Deathwish Has Arrived

Even before hearing a note of their music I was very impressed with these Providence Rhode Island Death Metallers. They sent a very humble email asking for a review and any possible feedback we could provide to them. Along with the email came a download to their EP, bio, pics, and lyrics. As a...

The Black Dahlia Murder: Ritual

What could lowly me possibly say about The Black Dahlia Murder. Other than get on my knees to bow and pay homage to the mighty Metallers I can’t really think of much, so I guess I’m going to focus on the Detroit quintet’s fifth full length album: Ritual. Coming off the massive success of...

Seidr: For Winter Fire

If you think genre identification in the past has been difficult, check out the description of Seidr: post rock influenced black/death/doom for forward thinking fans of contemporary bastardized extreme metal. I don’t have a category for those so were just going to roll with their music and see where it takes us. I guess...

Isolation in Infamy

When Isolation in Infamy sent me over their self-titled EP for review I was quite intrigued because they were a young band that was taking this project very seriously. Andy Nelson (guitar/vocals), Shadi Absi (guitar), Chris Audish (bass), and Mikey Wilson (drums – please be aware there was some confusion on the bands official...

Behemoth: Abyssus Abyssum Invocat

This week I have gotten to write about Voivod and Job for a Cowboy. Just when I thought I might be done with the heavy hitters along comes Behemoth. The legends of Blackened Death Metal are combining the long since sold out EP’s Conjuration (2003) and Slaves Shall Serve (2005). Not only that, they...

Job for a Cowboy: Gloom

I guess an accurate description of Job for a Cowboy would be the dirtiest, filthiest, hardest cored death metal band on the market. It seems like they have been around forever, but in reality they only formed in 2003. It could be the instant success they experienced that would make you think they are...

Crypt Infection: Haruspication

I’m all for some brutal death metal, but when I looked up the meaning of Crypt Infection’s album name Haruspication I knew I was in for something that might go to a different level. The first meaning that popped up on Google was “fortune-telling by reading the entails of deceased animals.” I stated these...

Acephalix: Interminable Night

If you head to www.acephalix.com you will find some very limited information on these San Francisco Metallers. Handing us the album “Interminable Night with limited background and bio only gives us one option when it comes to the Death Metal infused with Crust Punk; listen with a critical ear and see if Acephalix can...

The Mainstream Making of Primordial

Primordial has a back story that I just need to tell you. Many of you know them as they are credited for being one of the founders of the darker side of the Pagan Metal genre. Over the course of their career they have always been critically acclaimed, but never reached the fan base...
