The Isolationist

Dawn barely lights the way as the grizzled sociopath stares with dead eyes through a filthy window at the harsh winter day, all the while a steel box with wheels moves the flesh of lifeless humanity down the street of a decaying city. That is the image created when KRIEG's "The Isolationist" blares...

A diamond in the rough, a previously undiscovered gem… Pick a cliché, what matters in the end is that OBSCURE INFINITY's "Dawn of Winter" is one of the best death metal releases of 2010, old school or otherwise.

No God No Satan

Here I go again talking up those French black metal savages. There is just something about the way that so many of the country's BM acts take the early Norwegian blueprint and gouge the hell out of it, then bend it into submission. It usually involves scathing chords, piercing tones, and the liberal...

It's at once highbrow and lo-fi, art and brutality, and it places Tom Gabriel Fischer's "new" band immediately in the vangua...

Today the term would be "d...
