Edifice Of Vicissitudes

It may have started with relatively high-profile bands like SUFFOCATION and CRYPTOPSY, but brutal death metal has long since transcended its origins and marched down the left-hand path towards something darker, nastier, more brutal and more gleefully twisted. Over the last couple of decades, a signi...

Highly Irresponsible

For metal fans of a certain disposition, BETTER LOVERS could hardly be more perfect, at least as an idea. A relatively low-key supergroup featuring vocalist Greg Puciato (ex-DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN),&nbsp guitarists Jordan Buckley (ex-EVERY TIME I DIE) and Will Putney (FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY),&nbsp drumme...

Connection Anxiety

As clever as they are deranged, THOTCRIME have come closer than most to producing music that sounds like right now.

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...

Defectum Omnium

Five years on from "Mourn the Southern Skies", EXHORDER are in no mood for chasing heritage status. An album that built upon the Louisiana band's pioneering legacy, "Mourn…" was joyously received and showered with critical plaudits that finally gifted them a momentum that was never quite secured bac...

Harsh Reality

Everyone should remember the first time that music made them want to smash their own bedroom up. If heavy, angry, ugly music has any purpose whatsoever, it is to get the blood pumping and the spirit soaring, even if the means of achieving that singular rush is to fully embrace the dark and horrible...
