Entity
Their numbers reduced to three (for recording purposes at least) tech-death phenoms, ORIGIN, have just upped their status to genre torch-bearers with the release of "Entity". For lack of a better term, this disc is flat out un-fucking-believable. When drummer John Longstreth, guitarist Paul Ryan and...June 21, 2011

March of the Norse
Have you always wondered what an IMMORTAL album might sound like if the jagged edges were smoothed out, one tempo was ridden for the duration, and arrangement variation was strictly limited?

Whereas 2008's "Conqueror" and 2009's "Hymns of Blood and Thunder" pushed the doom envelope into traditional heavy metal terr...June 20, 2011

Edge of the Earth
This was a tough one to swallow whole, considering the promise showed on SYLOSIS' debut album "Conclusion of an Age" and the accompanying praised afforded it. Like many others, I had high expectations for the sophomore release and while "Edge of the Earth" shows moments of pure brilliance there are...June 20, 2011
Review
The Cold Testament
In a fashion typifying the average band's progression from one release to the next, someone that didn't know any better might assume that the more atmospheric/expansive, keyboard-effected "Horoskopus" was released after the more direct form of blackened death metal on "The Cold Testament". But BOOK...June 20, 2011
