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...

Melodic death metal has been hugely influential over the last 30 years, arguably more so than any other metallic sub-strain. The impact of those early IN FLAMES, DARK TRANQUILLITY and AT THE GATES records can hardly be overstated at this point, and there are countless examples of bands doing great t...

Bukkake of Souls

True to the nature of French culture and art, the upper crust of their black metal has been bold and ambitious. MÜTIILATION is one of France's most notable bedrock black metal acts, impressive considering the likes of ANTAEUS, BLUT AUS NORD, DEATHSPELL OMEGA and VLAD TEPES. In the wake of MÜTIILATIO...

Repugnant

The brutal death metal scene often seems like an athletics tournament, as bands compete to be the fastest, the heaviest and the nastiest. With two absurdly extreme albums under their bloodstained belts already, NECROTICGOREBEAST belong in the upper echelons of the subgenre's current wave, and while...
