METHODS OF MAYHEM's 'A Public Disservice Announcement' Due In May

It wasn't logical but it made complete sense. Tommy Lee has rocked every continent multiple times, he's sold millions of records with MÖTLEY CRÜE and on his own; he's done everything a musician dreams of doing. Except this: he'd never made a record with the entire world. "This really was one of the...

Arcana Doctrina

Call it old-school, call it true, call it pure, call it whatever the fuck floats your boat, just don't call DIAMANTHIAN and expect anything but the same blood-soaked and brutal death metal that had us all hailing the unholy one over a decade ago. This British trio is among a younger sect of purists...

Alive

"In space no one can hear you unless you scream", reads the subtitle of MESHUGGAH's first official DVD, "space" being the operative word, as the Swedish enigmas are not of this earth. "Alive" is the sound of an alien invasion. Love 'em or hate 'em, MESHUGGAH was, is, and continues to be a unique ent...

Filipino Antichrist

Hands down the most primal fucking release I've encountered in ages, DEIPHAGO's "Filipino Antichrist" ignores silly shit like melody, production and structure and instead attempts to violently behead those brave enough to listen to its eleven bestial tracks. Aside from the sampled intro and outro tr...

Good goat almighty, the South Americans have struck again! This time it is an elite Chilean unit known as PERVERSOR that has left a path of death and destruction after an 18-minute carpet-bombing and napalm run, code-named "Demon Metal". Your mission?

Demented Perception

At 21 minutes, INVECTION's "Demented Perception" is just the right amount of old school thrash metal to not only keep one's attention for the entire duration, but it is also well suited to those that need a quick fix of no-frills head banging action that'll leave you just short of needing a neck bra...
