Scorched

They were there at the very beginning and, judging by the sheer venomous brutality of their 20th studio album, they will be there at the end. OVERKILL are not a band that have ever seriously contemplated retirement, possibly because somebody has to be there to show everyone else how this face-rippin...

Grom

The full-froth, venomous-to-the-extreme BEHEMOTH was still a few years away come 1996's "Grom". It's apparent mainman Nergal (real name: Adam Darski) was still in the clutches of the Scandinavian black metal movement, with decided nods toward early IMMORTAL, MAYHEM and SATRYICON. BEHEMOTH combined t...

The Good Ship Lollipop

VENOMOUS CONCEPT were always a band designed to start riots, or a fistfight at the very least. The fiendish brainchild of multi-project polymath bassist Shane Embury (NAPALM DEATH) and former BRUTAL TRUTH frontman Kevin Sharp, it began as a chaotic and deranged to balls-out hardcore punk band and co...

KEVIN SHARP On VENOMOUS CONCEPT's New Punk-Oriented Sound: 'It's Grindcore's Hungover Uncle'

By David E. Gehlke The friendly cackle on the other end of the line is none other than former BRUTAL TRUTH throat, Kevin Sharp. The vocalist has stayed active since BRUTAL TRUTH's 2014 disbandment, currently volleying between the extremity of LOCK UP and now the anthem-laden punk sounds of VENOMOUS...

Revelations of the Sacred Skull

Bands playing hopscotch across genres has been the norm for years. But intuitively enough, musical amalgams that have an impact are the ones that are built by musicians who have genuine passion for the disparate sounds and styles in question. For Montreal's LUGER, various ingredients including doom,...

Mater Larvarum

Born as a DEATH SS tribute act, but now several albums along a glittering but shadow-shrouded path of their own, DEATHLESS LEGACY should really be much better known. Their sound is rooted in heavy metal horror, of course, but also in the razor-sharp power metal anthemry of bands like POWERWOLF, the...

There's Only Black

With the wild chemistry that once informed the original VENOM line-up long since throttled by time, fans of the black metal pioneers have had to come to terms with two bands for the price of one. VENOM INC. began as a spontaneous reunion of the line-up that made 1989's "Prime Evil",  but has si...

Survival Of The Sickest

These are a fresh set of halcyon days for death metal, with countless great new bands emerging from the international sewer network, and many of them palpably informed by the spirit of the old school. In a sense, BLOODBATH are the band that laid down the most effective template for the genre's renai...

Animalistic

Looking back, it's remarkable how many classic hard rock artists' legendary albums were released in rapid succession. The first six KISS studio records were issued over a span of just 40 months; "Paranoid" came out only seven months after BLACK SABBATH's debut, with "Master of Reality" following a s...
