A Line of Deathless Kings

One look at the song titles above will let you know that it's business as usual in the MY DYING BRIDE camp. Dark wine flows, pale and raven-tressed sylphs expire dramatically on beds of flower-strewn stone inside mist-choked castles, quasi-vampiric men with bad facial hair wear cloaks and sip absint...

Lupara

I remember being unimpressed with LUPARA's performance at Minneapolis Mayhem II, which makes my generally favorable impression of the band's debut album even more surprising. Featuring guitarist Jeremy Wagner, formerly of BROKEN HOPE, LUPARA's debut album is a hate-filled, slab of solid American ext...

Many would agree that bands like OPETH, TOOL, and MASTODON fall into the latter category. Unless you've missed out on the raw emotion, beautiful heaviness, doom-laden atm...

The Burning Halo

Finding ponderous, majestic gothic metal with female vocals on Napalm Records is about as shocking as finding an egg coming out the ass of a chicken. The label has definitely cornered the market of late on romantic, dramatic Eurometal with various permutations of goth, doom and death mixed in. Swede...

Triumph or Agony

If you were among those disappointed by BLIND GUARDIAN's streamlining of their sound this year, your luxury liner has come in. RHAPSODY OF FIRE have, if anything, gone even further off the deep end into operatic, cinematic, utterly bombastic and gaudy symphonic metal. Choirs swell, drums thunder, st...
