Photo Gallery: Corrosion of Conformity 1-11-18 at The Stache in Grand Rapids
When the show with Black Label Society was postponed due to illness, Corrosion of Conformity played a surprise headlining gig at The Intersection. Their new album ‘No Cross No Crown’ dropped the next day and they graced us with some new songs, the new album on sale (signed too!!) and an amazingly intimate show.
False Flag – False Flag EP
False Flag ring forth from the tiny speakers with a visceral honesty that can be hard to find.
Disintegration – Cruel Slaughter
…these are six minutes well worth your time.
DSKNT – PhSPHR Entropy
The depths of nightmares are plumbed to find the visual template upon which this sonic blasphemy is drawn.
Mammon – Luna de Sangre
Luna de Sangre, released at the tail end of 2017, shows Mammon developing their own sound, staking their own ground.
Beastcraft/Black Altar – Occult Ceremonial Rites/Winds Ov Decay Split
Something wicked this way comes!
Calligram – Askesis
You’ll want to strike that match.
Somali Yacht Club – The Sea
your Chuck Taylors scream for your attention as you sway to the lazy beat
Vinide – Reveal
Mixing operatic vocals, huge synth layers, and face melting guitar shredding
Heikki Hautala & Hyvaet Veljet – Rauha ja harmonia
sparse musical composition and blasts of some of the dirtiest, grittiest guitar riffs east of the Gulf of Bothnia.
Bestialord – Law Of The Burning
The riffs on this release are simply mind blowing, palm muted crunchiness of the kind that gets your head nodding along nicely
Deathmarch – Dismember
Hopefully with such a fierce love of doing what they do more will follow soon.

Eternal Torment – Blind to Reality
Death metal fans, and those interested in new releases should check them out.
Northless – Last Bastion of Cowardice
Though beautiful at points, Last Bastion of Cowardice is never a comfortable listen, nor should it be. That wouldn’t be Northless.
Catapult The Dead – A Universal Emptiness
Rhythm and repetition are used to draw in the listener and then hold them entranced in the journey.
Lihhamon – Doctrine
Lihhamon is a complex machine of destruction.
Batushka – Litourgiya
Litourgiya, in fact, may be my album of the decade.
Torturized – Omnivore
Omnivore becomes something of controlled chaos then, where anything can happen, but only within the cage built for the beast.
