Thorngoth – Leere

Germany’s black metal bastards Thorngoth have returned to offer their third full length album, ‘Leere’, to all dark and lost spirits of the world.  Deutsch for ‘empty’, ‘Leere’ is anything but, summoning thick black layers of despair and hatred in a clean production that slices to the bone.  Released on Folter Records, these 9 rituals all [...]

Iron Maiden – The Final Frontier

IRON MAIDEN – THE FINAL FRONTIER
They have no equal.
Perhaps I have not made myself abundantly clear? Then let me try that one again; THEY HAVE NO EQUAL! Nope, none. Not some British band whose lead singer’s solo career is mediocre at best and who had to whore his own ass to MTV to be in [...]

Lividity – To Desecrate and Defile

There is no denying how heavy, violent or fucking sick Lividity really is. With their 5th full length offering, ‘To Desecrate and Defile’, on Epitome Producions, Illinois porn-grind masters Lividity punish and pulverize pussies, twats and cunts with razor sharp precision, ever pushing the knife deeper into that wound.
Having formed as a one man project [...]

Netherbird – Monument Black Colossal

Straight out of Stockholm, Sweden, the death-injected melodic black metal outfit known as Netherbird took root in November of 2004 and have since continued a formulaic tradition of creating boundary-exceeding music that, while bearing noticeable origins and influences, digs a new kind of flesh-ripping claws into the listener. With hints of thunderous doom and traditional [...]

Immolith

Upon releasing their debut EP, ‘Hymns to the Countess’, USBM cult Immolith earned a deserved reputation for summoning the ancient spirit of Black Metal and made their mark upon the unsuspecting world.  Having joined forces with the likes of Forces of Satan Records, the Riddick brothers as well as countless numbers of fans, bands and [...]

Disgod – Sanguine Scales

Like a blood and brains-encrusted sledgehammer to the face of the mainstream and so-called “metal” posers everywhere, eastern European (Minsk, Belarus to be exact) death-mongers Disgod formed in 2003, having ties to fellow Belarusian acts like Medieval, Warkraft and Psychopathic Noise. They have been meticulously constructing an ever-growing abomination of late-80’s/early-90’s death metal stature ever [...]

Christian Mistress – Agony & Opium

Hailing from Olympia, Washington, and rumored to be the only heavy metal band from that Pacific Northwest town, Christian Mistress deliver their metal goods in a way that conjures flashbacks of the late 80’s, simultaneously bringing to mind the furious thunder of Judas Priest, Diamond Head and some ‘Kill ‘Em All’-era Metallica. Gaining praise from [...]

The Abominable Iron Sloth – The Id Will Overcome

Formed in 2004 on the U.S. west coast (a union of California and Washington, to be exact) and unleashing a doom-tinged torrent of gritty, sludge upon the world population ever since, The Abominable Iron Sloth have carved their jagged mark on the face of extreme music with pummeling style and evolution. With their self-titled debut, [...]

Nocturnal Blood – Devastated Graves – The Morbid Celebration

Blasting open slabs of dusted stone and calling the ancient dead to rise are California’s Nocturnal Blood.  Delivering an endless procession of souls unto the darkness of the Devil, Nocturnal Blood’s anticipated full length album, ‘Devasted Graves – The Morbid Celebration’ is an uncontrollable and impulsive attack of Black Death in the name of all [...]
