Animal Bouffe Animal
by Mourir

France has a knack for some of the bleakest and abrasive metal out there, particularly when it comes to the roster of Throatruiner Records.

Vaeok
by Vaeok

Vaeok may be a new US black metal band, but the duo has spent time with the likes of Nightbringer, Kult ov Azazel, and Sargeist so theyre certainly not newcomers.

Raffy Reviews - VxPxOxAxAxWxAxMxC: 'Austrian Dukes of Derangement' Feb. 17, 2020

Austrian Dukes of Derangement
by VxPxOxAxAxWxAxMxC

Background VxPxOxAxAxWxAxMxC or however you say their name, stand as a testament to the idea that, no matter how crazy you think heavy or brutal music can get, there is always someone or something out there willing to one up that idea and be even more insane.
