News, Reviews and Interviews
Heavy Metal Around the Globe
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.
De Profundis – The Blinding Light of Faith
Hayduke – It took slightly over ten seconds for me to fall in love with this album.
The Great Mackintosh – Yep, two point eight seconds from the minute it opens, you are fucked.
Wake – Misery Rites
The entire dissonant nightmare is coming at you from all sides, all at once. And then they slow down, light you on fire, and watch you burn.
Niboowin – Breathing
Niboowin are a fledgling project, but their roots in other projects show through in their immediate excellence on this their first release.
Nigredo – Flesh Torn – Spirit Pierced
Spirit Pierced is fierce beyond measure. You wouldn’t want to meet this album in a dark alley….
Ondt Blod – Natur
The only thing holding me back from singing along with every single song is a lack of knowledge of the language.
Entransient – The Weight of Things
Monster riffs, sing along choruses, head bobbing time changes, and super tight grooves
Harakiri For The Sky – Arson
Pure gold doesn’t come directly from the ground. The stuff that is mined needs to be heated at very high temperatures to separate it from the dross.
