Hosannas From the Basements of Hell
Pick a band, any band, and if they incorporate any sort of tribal drone, ethereal wall-of-noise roar, mystical third-eye ravings or percussive punk-driven art house nihilism in their music, you can likely thank KILLING JOKE for the influence. The launching pad for a hundred metal, punk and new wave...April 17, 2006

Revenge
Believe it or not, the rating above is a vast improvement for Danish third-stringers IRON FIRE. Their debut, "Thunderstorm" (released after the group won some Noise Records battle of the bands contest),was a laughably generic exercise in power metal with particularly anemic and reedy vocals from Ma...April 17, 2006

Death Pop Romance
Unabashedly candy-coated, well, death pop from Denmark. On their third album, and first for Lifeforce, RAUNCHY ironically slip a little closer in sound to some of their former NUCLEAR BLAST labelmates. They've got the slick production, the soaring clean vocals in the choruses, and the heavy double-k...April 10, 2006

The Ultimate Destroyer
You knew it would only get bloodier after Chicago's LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR (LOTM) hacked and stabbed with murderous metal rage and old school spirit on 2004's "Carnage". On "The Ultimate Destroyer", lyrical themes based on the savage end of Greek Mythology (with poetic license liberally taken) once ag...April 10, 2006

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...April 10, 2006

The Trident
Relapse has a nose for sniffing out those special kinds of acts that usually bridge gaps, push boundaries, or possess that something extra to help set them apart from the rest of the herd. NYC's UNEARTHLY TRANCE is not quite as "out there" as vocalist/guitarist/noise-maker Ryan Lipynksy's black meta...April 3, 2006
