Dying Of Everything
With their 40th anniversary barely a year away, OBITUARY ought to take great pride in the fact that they are still one of the heaviest bands on the planet. Rarely mimicked with any degree of accuracy, and still wholly original in the grand death metal scheme of things, the Floridians have built a le...January 9, 2023

Dark Side Of The Sacred Star
In the realms of underground metal, few labels have ever maintained both reputation and rigor with the same consistency as PEACEVILLE RECORDS. This compilation celebrates the UK imprint's 35th anniversary with a dazzling array of unreleased cuts and new material from both the well-recognized and the...December 8, 2022

Suffer In Hell
Not every great band is destined for greatness. In fact, metal's strength-in-depth relies entirely upon the thousands of bands that stand absolutely no chance of rising to the top of the pile. In the grand deathcore scheme of things, CHELSEA GRIN have always been a prominent name. The Salt Lake City...November 10, 2022

The Burden Of Existence
After a decade of grinding against the grain, IMPLORE are well established as one of most furious and distinctive bands around. The Germans' first three albums provide a perfect evolutionary curve. From the all-out deathgrind warfare of 2015's "Depopulation" debut, via the more holistic extremity of...October 26, 2022

The Nine Choirs
This ongoing wave of new and seriously fucking great death metal bands is showing no signs of slowing. In particular, it seems increasingly probable that someone in Texas has a secret factory where bands as self-evidently monstrous as TRIBAL GAZE are being churned out by the score. Already the proud...September 15, 2022

Shiki
A confounding, psychedelic one-off in a world that often seems full of dreary, grey sheep, SIGH are one of those bands that can always be relied upon to release music that sounds absolutely nothing like anything else you might have heard lately. It was always the way, at least since the Japanese ban...August 23, 2022

Deceivers
ARCH ENEMY have become such an unassailable part of the heavy metal furniture that it would be easy to forget how utterly against-the-grain they seemed at the start. Eschewing the prevailing black metal winds of the day, and only paying slender regard to his past achievements in CARCASS and CARNAGE,...August 9, 2022

Totem
MAX CAVALERA wasn't joking when he gave his post-SEPULTURA band such a wide-eyed and hopeful name. SOULFLY have now been around for a quarter of a century, and if the band can be defined by anything, it is that they have been in a constant state of delighted evolution. From those early days when eve...August 2, 2022
