VOIVOD's MICHEL 'AWAY' LANGEVIN Says 'Synchro Anarchy' Is A 'Pretty Dark Album'

By David E. Gehlke It would have been understandable for VOIVOD to permanently call it a day in 2009 after the release of "Infini" — the last studio album to feature guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, who passed away from colon cancer in 2005. The guitarist gave his bandmates access to a laptop with p...

Psychic Jailbreak

The loss of a founding member is always going to sting. In terms of cataclysmic breakups, the departure of co-founding guitarist Scott Middleton from the CANCER BATS ranks last year was a big one.

That's good news, of course, but the future would look even brighter if a fraction of those bands h...

Call Down The Sun

Barely two years ago, KONVENT released their debut album, "Puritan Masochism", and swiftly established themselves as a band with phenomenal potential. Rooted in death / doom but audibly unconstrained by expectation or formula, the Danes' sound just felt slower and heavier and darker than it had any...

All That Was Promised

Although located squarely (and proudly) at the dark and progressive end of the death metal world, HATH have clearly been in a state of evolution since releasing their 2019 debut, "Of Rot and Ruin".
