Heavily Ever After
With all the attention being paid (and rightfully so) to Indianapolis heavy purveyors THE GATES OF SLUMBER, hopefully a little limelight will splash over onto DEVIL TO PAY, their unsung neighbors. These guys have been dropping lead anchors of slow, soulful, melodic heavy rock for a good while now, e...February 25, 2010

Arcana Doctrina
Call it old-school, call it true, call it pure, call it whatever the fuck floats your boat, just don't call DIAMANTHIAN and expect anything but the same blood-soaked and brutal death metal that had us all hailing the unholy one over a decade ago. This British trio is among a younger sect of purists...February 25, 2010

Blood
SNAIL apparently took a 16-year break after their first album and EP, before resurfacing, adding a guitarist, and finally putting their own "Chinese Democracy" down on tape. Hey fellas, you're just in time for the death of the music industry. Pull up a chair! The stock in trade here is stoner rock,...February 24, 2010

Behold! The Monolith
In a day and age when even bands as abrasive and drug-imploded as ZOROASTER are inking relatively big record deals, it seems the time is right for West Coast golems BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH to shamble into view. Worshiping at the altar of the riff, possessed of an earth-rumbling tone, and crafting lengt...February 24, 2010

World Without God
Another round of kudos to Relapse is in order for unearthing more classic late '80s/early '90s death metal, packaging it up nicely, and releasing it to a new generation of extremists. After last year's excellent NIRVANA 2002 package ("Recordings 89-91") comes a reissue of CONVULSE's 1992 release "Wo...February 23, 2010

Tomb Coven
The thing about "Tomb Coven" from SKELETAL SPECTRE is that had it been released on one of the "bigger" or less cult/underground metal labels it would no doubt have been played up as one of the year's premiere doom/death metal releases, complete with associated propaganda about those "old-school" qua...February 23, 2010

Beyond the Cursed Tombs
"Death metal the ancient way" is the mantra; "the essence of 1991" the musical vision. The band to which such phrases refer is Dallas' DECREPITAPH and the album under review is "Beyond the Cursed Tombs", a worthy follow up to Razorback debut "Condemned Cathedral", itself an old school death metal re...February 23, 2010
