From Ashes
I had a feeling that ABYSMAL DAWN's 2004, three-song demo would be a harbinger of greater things to come. The Los Angeles band's debut full-length for Crash Music, "From Ashes", is ascending quickly into a select group of death metal releases that will receive consideration for a spot on the year-en...April 3, 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

We Hate You and Hope You Die
With members of FISTULA, RUE, RUNE, and MADMAN MUNT, it is not much of a shock that on "We Hate You and Hope You Die" Ohio's ULTRALORD play uncompromising, sludge-drenched, anti-social grime metal. I wouldn't exactly call it a trailblazing or original release, but goddamn, it hits with all the subtl...March 27, 2006

The Black Is Never Far
The idea of metal having soul, as most people think of the term, would strike a lot of people as ludicrous. Those people haven't heard PLACE OF SKULLS, though. Formed by ex-DEATH ROW, CATHEDRAL and PENTAGRAM guitar slinger Victor Griffin, the band is on their third full-length album of doom rock lac...March 20, 2006

First Daze Here Too – The Vintage Collection
So you're telling me that we're supposed to shell out money for another odds-and-sods collection of demos from this seminal doom rock band? That disc one, the only seven decently recorded tracks here, contains two covers and a well-loved but already-released gem? And that in the liner notes, drummer...March 20, 2006

A Shaman Steering the Vessel of Vastness
Mentally picture those old, grainy, black and white horror films, even as far back as "Nosferatu". The motion is jerky, the actors move with dramatic flair, wild-eyed expressions of madness etched across faces, lightning flashing across the sky and a rainstorm pummeling an old house is seen, as dark...March 20, 2006
