Esoteric
In the "it's a small world" department, Sweden's SKYFIRE take a good portion of the European metal scene, stuff it into a blender, and serve the results up extra smooth on the aptly-named "Esoteric".

All Shall Fall
"Highly anticipated" does not do justice to the eagerness with which fans have waited for IMMORTAL's first album since 2002's "Sons of Northern Darkness". Much like EMPEROR, we are talking about band that inspires rabid devotion from both fans and critics because of a one-of-a-kind status in black m...November 3, 2009

The Chair in the Doorway
Please do not be one of those people that immediately shout "Cult of Personality!" when the subject of LIVING COLOUR is broached. Yes, it's a great song, a classic even, but just like MOTÖRHEAD has done far more in its career than "Ace of Spades", so has LIVING COLOUR crafted more than just the afor...November 3, 2009

Rites of the Pentagram
As uttered at the end of "Decibel Ritual" by Mike Abominator (he of the Armageddon Vomits and Misanthropic Diatribes) "We are GRAVEHILL, we are death fucking metal!" By golly, they sure as heck are, albeit the thrashy old school variety, taking cues from a variety of sources, whether it is MASTER, D...November 3, 2009

The Divinity of Oceans
I'm pretty selective about funeral doom; some of it rings my bell and some of it doesn't, and I certainly need to be in the mood for it. But AHAB is the one band that has kicked my ass for two albums in a row now; "The Call of The Wretched Sea" and new disc ...October 11, 2009
