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...

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...

Hellectric

Dark yet catchy gothic metal is not what I would have expected from a band consisting of SAVATAGE/SEVEN WITCHES guitarist Jack Frost, OVERKILL's DD Verni and Tim Mallare, and the MISFITS' Myke Hideous. The band's third album, and first for Regain and Candlelight, suffers from a few pockmarks in the...

Ya keep waiting for KHOLD to get old, and for their less-is-more approach to finally reach its logical conclusion and disappear into a cloud of sardonic nothingness (very kvlt nothingness, naturally). But we're on album number four, they're still slowing down, they seem to give even less of a shit a...
