The Powerless Rise

Before the word metalcore became a verbal stigmata that critics and bloggers used to pigeonhole any and every band that dared to straddle the proverbial fence and before the scene itself became an oversaturated mockery of itself, the initial marriage of melodic death and hardcore spawned some pretty...

Bears, Mayors, Scraps and Bones

A lot may have gone into the sonic stew that is Canada's CANCER BATS — everything from horror punk to sci-fi thrash to PANTERA groove metal to basement-show hardcore — but it's all boiled down here to its most rudimentary elements, reduced to its primal basics. CANCER BATS are all about simple forwa...

Heirs to Thievery

This is exactly the kind of album that MISERY INDEX has been moving toward making over the last several years. A comparatively more varied affair called "Traitors" served as the bridge between the ferocious "Discordia" and the equally ferocious (ah hell, they're all ferocious) "Heirs to Thievery", t...

The Underworld Regime

The lengthy and complicated GORGOROTH legal battle was the messiest of messes that left one wondering what good would ever come out of it. One album that emerged from the smoke and ashes of the dispute was originally intended, in one form or another, to be a GORGOROTH and then a GOD SEED album that...

Edge Of Spirit

It seems that veteran hardcore act EDGE OF SPIRIT is a pretty big deal in its native Japan, as well as having made a sizeable splash in areas outside of it. They've certainly earned the recognition after working hard at it for 13 years; selling 16,500 copies of debut album "Screaming for the Truth"...

Dark Ages

The Great White North's BISON B.C. had some big shoes to fill following up the beastly juggernaut that is "Quiet Earth", one that afforded them the right to claim status as Canada's answer to – depending on who you ask — MASTODON or HIGH ON FIRE. The good news is that "Dark Ages" slips comfortably ....

Disgust at the Status Quo

I hadn't heard much from the U.K. fuzz bastards in quite some time; if memory serves, the last release that scraped the ole eardrums was the Billy Anderson-produced "Confessions of a Man, Mad Enough to Live Amongst Beasts". Never getting the recognition due the band outside of Europe, "Disgust at th...

Say Uncle

Having missed this completely when it came out, my only exposure to UNCLE SLAM being tepid final album "When God Dies", I owe Matt at Tribunal a big debt for resurrecting this moldy oldie. On the face of it, you could say that this west coast crossover thrash fell through the cracks back in the ...

The Profit Feeds

Southern Lord isn't screwing around with this recent batch of roster additions highlighting what they've dubbed "the future of hardcore." THE SECRET and the lordly BLACK BREATH alone drive the point home. "The Profit Feeds" from Midwesterners MASAKARI is the here and now of the rabble and offers fan...
