Icon Of The Hopeless

Self-proclaimed purveyors of "industrial metalcore", THE INTERBEING have been cantering down a path of their own making for the last decade. That description is fairly accurate, all things considered, and yet "Icon of the Hopeless" is a lot more interesting and engaging than such reductive categoriz...

Ashes Lie Still

Firmly at the forefront of UK death metal since 2009's "Surpassing the Boundaries of Human Suffering" debut, INGESTED have still endured a long, hard slog to get the attention they deserve. In recent times, the band's sheer superiority over the competition has been impossible to miss. "The Level Abo...

Lightwork

The last few years have found Devin Townsend in a somewhat fractious mood. 2019's "Empath" was one of his most extravagant and unhinged releases to date: an epic prog metal monolith that threw an extraordinary number of disparate ideas together, with sublime but startling results. Last year's "The P...

FRANK BELLO Rings In Over 40 Years Of ANTHRAX And Looks Ahead: 'The Band Is Very Hungry'

By David E. Gehlke The cancelation of ANTHRAX's fall continental European tour dates wasn't enough to sour bassist Frank Bello's mood on a late September afternoon Zoom call.

As frontwoman with DELAIN she presided over some of the classiest tunes to emerge from the symphonic metal scene over the last decade, but as she demonstrated with startling panache on 2020's "Tale...

Viscera

Morbidity will not be stopped. Despite digging deep into death metal's well of odium with VALLENFYRE for three widely acclaimed albums, PARADISE LOST guitarist Greg Mackintosh still wanted to go deeper and darker. As showcased on 2019 debut "Abandon All Faith", STRIGOI take that crestfallen, crusty...

Survive

Seven years might seem like a long time between albums, even for a veteran band like STRATOVARIUS, but the poor Finns had been bashing out albums at an impressive rate and touring relentlessly for 30 years when the sturdy but unremarkable "Eternal" came out in 2015. Second only to HELLOWEEN when it...
