Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Derhead – The Gray Zone Phobia
Be prepared to have your hackles raised, to look often over your shoulder at illusory suggestions of danger, to walk in a mounting sense of unease.
A Heavy Trip Down Memory Lane with Static-X
Grand Rapids showed up for their stop on the Rise Of The Machine Tour! Cultus Black, Dope, Fear Factory, and with Xero replacing the late Wayne Static as frontman, Static-X played to a sold out main room at The Intersection. A standing room show on a Tuesday night...
Project: Roenwolfe – Project: Roenwolfe
The album has incredible staying power, both in terms of earworm riffs that stay with me throughout the day, and the urge to listen repeatedly, even back to back.
Fogweaver – Magelight
Magelight is an embrace of gentle magic.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Atemporal – The Great Warding
Not only are the riffs sharp and interesting, but they are often incredibly strange, coming out of left field, but fitting incredibly well in the fabric of the album.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE
The track is both grief stricken and rage filled at the horrors of humankind. It’s an absolute gut punch, full of the darkness of the decay of modern society.
Prognan – Naši životi više ne postoje
Prognan’s “Naši životi više ne postoje” delivers a fantastic mixture of harrowing wartorn black metal with cinematic folky grandeur.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Ignominy – Visceral
Their patient building of terrifying atmosphere set them apart from contemporaries and make them well worth thirty-five minutes of your time.
Allfather – A Violent Truth
These six tracks hit much like the sledgehammer in the hands of the Punisher in season 2 of that show – violently and repeatedly, with devastating effect.
Nhomme – 種の過音
For something so off kilter, the three tracks are incredibly fluid, with a subtle beauty.
