Godslaughter

Life has been pretty eventful in Minneapolis over the last few months. The third album from NOTHINGNESS is almost certainly not a direct response to anything happening on the streets, but it still sounds like a sizeable act of rebellion, if only within the thriving US death metal scene. Building upo...

PEARL JAM's JEFF AMENT Announces 'Since Forever' Photo Book

For decades, PEARL JAM founding member and bassist Jeff Ament has photographed the people, places, and moments that inspire him. A few years ago, he began working through his archive of decomposing negatives with his brother, acclaimed designer Barry Ament. Their efforts led to "Since Forever", a de...

The Darkness. The Dread. The Suffering

It is easy to become desensitized to so-called extreme music. Bands of various descriptions have pushed the boundaries of what is vaguely acceptable to human ears, and as time passes, the notion that a scream, a blastbeat or a barrage of ugly noise is liable to upset anyone becomes nonsensical. The...

Atavistic Unraveling

Death metal has infected the entire world over the last forty years. Forged in flames emanating from an adolescent Jeff Becerra's brain back in the early '80s, the genre has become a touchstone for unholy underground rebellion in all corners of the globe. A familiar but largely unsung epicenter of s...

Too Fast To Die

ARCHSPIRE are fucking ridiculous. Death metal heavyweights with an insatiable need for speed, the Vancouver vandals have been setting new standards for brutality and technicality since 2009, and their fearsome reputation precedes them like an out-of-control freight train ploughing through a supermar...

In an interview with Super Cool Radio, SOIL bassist Tim King spoke about the status of the recording sessions for the band's first new original material since 2013's "Whole" album.

The Great Satan

When faced with the prospect of a new ROB ZOMBIE album, I am always reminded of what the man himself said to me during an interview some years ago. While bemoaning the fact that the internet had successfully destroyed any notion of mystique or otherworldly allure from the world of rock'n'roll, Rob s...

Krushers Of The World

Sustaining a career in the cutthroat world of heavy metal for more than 40 years is a rare and noble achievement. The fact that KREATOR have managed it without ever disgracing themselves, musically or otherwise, is even more impressive. Currently a bigger deal than they ever were in their supposed h...

Kickstarter

The world of heavy music has become so diverse over the last few decades that it has become increasingly hard to argue that its ancient traditions should always be faithfully upheld. That's progress and you're welcome to it. Meanwhile, BULLET continue to fly the flag for hard rock and heavy metal in...

The Wilted

After several years of persistence, in 2025 PALEFACE SWISS finally got their just rewards. The band's third album "Cursed" was widely praised for its originality, intensity and laudable disregard for genre boundaries, as raging, riff-heavy songs like "Hatred" and "Don't You Ever Stop" smashed their...

Shadow Work

There are certain, unavoidable consequences to being a humble, unpretentious band. DESPISED ICON could, if their Canadian identities would allow it, be extremely arrogant about their position in deathcore's unwritten hierarchy. Whether or not they were the first to fully express the genre is a moot...

Chama

Everybody loves Max Cavalera. For those who didn't get the memo, the Brazilian's contribution to the metal world over the last 40 years has been vast and far-reaching. From his days in SEPULTURA to his relentless metal mission with SOULFLY and an assortment of other noisy bastards, he has consistent...

New Gods, New Masters

Nearly 20 years have passed since David Davidson adopted a new name for his burgeoning metal band, swapping CRYPTIC WARNING for the more succinct and strident REVOCATION. Since then, the guitarist's vision has been laid out for all to see: merciless, thrash-powered death metal with a strong technica...
