Servitude

So here we are. It's happening. To clumsily paraphrase Henry Rollins: this is what Trevor Strnad trained you for. This is go time. Battered and bruised from the loss of their fallen frontman, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER never gave even the slightest impression that they might call time on their reign of...

Syv

An obsession with emulating the past has led black metal down some fairly narrow alleyways over the years. Such is the reverence given to the Norwegian scene of the early '90s in particular, that there have not been many bands or artists with the courage to meddle with those original blueprints. Not...

Life Knife Death

Veterans of a Swedish hardcore punk scene that always seems cooler and filthier than the rest, WOLFBRIGADE have always known exactly what they are doing. Over the course of nearly three decades, they have certainly become a less overtly underground concern, and the sonic quality of their face-rippin...

Draconian Darkness

A melodic death metal band with a pagan spirit, WOLFHEART have made steady progress over the last decade. When founder and frontman Tuomas Saukkonen unveiled his new project with debut album "Winterborn" back in 2013, the strength of his musical vision was obvious. This was a subtly new take on a we...

Living Chaos

Deathcore bands come and go. Many of them are great. Some are terrible. Few have the authority of OCEANO. Seven years have passed since the Illinois wreckers last released a studio album, and they still have an enviable reputation as resolute heavyweights. Even in highly fruitful times for this kind...

Wormwitch

A persistent, maverick menace amid a crowded black metal marketplace, WORMWITCH have been one of the most convincingly grim and violent bands of the last decade. All three of the Canadian band's albums to date ("Strike Mortal Soil", "Heaven that Dwells Within" and "Wolf Hex") deserved more attention...

Hálios

Five years after releasing one of the most terrifying debut records in recent memory, Slovakia's CEREMONY OF SILENCE have become even more twisted. There are certainly a few moments on "Hálios" which could, at a push, be described as blackened death metal, or at least some skewed facsimile. But what...
