FEATURE: Malevich – Trembling and Dowsed EP (plus tour news and an interview)
Michiganders please note that they are at the Regal Beagle in Ann Arbor on May 5th. Sell it out.
Kólga – Black Tides
Just in time for the sunshine and the summer’s warm embrace, we are given an album that will be played a lot during the scorched daze ahead.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Hekseblad – The Taste of Ash
Do not sleep on this one. I’m confident I’ll be talking about it again at the end of the year.
Decibel Magazine Tour Coverage – March 14, 2024
My views on this year’s edition of the Decibel Tour, as experienced in Detroit at the Magic Stick.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Mind Prisoner – 3:33
Bleak. Dark. Hopeless. That is the “3:33 EP.”
EXCLUSIVE ALBUM PREMIERE: Wounds – Ruin
The key point here is that the album is excellent, a brutal example of tech death as it should be, chock full of malevolent soul and spiteful menace.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Nuclear Tomb – Fatal Visions
Prominent bass, nasty riffs, and an overall belligerence do make Fatal Visions a memorable track.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Wounds – The Archfiend’s Apothecary
It is clear that the band has a clear and brutal vision, that they are gifted composers, and that they are talented musicians.
CLASSIC ALBUM REVIEW: Weakling – Dead As Dreams
Truly a masterpiece.
EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM: Engulf – The Dying Planet Weeps
My one complaint is that I wish it were about five minutes longer, but there is something to be said for an album leaving the listener wanting more.
