Demonoir
To my ears the first three 1349 albums are among the best black metal triple-shots ever released, each one feral and uncompromising, yet with each subsequent album the band was developing both its identity and songwriting. Arguments have been made about the purity of "Liberation" compared to "Beyond...May 9, 2010

Path of Fire
It sounds like a Polish death metal band (let's say BEHEMOTH) modeling its sound after a USDM style reminiscent of CANNIBAL CORPSE and MORBID ANGEL, yet performed by Swedish musicians. That would be AEON and if that description makes the band sound awfully goddamned heavy that's because they are awf...May 9, 2010

Evil Power
You can always count on LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR to kick it old school, kick pretense to the curb, and kick out the motherfuckin' jams. They've done it consistently over the course of three excellent albums of barbarian metal — "Carnage", "The Ultimate Destroyer", and "War Metal Battle Master" (all on S...May 9, 2010

The result is...May 9, 2010

Diamonds
No sophomore jinx here; "Diamonds" from Swedish champions of old school heavy metal ENFORCER is every bit as good as the "Into the Night" debut. In fact, the more I listen the more I think it might even be better. We'll see what the passage of time brings in terms of the album's long term ...May 9, 2010

When all Becomes None
Aren't you just a little surprised that nobody else had snagged the COFFINWORM moniker for their own hate-fueled metal band? Or maybe somebody has and we just haven't heard about it. Even if that were in fact the case, I can state without equivocation that the name is most appropriate here consideri...May 9, 2010

The Flames of the End
If you've done any amount of reading or writing reviews of albums by bands playing a style influenced by the Gothenburg sound, then it is virtually impossible that some reference to AT THE GATES wasn't involved. Personally, I know for a fact that I've referenced AT THE GATES over 800,000 times, and...May 9, 2010
