Travesty of Heavenly Essence

After a sidestep into industrialized post-black-metal a couple years ago, Finnish rippers THYRANE return to what they do best on "Travesty of Heavenly Essence" — intense, riff-hungry black metal with plenty of dynamic changes, just the right amount of keyboards, and enough thrashed-out fury to make...

Sterling Black Icon

I recall applauding Germany's FRAGMENTS OF UNBECOMING in a review of the band's Metal Blade debut (and sophomore release) "Skywards/Chapter II: A Sylphe's Ascension". In said review I acknowledged the band's unabashed love of the Swedish melodic death metal style, but still found the album to be fin...

Kill

Expectations are high for CANNIBAL CORPSE's 10th full-length studio release to be as heavy and twisted as anything the seminal death metal band has ever done. "Kill" easily met my expectations and should meet yours as well. Then again, the band does not make bad albums. Simply put, "Kill" is an exce...

AssassiNation

First of all, if you haven't liked KRISIUN's virtuoso hyperspeed attack before, nothing on "AssassiNation" is going to change your mind. And if you do like them, don't be an idiot and worry when you hear about progression, or the occasional slow moment on this album. "Slow" is a relative term, folks...

We Hate You and Hope You Die

With members of FISTULA, RUE, RUNE, and MADMAN MUNT, it is not much of a shock that on "We Hate You and Hope You Die" Ohio's ULTRALORD play uncompromising, sludge-drenched, anti-social grime metal. I wouldn't exactly call it a trailblazing or original release, but goddamn, it hits with all the subtl...
