Desiderium: An Image of Solitude

Desiderium is made up of the singer of a band Surdus reviewed called Acrasia. (find review here) He was a fan, so I was quite intrigued when that singer Michael Rumple contacted us to review his other project Desiderium. Along with Philip Wentworth these two went in a much different direction than Acrasia and...

Aurora Borealis – Timeline: The Beginning And End Of Everything

What would happen if you took the brain of Stephen Hawking, mixed it in a blender with the screen play for 2001: A Space Odyssey and got metal singer Ron Vento to drink it? Well, for starters you’d probably have a messy kitchen, one nauseated musician and some suspicious police detectives coming around to...

Izegrim: Code of Consequences

Dropping on May 3rd in North America, Izegrim’s Code of Consequences is one of those albums that start on full volume and for some reason even if you turn it down it will work its way back up. Non-stop, in-your-face, brutal, and stressful are some words that easily describe this album, but that’s exactly...

Vomitory: Opus Mortis VIII

I love covering Death Metal bands that have a history. I mean real history. Vomitory formed in the height of the Swedish Death Metal craze: 1989. Relying on influences such as Slayer, Somdom, and Entombed the band became very well known among tape traders and the underground for some demos they put out. With...

Father Horror (www.myspace.com/fatherhorror) is a Death Metal band hailing from Ohio, USA that are “out to crush mislabeled and generic death metal.”  From what I have read and researched they have set out to do this in the following ways: 1. Make a EP called “The Center” that focuses on melting your face off....

Hallows Die to Give Us Content

With a four week waiting period for submissions to be reviewed on our site and many others that just don’t make it, I was quite amazed when a band dropped me an email and stated, “We’re always up for helping supply content for blogs.”  Most bands are degrading themselves to get on the site,...

The Pros and Cons of Old Wainds

Dirty, nasty, brutal, scary, deep, intense, blah, blah, blah.  These are just a small sample of the words I could use to describe these Northern Russia Black Metal trail blazers.  They follow the line of Nordic Black Metal on the album “Where the Snows are Never Gone.”  The album was actually recorded in 1997...

German Metal With Infestus

www.infestus.com will show you the focus and demonic reality of Infestus.  Their extreme brand of metal is not rare in the ever changing landscape of Metal, but certainly needs to be looked at in some manner. The new album “Exist” contains seven tracks of blistering black metal that will rot your soul if you...
