Outside The Spiral

The evolution of heavy music has been influenced by all kinds of eccentric and fearless artists, and Kelly Shaefer deserves to be near the top of the list.

All Of This For Nothing

For those who haven't yet had the pleasure, THE CRAWLING are the best bad time you will ever have. Defiantly morbid and perpetually tormented by the very concept of existence, they have established their own uniquely grim strain of death/doom metal across two excellent full-length albums. They also...

Monuments To Absence

The steady evolution of black metal has produced plenty of fascinating music in recent times, much of it within the realms of so-called post-BM: an inventive but occasionally underpowered metallic extremity, dominated by atmospheric layering and melodic haziness. UK stalwarts FEN have consistently b...

Born Under A Mad Sign

It's an exquisite formula that the vast majority of metalheads can get behind. Riffs. Serial Killers. This has been the CHURCH OF MISERY way since 1995. Connoisseurs of this stuff will know what an absolute riff machine bassist Tatsu Mikami is, and "Born Under a Mad Sign" adds another absurd splurge...

Doomsday & Salvation

I can't speak for anybody else, but one of the things I love the most is to listen to a bunch of old Swedes playing old-school death metal. It would seem that plenty of folk are in agreement, too, such is the enduring appeal and influence of the sound that emerged from Stockholm and Gothenburg in th...

Prey

Cooked up during long, locked down months and polished to what sounds like close to perfection, "Prey" is a debut album that oozes class.

Much to the surprise (or disingenuous delight) of many metal media folk who roundly dismissed the genre 20 years ago, deathcore is firmly in the heavy spotlight right now. Perhaps even more pervasive is the dark, gothic allure of symphonic deathcore, wherein the beatdowns and blastbeats from that or...
