Snakes For the Divine
If HIGH ON FIRE released albums once a year, I bet there wouldn't be all this division and hand-wringing about whether each record lived up to the hype, or progressed enough from the last one, or was worthy to sniff the same air as frontman Matt Pike's previous combo, SLEEP (a great band, but — ...February 26, 2010

Ironbound
Over the span of 25 years, thrash metal's working class heroes, OVERKILL has yet to disappoint. With the exception of (in my opinion) "I Hear Black", these Jersey natives have done nothing but kick ass and bang heads for the last quarter of a century. You've really got to respect a band like OVERKIL...February 24, 2010

Collection of Souls
It's tempting to call MASTER the RAMONES of death metal, except that THE RAMONES actually sold some records. (Zing!) Anyway, love 'em or forget who they are, it's hard to deny the basic chugging purity of Paul Speckmann's three-decade crusade for the simplest, purest, most primeval form of death met...February 24, 2010

Three Steps Back
What the hell? Never expected to see these perennially-overlooked HYHC bruisers back at it, and I certainly would never have hoped for a comeback album this full of vitality, elbow-throwing vigor and upbeat, caffeinated old-school fire. "Three Steps Back" brings a welcome dose of that SICK OF IT ALL...February 24, 2010

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...February 23, 2010

World Without God
Another round of kudos to Relapse is in order for unearthing more classic late '80s/early '90s death metal, packaging it up nicely, and releasing it to a new generation of extremists. After last year's excellent NIRVANA 2002 package ("Recordings 89-91") comes a reissue of CONVULSE's 1992 release "Wo...February 23, 2010
