Blackbraid III

A radical voice in the US black metal scene, BLACKBRAID founder Jon "Sgah'gahsowáh" Krieger sees everything from a different angle. Across the project's two studio albums to date, he has created a unique world of barren plains and desert suns, inspired by the unfathomable power of the natural world...

Rivers Of Nihil

A little imagination goes a long way. When RIVERS OF NIHIL first emerged from the Pennsylvania shadows, they were immediately praised for their deviant instincts. Progressive death metal takes many forms, but their 2013 debut album, "The Conscious Seed of Light", was clearly a qualitative cut above...

Existentialismus

After six years of nefarious, underground activity, ABDUCTION punctured the broader metal consciousness with their (or, rather, his) fourth album, 2022's "Black Blood". A startling introduction to founder and sole member A|V's singular take on black metal, it was part ruinous blitzkrieg, part psyche...

Cometh The Storm

You may thank whichever implausible deity you favor for the fact that Matt Pike is still alive and still writing riffs. A new HIGH ON FIRE album always brings with it a profound sense of relief. It's okay, folks, they've sent in the professionals. Turn the volume up and prepare for the onslaught. Co...

Spleen & Goad

They may have emerged from a flourishing stoner rock and doom scene back in the mid-'90s, but IRON MONKEY were always more concerned with broken teeth and bloody fists than they were with bong hits. And so it continues, with the second incarnation of a band that have become legendary for the sheer h...

Position | Momentum

If 2020's "The Eye Is The First Circle" was a concise act of scabby-lipped catharsis, "Position | Momentum" is what happens when the waves of vitriol never stop. CALLIGRAM continue to make some of the most vicious, black metal-adjacent music around, and when "Sul Dolore" erupts, it's instantly appar...

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...
