An Insatiable Violence

Few sensible people would dispute that CRYPTOPSY are one of the most revered, respected and influential bands in the world of death metal. The perennial problem has been that until fairly recently, it was never entirely clear which version of the band would appear at any given moment. It was fairly...

Rivers Of Nihil

Extraction

Even at its transformative best, deathcore can seem like a competitive sport. Every band wants to be the heaviest, the fastest, the most brutal, or the most willfully fucked-up. And every deathcore vocalist wants to push their chosen discipline even further into the realms of insanity. On his band's...
