They Rise

Former MASSACRE and DEATH member Kam Lee hasn't let his time away from the limelight dampen his enthusiasm for all things gory, or rust his bloodsoaked vocal cords. He has, however, let some campy horror influences seep out since we saw him last — how else to explain the MISFITS chants and Saturday...

God Burns Like Flesh

One of the better power thrash bands you are likely to have never heard, thanks to no U.S. label and virtually zero U.S. distribution, Akron, Ohio's SHATTER MESSIAH have just released their sophomore effort, "God Burns Like Flesh", on Germany's Dockyard 1. The "selling point" for the band has been t...

Faith

Despite his success as a producer, it's hard not to feel kinda bad for Waldemar Sorychta. The German guitarist has spent years playing in bands like GRIP INC. and DESPAIR to little acclaim and less sales, while the bands he records (THE GATHERING, LACUNA COIL, TIAMAT, MOONSPELL, etc.) go on to world...

Ill Innocence

Never underestimate the power of primitivism. THE STOOGES had it, DARKTHRONE has it, SUNNO))) has it, HELLHAMMER had it…you know the list. In each of those examples though, there is far more at work than a stripped down sound and a primal essence; it is indeed a matter of finding the sweet spot or f...

The Alchemist

I find it ironic that for a band so glued to that warm/organic '70s sound that recalls British, blues-based acts as like early BLACK SABBATH and CREAM, as well as the almighty PENTRAGRAM, that WITCHCRAFT can sound so vibrant and relevant in 2007. In other words, this is not some retro-because-it's-h...
