Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II
Farther down the rabbit hole goes NACHTMYSTIUM with the follow up to their envelope-pushing 2008 release "Assassins: Black Metal Pt. I". This second leg of Blake Judd's journey to discover uncharted musical territories is another wild and captivating ride. Where "Assassins" saw ample amounts of psyc...June 20, 2010

Avalanche Of Worms
As if DAATH guitarists Eyal Levi and Emil Werstler haven't made a reputation for themselves as one of metal's most formidable and impressive duos, they just had to go the extra mile and release an instrumental album that showcases an even more dazzling display of fretboard pyrotechnics than anything...June 20, 2010

Full Of Hell
One of the highlights from my trip to this year's SXSW (South By Southwest) festival was the Relapse Records showcase. Already exhausted from an afternoon full of music, beverage and the sweltering Texas heat, the mere thought of seeing KILL THE CLIENT, TOMBS and the almighty VOIVOD on one stage was...June 20, 2010

Garden of Worm
A lot of what makes doom resonate with fans are the feelings created through the monolithic riffs and atmospheric shivers created through melancholic and/or dread-inducing vocals and the lurking rhythms. In that sense, some bands nail it when it comes to the indefinable, you-know-it-when-you-feel-it...June 20, 2010

The Human Machine
Though not matching the same level of output and revered status, in more than a few ways MASTER could be considered the MOTÖRHEAD of death metal. The (now-)Czech Republic-based band led by sole original member, founder, and journeyman Paul Speckmann (vocals/bass) keeps cranking out often underapprec...June 20, 2010

Never Cross the Dead
The ever-prolific Lasse Pyykko (CLAWS, VACANT COFFIN, ACID WITCH) has brought back HOODED MENACE for a second round of deathly doom in the form of "Never Cross the Dead". The follow-up to "Fulfilling the Curse" (Razorback Records) offers more murky doom crawling and (occasionally) mid-tempo death ch...June 20, 2010

Die Among Heroes
Potential is a tricky thing to notice. Sometimes it just takes one really well-delivered chorus, or a particularly catchy guitar hook, on an otherwise by-the-numbers musical death march, to give you pause, make you re-evaluate the band and at least see their possible future greatness. For me, and fo...June 20, 2010

Out of Time
Forget about the retro trad-metal trend and forget about the kids wearing IRON MAIDEN "Killers" shirts they bought at Hot Topic because they think it's cool to appear old school, even though most couldn't tell a Steve Harris bass line from a Cronos clang to save their lives. Forget about the record...June 20, 2010

Mafia
You look at the cover art, check out the band name, read the album title, and get the peculiar feeling of something being a tad askew. But the seemingly strange contrast between the understood style of Italy's FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and the album cover and title logically connect after one reads the ly...June 20, 2010
