 There are many folk bands out there, and as you can imagine, more black metal bands that you ever thought. Very few can match those ethnical folk elements with the raw black metal riffs and make the sound something enjoyable to listen to. Negura Bunget is one of those rare cases and the new album [...]

 “Verses Of Perdition” is the debut release of the swiss black metal act AION. This record goes beyond the music its self, it is a spiritual journey through the desert of emotions and pathway that starts with the perdition of the self and ends in unexistence. The ambience is grim and grey, and it aims [...]

 Bands like Powerwolf , that in a space of 10 years are able to record with a 2 year interval a new album full of quality, power and creativity, are really rare these days. So, let’s focus on the new one Blessed and Possessed. The formula is more than known by the fans of the [...]

 If you’re a death metal fan, you know what a name like Nile carries in and what to expect by the time a new album of them comes out. Notice that all your wishes have come true, and the fast brutal sound is once more blasted, and played with the technical mastery that only musicians [...]

 The long waited Long Play of Myrkur – M, finally came out of the darkness. After her first EP, that prepared our senses for a new inspired project that mix a lot ethereal elements with black metal. This one woman band deliver some melodic voices and melodies that came out from the gloomy deeps of [...]

 One of the bands that is raising up faster that your own shadow, just cast another one into the light called Meliora. We could think that the heavier sound could help the band get more ghouls into them but, that might not be necessarily the case when it comes to this band. The stunning melodies [...]

 Celebrating 40 years, Lemmy and company could just launch another best of to rip money out of their fans, but we all know Lemmy and luckly for all of us that was not what he had in mind. 40 years of noise, rock n’roll, thunder and lightning, electricity, a lot of deaf ears, and we [...]

Continental European prog is alive and well and finding new ways and sounds to strive in all so crowded metal scene. While we’re coming to notice some relative minor bands are trying to come out of the overwhelming influence of legends like Dream Theater and Opeth(such as Periphery), The Long Escape is a recognizable good effort for such [...]

After one full length record and two splits, the czech goregrind group Gutalax, a band I’ve been following for a long time, the band have finally release their second album, “Shit Happens”, which I was very curious to listen to. It comes with 16 tracks, and three of them have special guests, full with flatulent [...]

The United States have been providing us with some of the most extreme doom metal of recent years. And FUNERARY is another collective you should catapult directly to the very top of that list. This first full length “Starless Aeon” contains 34 minutes of pure dark energy that will suck your strengths till the very [...]

Well, it’s a tradition. Every new year we eagerly wait for the great comebackers of the season. This has been already a prodigious year in that aspect. On the alternative genre, Blur has presented their reunion album, and on the (also alternative) metal side, was up to Faith No More to perform that task. For [...]

Naïve reminds me a lot of a new wave of Prog-metal that depicted the progressive scene in the early 00’s, to which OSI, Pendulum, Anathema (during their metamorphosis) or mainly Isis were the banner bearers. With a more European approach to it, the toulouseans, march on to their 3rd album with an attitude of resilience. [...]

Muse is probably one of those bands that marked the 21st century, and will be talked for centuries to come. However, Muse’s path to success does not come without its share of controversy, and hard core fans’ deception. Even so, despite the success that made early time band followers displeased, that sort of critics is [...]

inland is not a country much known for its scene Stoner / Sludge. However, this does not mean that, from time to time, something remarkable won’t arise from the underground. Boar is a carefree band from Oulu in central Finland, and presents their second album “Veneficae” released by Lost Pilgrim Records. After the first listening, [...]
