Immortalis

OVERKILL have been around for over 20 years and 14 studio albums, and they're sounding pretty damn good on their latest opus, "Immortalis". One of the leading lights of the New York/New Jersey thrash scene of the Eighties (which included ANTHRAX, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, WHIPLASH, CARNIVORE, BLOOD FEAST and...

Beyond the Permafrost

It would be one thing if only the band's logo and artwork on its new album reeked of vintage heavy metal and ripping thrash, but considering that the music on "Beyond the Permafrost" actually comes with a metal-as-hell attack makes it required listening for the true ‘heads. Beyond the fact that Athe...

Rise To Ruin

Holland's death metal leaders GOREFEST returned to form with 2005's excellent "La Muerte", a disc that didn't get nearly enough attention on this side of the Atlantic (as has been the case with their entire career, really). The inimitable bellow of Jan-Chris De Koeyer, the leaden heaviness of the gu...

In These Veins

If the new ENTOMBED left you flat, and you're looking for "death and roll" (really, is there a dumber name for a subgenre?) with plenty of speedy punk beats, out-of-left-field melodies, and seemingly boundless energy, then your new favorite band has just delivered your album of the year. HEARSE has...

Alienigma

AGENT STEEL formed in 1984 and is one of those quality heavy metal acts that always seemed to get lost in the shuffle. After a dozen year absence, the band returned with a vengeance in 1999, releasing the excellent "The Omega Conspiracy" and following it up in 2003 with the equally powerful "Order o...

Road of Bones

A confession: even if I wanted to, I don't think it'd be physically possible for me to give a bad rating to a band featuring an ex-member of AGONY COLUMN. Stuart "Bat Lord" Laurence was part of that criminally underrated Texas band of the late 1980s, whose freaked-out peckerwood dirt holler goth/thr...
