Stories Through Storms – What Keeps Me Up At Night (Interview and Review)
Featuring two vocalists, each track switches smoothly between metal screams, melodic verses, and rap choruses creating a sound unlike other metalcore bands.
Dakhma – Suna Kulto
What the band certainly is not, is soft. They have all the intensity of a fully loaded freight train bearing down on you.
Pestilent Age – Novgorod
Two different writers take a crack at this Michigan release. Check it out.
Temptation’s Wings – Skulthor Ebonblade
This epic, doomy, thrashy, stonery, and very Viking sounding band picks up the pace at points on this one. Right off the bat, this album sends you back in time to the battlegrounds, almost inducing marching and preparing you for this epic tale.
Bonesteel – Epitome of Infamy
With a little rap metal style, Bonesteel’s music provides real-life lyrics backed by catchy, powerful hooks.

Power Trip – Nightmare Logic
“Nightmare Logic” wastes no time..[s]ticking to their almost Testament sounding old school roots, and also showcasing their growth and evolution as a band by including a much needed sound in modern metal.
Graves at Sea – The Curse That Is
The complete package is moving and feels rooted in an organic, malevolent intensity.

Check out The Chalice in all of its ritualistic glory below, and then move on and discover the rest of the EP.
Oozing Wound – Whatever Forever
Oozing Wound remain my favorite black mold metal band, their style jokingly dubbed with this genre label during an interview I did with them two years ago. I am, however, determined to make the label stick.
