Tunnel of No Light
In-and-out dirge masters OCTOBER TIDE are back despite the loss of Tobias Netzell and Pierre Stam, who departed to release IN MOURNING's "The Weight of Oceans" last year.

False Prism
As evidenced by their otherworldly moniker, SADGIQACEA hail from the war-loving planet of Philadelphia, but you won't find band members, Evan Schaefer (vocals/guitar) and Fred Grabosky (vocals/drums) attending local sporting events to hurl snowballs at Santa Claus, but rather monolithic slabs of ter...July 13, 2013

OVERDRIVE, unabashed lovers of PANTERA, DOWN, Nineties-era METALLICA and a certain American whiskey featured on Michael Anthony's favorite bass. There's no real crime in what...July 13, 2013

Born Under the Capricorn
The members of BLACK CAPRICORN hail from the Italian island of Sardinia, but the inspiration for their sophomore release, 2013's "Born Under the Capricorn", emanates from the zodiac constellation that inspired their name, plus, in their own words, "the beast with horns." Nice! Even better, though th...July 13, 2013
