of the first styles of heavy music I got into after the nu-metal explosion in the late 90s, mentioning that a band is trying to recapture this same sound is a great way to grab my attention. Thats exactly what happened with Pittsburghs Greywalker, who have...

Thelemism
by Thelemite

Greece might not be the first country you think of when it comes to modern heavy and power metal, but there have been plenty of great artists that have been putting their own spin on these classic genres over the decades. One that was new to my ears is Thelemite, who formed in 2010 and released thei...

Moanaa - Embers (Album Review) Aug. 2, 2021

Embers
by Moanaa

Ive joked with FlightOfIcarus in the past that we could cover a metal band from Poland every few days and realistically not run out of material, as the country has generated just as many if not more artists than some of the bigger ones out there. And with a recent CD delivery from Deformeathing Prod...
