News, Reviews and Interviews
Heavy Metal Around the Globe
Interview with LIK
It’s not like back in the day with Headbangers Ball on Sundays. But this is what we have, so why not make the best of it. Right?
Old Man Wizard – Blame It All On Sorcery
classical inspired medieval themes to pure thrash grooves
Interview with Kaoteon
I’m a big fan of all forms of dark music.
Green Desert Water – Vortex
From start to finish, this album is for those who like to rock hard and ride easy.
Coilguns – Millennials
While I can’t bring any examples to mind, Millennials definitely feels like something I would have heard in the 1990s.
Spock’s Beard – Noise Floor
Spock’s Beard are tight and polished, and they play with a confidence and energy that demonstrate their years of experience and reaffirm their well-earned standing as heroes of modern progressive rock.
Angerot – The Splendid Iniquity
Right from the first lead-in instrumental track, this album brings the classic Swedish death metal sound.
Micawber – Beyond the Reach of Flame
Break out your air guitar and neckbrace because you’ll fuckin’ need it.
Toundra – Vortex
The album starts off strong and finishes even stronger. It is energetic without being exhaustive.
Interview with Body Void
Our music might sound pretty mad but we’re actually pretty chill!
Interview with The Abscence
We play Melodic Death Metal, with a dual emphasis on the melodies, as well as the Death Metal!!!!
Interview with Stortregn
We have been exploring odd timings with this album, but not in the prog metal sense of it. Our songs remain direct and straight to the point, so you can always headbang to them.
Piss River – Piss River
serious old school guitar rock with a punk leaning
Ministry at 20 Monroe Live
Get inside the memorable Ministry show at 20 Monroe Live. The show saw the legendary Ministry bring their politically charged industrial metal to Grand Rapids with Chelsea Wolfe and The God Bombs.
The Dahmers – Creepiest Creep
dark lyrical content with jubilant melodies
Interview with Svederna
The aesthetics of Svederna combines classic metal imagery with that of nature and violence.
Pharaoh Overlord – Zero
It’s like being on a psychedelic without needing to take a thing
Speedclaw – Beast in the Mist
everything you would expect and does it flawlessly
Hypnos – The GBG Sessions
let us bask in all its vintage magnificence.
Wrekmeister Harmonies – The Alone Rush
As a listener, I find that the album takes me to dark spaces within myself, but in a way that allows for honest confrontation and self reflection.
Interview with Towards Atlantic Lights
I certainly do think there is a healthy underground metal scene out there with the right attitude
Fedrespor – Tid
Many of the songs found on this album are delicate, light, and dreamlike, but the feelings they evoke go much deeper than that.
Stortregn – Emptiness Fills The Void
I like traditional heavy metal mixed with black metal and I like black metal mixed with death metal, but it’s a rare thing to mix all three successfully.
Et Moriemur – Epigrammata
Et Moriemur have created an immense album. In the manner of the old masters.
