Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Craven Idol – Forked Tongues
No one should ever dare question the might and sheer will of Craven Idol.
Wode – Burn in Many Mirrors
At nearly forty minutes of purposeful chaos spread across six tracks, Wode present a barrier of riffs, blasts, and growls, the breaching of which presents an exceptional payoff.
Hallucination – Hallucination
The label is known for finding the congruence points of excellence and nastiness. The Hallucination demo is both excellent and nasty.
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

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.
Beyond Man – Beyond Man
Raise your glass of whisky or beer to the full moon as the Norwegian Cowboys from Hell finally defile us with their and music.
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.
