Falling Through Stars

When a plan goes right, stick with it. The first LAURENNE/LOUHIMO album, "The Reckoning", was one of 2021's most refreshing surprises. A collaboration between BATTLE BEAST's Noora Louhimo and her fellow Finn, SMACKBOUND's Netta Laurenne, it brought the best out of both singers and armed the newly fo...

Biographyte

Will there be a moment in the evolution of death metal when the genre becomes too fast, too technical, and far more like brutal automatons competing in an Olympic event than anything resembling rock 'n' roll?

The Ossuary Lens

There are few bands in extreme metal that command as much respect and admiration as ALLEGAEON. Formed by guitarist Greg Burgess in 2008, the Colorado technical/melodic death metal stalwarts have released so many great albums over the years that it almost seems unfair. Fervently progressive but alway...

The Screaming Of The Valkyries

Imperious mavericks in their prime, CRADLE OF FILTH have been on majestic form in recent years.

Limited Deadition

Celestial Death

Back in 2021, CRYPTOSIS released their debut album into the Covid-stricken void. It was a thrilling, multi-faceted statement of intent, where disparate metallic strains were woven together into a frequently bewildering tapestry of icy, futuristic extremity. There was a lot going on, and if circumsta...

Hymns In Dissonance

When it first emerged, deathcore seemed like a fairly simple deal. Death metal plus hardcore equals knucklehead brutality. But as the years have passed, the genre's sharpest blades have carved themselves a deeper, more interesting niche. WHITECHAPEL have been ahead of the game for most of their near...
