The third release from Dissentient is technical, broad, complicated and beautiful. And this record is HEAVY. If this current collection is representative of their past work I have been seriously missing out. This record scratches so many musical i…
Some people hear voices in their heads. For Trevor William Church, I believe life, books, movies, all implant songs in his head. Between his bands Haunt and Beastmaker, he puts albums out almost every 6 months. Each time the quality improves and the…
Drain is young, not dumb, but full of a shit ton of BLECH! Holy shit, are these guys taking the world by storm with Living Proof. Mostly #hardcore, but also another part #crossoverthrash, these Santa Cruz destroyers are here to stay.Sammy Cia…
I was searching some music and stumbled upon this band. Oak Pantheon is for real and honestly a mysterious gem. The Absence, most recent album delivers in all fashions. The dynamic in this band is impressive. I love the fact they incorporate metal, …
Enforced is a manufacturer of fist punching riffs. As babies (At The Walls) they beat their parents. As teenagers (Killgrip), they pummeled their pansy ass classmates. As adults, they unleashed War Remains and they are kicking the door in to take ov…
The opening title track on Frostbitt’s 2023 release MACHINE DESTROY comes at you like a lumbering armored truck outfitted with a chain gun. Powerful and steadily frantic, it sets the tone for the album.There’s a metric shit ton of talent…
I have to say this before I write this review. I love Power Trip. Whenever I introduced Power Trip to friends, I said they are “modern Metallica at their Master of Puppets phase!”What I meant was, the best was yet to come before Riley Ga…
Check out the single “Everything” from upcoming Album “Truth Killer” by Sevendust. 7/28 is the release of Album as I can’t wait for new material from these guys. Hope you like the single as much as I do. Good sign for…
There are few things I like more then the words rowdy and noisy. Both are operative with Geld.With Currency I hear a combo of Power Trip meets Converge. Riffy, noisey, raw! This track rumbles at a frantic pace. No Al Smith other then a stank belch a…
Our good friend @dfrost.jpg turned us onto Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol and damn are we glad he did.Occasionally you happen across new music that turns your wheels. Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol 2022 release Doom Wop not o…
For those of you into progressive metal who don’t know Carbomb, you absolutely should. They’re doing things musically that are so progressive and out there they should probably be illegal. Since 2002 the band has been taking heavy music …
Every now and then you stumble on a good find and Saint Karloff is just that. Paleolithic War CrImes, the 3rd Album by this band is outstanding. The Band from Norway hammers out 7 solid tracks. This is an old school hard rock album with tones of Sab…
Being from NJ myself it’s always a pleasure to highlight a Jersey Band. This long awaited album (4 years to be exact) is outstanding. I absolutely LOVE this album. The waiting was worth it as this powerful trio comes out swinging. This great u…
If you have not heard of Scowl, then your head is most likely square up your ass. Here is the story. Scowl was a hardcore band that evolved musically and has an absolute future star in Kat Moss fronting the band. Kat is one my favorite young vocal…
Founded in 2010 out of Austin’s electronic scene by vocalist / bassist Amber Star-Goers, producer / keyboardist Adam Jones, and Justin Star-Goers, these Darkwave mutilators shorten the space between dark wave and doom metal.Victim kicks the al…
Lucifuge - Monoliths of Wrath is an ode to another time when barbarians dominated the earth…..like….say in the 1980’s! Ok that is a lie, but that is how this record sounds.Prepare for early Slayer, minus Araya’s occasional …
Mur.Doc 104 brings four tracks of brutal thrash straight from the Mediterranean with their 2023 EP The Undying.The first thing that caught my ear was the clean production and solid mix. The galloping opening riff pulled me right into the title track…
There are few things in life that make metal heads happier then dungeons and dragons and #crossoverthrash riffs. Throw in killer #blackmetal vocals and you have Maryland’s Ninth Realm’s- A Fate Unbroken.Each tune on t…
Kenny Hickey (Type O Negative), Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down), Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative & 100 other bands), and Todd Strange (Crowbar, Down) created a song in three days recently. Considering the members, you would think this would be a do…
