Noise Chaos War

There are few metal journeyman that continue to work so hard for so little year and year and still manage to wake up every morning with the sole intent of devoting 100 percent effort into writing, recording, and/or performing the best thrash metal possible. That is Katon W. DePena to a "T". The road...

Review

Mounds of Ash

This album makes me tense, anxious, and kind of angry. It is not an uncommon feeling with this type of noisy-USBM-meets-abrasive-hardcore sprinkled with atmospherics to make certain that you also become paranoid over some undefined feeling of impending doom. Yep, it is one of those Profound Lore rel...

Inner Receivings

I've leveled my fair share of criticism at what has been an avalanche of shoe-gazing in the black metal community; some of it justified, some of it based on inundation, and some, perhaps unfairly, based on the fact that too much of it bores the ever living shit out of me.

I was actually surprised to see that "Slaughtered" is the third album from the unit that I've reviewe...

Sixty-three minutes of generally slow — though not funereally plodding — doom majesty is what NOX AURE...

Review

For Aeons Past

You know that voice; you damn well better if you've spent any amount of time at all in Swedish melodic death metal neighborhoods. And I'm talking about the kind of melo-death that is both modern and polished to stratospheric levels of gloss. You realize I'm referring to any project in which vocalist...

Heros Assassin

Maybe it is true that new school hardcore and/or metalcore — as opposed to a select group of long-time quality carriers and true hardcore warriors — have just plain run out of gas after crossing bloodlines and breeding like bunnies for much of this decade. Or maybe it's the fact that it is more the...

Review

Apocalypse Sun

There is something special about this Colorado black metal outfit. You can hear it from the opening notes of "I am I" to the fading ring of "Fount of Nighted God-head" from NIGHTBRINGER's "Apocalypse Sun". It is over an hour's worth of USBM and Scandinavian black metal blending that is conventional...
