Aside from one brief reunion in 2005, little has been heard from them since, but th...

Black Medium Current

Even today, after 24 years of remorseless, avant-garde experimentation in the black metal underground, DØDHEIMSGARD's 1999 masterpiece "666 International" still sounds righteously batshit and light years ahead of its time. Ultimately, you've either got it or you haven't. The Norwegian mavericks have...

Scorched

They were there at the very beginning and, judging by the sheer venomous brutality of their 20th studio album, they will be there at the end. OVERKILL are not a band that have ever seriously contemplated retirement, possibly because somebody has to be there to show everyone else how this face-rippin...
