Some metal genres are quickly associated with a country, and even though you can find representatives for each one all over the world, certain styles will bring a “Oh, these guys are surely from…” to the music lover’s mind. Musically seen, Aether Realm could easily be found in the mountains of Finland, but the four piece band is heading from North Carolina. […]
In conjunction with the announcement of the release details for their upcoming album “Dealing With Demons I”, US groove / melodic death metallers DEVILDRIVER unleashed the first song “Keep Away From Me”, alongside with a new lyric video. It was directed by Vicente Cordero and is a thought-provoking time capsule, that paints a picture of positivity at its end: […]
With the release of their third album “Veil of Imagination” in November 2019, WILDERUN got a lot of well deserved attention in the metal community. An album as mesmerizing as its beautiful cover artwork (by Adrian Cox), an emotional and whimsical odyssey through landscapes of earth and mind. […]
LUNARSEA caught my attention a few months ago with the release of Earthling / Terrestre. Got curious by the cover artwork back then, and the first spins brought the album straight to my collection, as the mix of harsh and clean vocals, power-prog riffs and technically amazing musicianship make it a great listen. […]
Do you miss going to live shows currently? I definitely do. The world has turned upside down in just a few weeks, the effects can be felt in all parts of our lives. But these crazy times can bring new, maybe (in first sight) unusual opportunities as well. […]
2020 has been a very rough year for just about everyone, but for what it’s worth, we’ve seen some absolutely stellar tunes this year to get us through it. The new Torchia album is no exception, this absolute is an absolute blast all the way through. The Finnish melodic death metal unit is coming out guns blazing on this new record! […]
Do you like overt lyrics about secret society chanted over meldo death? Do you like the rhythm elements of Rivers Of Nihil minus the progressive flair? Then say no more, I’ve got you covered with the new God Dethroned. It constantly switches between being really heavy and being a bit limp. At its peak it works these two sides together to make a dramatic record. Not necessarily a very good one. […]
Trauma are a long running band that I have not heard of until now. Within that context, I have to imagine this one isn’t on the discography hit list even among fans but I could certainly be wrong. It’s highly serviceable but didn’t bring anything new. It sounded a lot like The Beast or Revelations era Vader with more of a prog and melo death aspect to it. It will be enjoyed by many but in my opinion it does more to look the part than actually play it convincingly. Even on a technical level it doesn’t feel very creative or like it has room to breathe. […]
An album a decade in the making and carrying influences from across a length of time, making for a pretty unique combination of melodic death metal and technical death metal, though with a blackened touch. The riffs on this one are addictive and varied but never without a sense of outlandish melody. This one will absolutely slap your ears about and demand many listens. Emergence comes out on the 10th of April. […]
Eternal Storm made one hell of a splash in 2019 with “Come The Tide”, a sophisticated album that made its way into many end of year lists including my own. I still listen to it every week and cannot recommend it enough. It’s cumulative of it’s inspirations while also maintaining its own identity throughout. There’s a strong sense of voice across this album matched by strong musicianship and song writing. Essential listening for fans of Swallow The Sun, Opeth, Amorphis or anything good that has the duality of melody and death growls. […]
