City of Steel
Man oh man, is it ever tough to distinguish one's retro thrash metal band from the army of retro thrash metal bands currently waging guerilla warfare in various continental hot spots. Outside of forays into the progressive reaches of the genre there just aren't many places to go that haven't already...October 17, 2011

Bilateral
They've been called progressive and avant-garde, which can be loosely translated as "out there." On "Bilateral" Norwegian boundary pushers LEPROUS pull out all the stops, then drive the vehicle past all of them, somehow in several different directions at once. Though listener satisfaction may not al...September 6, 2011

A Godlike Inferno
Let's get this straight. Austin's ANCIENT VVISDOM contributed one half of a split with CHARLES MANSON, includes alumni of hardcore head splitters INTEGRITY and IRON AGE, and their style of acoustic-driven music has been called death rock through which Lucifer's praises are sung. That's an interestin...July 27, 2011

Apocalyptic
Here is one of those random selections from the promo stacks of little known record labels and independent bands. As it turns out, the selection was a good one. Reading "thrashcore" in the press release is misleading, as much of what is heard on RISING DARK's "Apocalyptic" is about as thrashcore as...July 27, 2011

Rev-Raptor
Sometimes you just need a straight forward heavy metal album that mines familiar territory with denim 'n' leather passion. That's what you get with a U.D.O. album and "Rev-Raptor" does nothing to steer the band away from that well-worn path. Most fans would agree that such a characteristic is a good...June 21, 2011

Cursed
If you've survived the riff swarm, the d-beat attacks, and blast assaults and still pleaded for another round of battery, then at one point or another along the extreme music way you've acquired a taste for the finer things in grindcore. It might have been PHOBIA, it could have been INFANTICIDE or M...May 9, 2011

Antinomian
Fortunately for you, I'm only writing MHORGL instead of trying to pronounce it. Then again, it's Australian extreme (in this case black) metal and the down-under tradition in that regard has rarely involved strict adherence to conventional form or function. Such is the case from a musical point of v...March 27, 2011

Evoken / Beneath
Light those candles and get high…on, uh, life of course. Or in this case funeral doom. Making it through the dense layers of ice, snow, and morbidity on this split between New Jersey's EVOKEN and Sweden's BENEATH THE FROZEN SOIL with a heartbeat will be your greatest challenge. But if you're a fan o...March 27, 2011

Beast
They couldn't have picked a better name. DEVILDRIVER's fifth full-length, "Beast", is arguably their most intense and spite-fueled effort to date. Where "Pray For Villains" saw the band place more focus on writing songs than crushing skulls, "Beast" is the byproduct of those two worlds violently col...February 22, 2011
