Glacial Domination
Two observations for you. Firstly, Texas is definitely the epicenter of death metal right now. Secondly, FROZEN SOUL are seriously special. Produced by TRIVIUM's Matt Heafy, and brilliantly so, "Glacial Domination" is the kind of authoritative and substantial album that death metal's new breed absol...May 16, 2023

Born Into The Twisting Rope
It's always good to see people spending their time wisely. INDUSTRIAL PUKE have plainly spent most of their lives listening to ENTOMBED's "Left Hand Path" and DISCHARGE's "Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing" at excruciating volume, and quite conceivably at the same time. That's not to say that t...May 9, 2023

Drifting In The Endless Void
They arrived slightly late to the stoner rock party, but DOZER were obviously the real deal from the start. Their debut album, 2000's "In The Tail Of A Comet" sounded like a perfect encapsulation of everything that made the genre great. Clearly the work of musicians who had spent a good deal of time...April 21, 2023

Untopia
Measuring and comparing levels of heaviness in music is a largely pointless and entirely subjective activity. But sometimes the truth is plain for all to see. The visceral and indecently exciting sound of a giant, concrete block being dropped onto humanity's twitching skull, over and over again for...March 16, 2023

KAMELOT's THOMAS YOUNGBLOOD: 'I've Never Allowed Someone Else To Dictate My Path'
By David E. Gehlke When KAMELOT was shopping for a record deal in the desolate, unforgiving mid-1990s, founding member and guitarist Thomas Youngblood was thinking long term. Rather than signing with a stateside label that may not understand KAMELOT's brand of melodic metal, Youngblood and company h...March 7, 2023

Time Will Take Us All
There is no avoiding it: Navene Koperweis is a seriously talented bastard. ENTHEOS were intriguing from the start, of course; the band's first two albums were exhilarating blasts of super-technical extremity, and vocalist Chaney Crabb was an undeniable force at all times. But in the years since 2017...March 2, 2023

Carcinogenesis
Like a lot of bands, VISCERA had their plans roundly screwed when the pandemic took hold. The UK crew's debut album "Obsidian" was a thrilling bolt from the tech-deathcore blue and deserved to propel them to the forefront of an increasingly potent scene. The unwanted lull that ensued for the next tw...February 28, 2023

This Is Tomorrow
The incestuous nature of the metal underground means that, superficially at least, bands like SIEGE OF POWER are par for the course. The difference between this four-man wrecking crew and hundreds like them is that everyone involved has absolutely impeccable credentials. Best known for several stint...February 15, 2023

Harrowing
Dissonant death metal has produced some astonishing music over the last few years. Groundbreaking efforts by the likes of ULCERATE, GORGUTS, PORTAL and MITOCHONDRION collectively help to forge a new path into the black depths of heaviness, and that same experimental mindset has been conspicuous in o...February 2, 2023
