Bloodbath Over Bloodstock
If you were limited to saying two things about Sweden's BLOODBATH, it would have to be (1) damn, these guys are some serious players; and (2) they sure do write some memorable, old school based death metal. Both qualities are apparent on "Bloodbath Over Bloodstock", a DVD filmed at the band's first...June 27, 2011

Sounds Of A Playground Fading
It's nearly impossible to discuss IN FLAMES without inciting nearly riotous emotions from the legions of fans who adamantly (and sometimes vehemently) aver that the band lost all worth after "Clayman". I suppose that argument is valid to an extent, as many fans undoubtedly felt abandoned by the styl...June 22, 2011

Khaos Legions
Considering it's been four years since we've been bludgeoned with new material from the four Swedish metal veterans and their spunky German growler known as ARCH ENEMY, it goes without saying that fans have been chomping at the proverbial bit for the arrival of "Khaos Legions". While those four year...June 21, 2011

Macabre Eternal
I must admit that it is nice to hear an AUTOPSY album with a good production, especially since the sound clarity accentuates the amazing and underrated compositional skill of these reunited death metal godfathers. Though originality is no longer the focal point, "Macabre Eternal" is a phenomenal alb...June 21, 2011

March of the Norse
Have you always wondered what an IMMORTAL album might sound like if the jagged edges were smoothed out, one tempo was ridden for the duration, and arrangement variation was strictly limited? Then DEMONAZ's "March of the Norse" is the album with the answer to your burning question. That's an exaggera...June 20, 2011

Human Remains
I damn near missed this one, and what an unforgivable crime that would have been. U.K. occult metal act and obscure NWOBHM fringe sitters HELL released multiple demos during 1982-1986, but never got over the hump. Many years later SABBAT vet, acclaimed producer, and dedicated HELL fan Andy Sneap got...June 20, 2011

Kvelertak
Originally released in June 2010 through Indie Recordings, The End Records chose wisely in giving North American release to this self-titled album from Norwegian Black 'N Roll 'N Everything Else superstars KVELERTAK. The six bonus tracks (live recordings, BBC sessions, and demos) are great additions...June 20, 2011

Burn Again
Chicago's SUPERCHRIST is one those great America bands about which some of you may not be aware, but damn well should. Every album in the catalogue is first rate, frill-free heavy metal rock 'n roll that takes the best of Bronze-era MOTÖRHEAD, a little punk rock in the directness, and then fuels the...June 20, 2011

MACHINE HEAD To Release 'Locust' Single
Normally, one would be wise to avoid a plague of locusts. Prophets even warn about locusts in The Bible. However, in the summer of 2011, metal fans and headbangers are going to happily succumb to a "Locust" in the form of a brand new track from Bay Area metal icons MACHINE HEAD. The band, which ...June 8, 2011
