EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Confused – Get Wasted
Get Wasted thrashes hard, the way crossover is supposed to, with a ton of hardcore punk attitude and energy.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: NIL – The War Inside
Intentionally or not, the bands expose the ugly collective psyche of humanity, then spit on it with all the bile they can muster.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Archangel A.D. – Beacons
…the Texas quintet do so in a slow burn thrash track that is reminiscent of the classic thrash I grew up on, in terms of grit and delivery.
TRACK STREAM: Arcane Existence – Conclave
Taking full advantage of the strengths offered by each member, the band have spawned a dark, bombastic creation, rich with feeling, and full of twists and turns.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Deep Cross/Khost
My hope is that more modern industrial will once again find the harrowing, ominous soul of the genre, as these two projects clearly have.
EXCLUSIVE ALBUM STREAM: Nameless Mist – Nameless Mist
It’s the type of album that can be hard to write about objectively, because it’s really more about how it grabs me and about how it makes me feel, than it is about particular riffs, rhythms, or anything else.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Dødsferd – Back to my Homeland…my last Breath…
They are a raging alarm call of black metal might, in which Wrath shows himself to be at the height of his powers, even after all of these years and all of these releases.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Mule Skinner – Mule Bomb/Grenadiers
There is nothing soft about either track, though there is plenty of skill displayed in the mauling they give us.
FULL ALBUM STREAM: Deathvoid – Semaphore
This demo is a truly excellent example of creating meaning and emotion within objectively difficult music.
TRACK STREAM: Jenn Taiga – King of Swords
Eerie, beautiful, powerful, meditative…all of these are appropriate descriptors for this spacey third track on Lunar Nocturnes and Esoteric Incantations.
