Through Storms Ahead

Well, this is awkward. It was only a few weeks ago that AS I LAY DYING launched the promotional campaign for their eighth album. Obviously, anything that the Californians do at this point in time will arrive with a certain amount of problematic baggage, but after the relatively successful birth of "...

The Coral Tombs

After creating extraordinary funeral doom concept albums based on sea-based writings by Herman Melville (debut "The Call of the Wretched Sea" and its follow-up "The Divinity of Oceans),  Edgar Allen Poe ("The Giant") and William Hope Hodgson (2015's "The Boats of 'Glen Carrig'"),  it was p...

The Brooklyn-based act returns with...

As a result, "Portal To...

Too Mean To Die

At the risk of enraging a handful of purists, the original ACCEPT era definitely didn't produce a run of albums as strong and as consistent as the one the Germans have been on over the last decade. Okay, so virtually no one is capable of topping "Restless and Wild", but since the release of 2010's "...

Pyramids Of Damnation

Another strong reason to conclude that Russian death metal is absolutely where it's at right now is "Pyramids of Damnation" , which reinvents ABORTED FETUS as one of the modern era's truly epic extreme metal bands.

Monarchy Of Shadows

TOMBS is a unique musical beast that forges black metal, sludge and post metal. The New Yorkers, led by ringleader Mike Hill, are a force to be reckoned with due to their songs' melodious and atmospheric passages, memorably delivered with sheer, brute force. A lot has changed within TOMBS' ranks sin...
