AD PATRES Debuts single “Spellbound” from upcoming album

Death metal newcomers AD PATRES have released a lyric video for the track “Spellbound” from their upcoming album “A Brief Introduction To Human Experiments”.  Its a great mix of classic death metal with some technical virtuosity, and plenty of brutality.  It doesn’t have some of the repetitive nature of brutal […]

Human Delusion- Depravity

Human Delusion have released their Melodic Death Metal opus “Depravity” a few weeks ago and it’s a pretty solid debut.  The guys rebranded under thew new name who were previously known as Primal Scream Therapy.  What I like is the band’s diversity to stick away from the norm of […]

Structural- Metacognition

Holy crap do I have a serious treat for you all courtesy of Melodic Technical Death Metal virtuosos Structural! I really dig the band’s sound because (unless you’re Arsis or Inferi) it’s awfully tough to add solid melody when you’re a technical death metal band……and Structural have achieved just that.  Shani and […]

Tortoise Forest Debut Album

Instrumental Progressive Jam Band Tortoise Forest released their debut album this past Saturday January 12th at their show at the Mohawk Place in Buffalo.  I was lucky enough to receive the album on release day to help the band promote, and I jumped at the opportunity! With tons of repetitive […]

Alibi For A Murder- Pieces

  Alibil For A Murder are coming fresh out of the gate with their wildly heavy and technical full length album “Pieces”.  The guys are out of Germany who melt faces for a living.  AFAM is wildly energetic, consistent and killer.  There are some progressive moments here and there, […]

A Novelist- Folie

Progressive Death Metal duo A Novelist is dropping their second album on February 8th and we have our opinion on the upcoming album, as well as an interview! The guys have put out a unique and unusual album….much more weirder than what can be expected out of progressive bands. […]

Thrailkill- Everything That Is You

Thrailkill is a sweet instrumental progressive metal band that released this album “Everything That Is You” last year.  After giving it a decent ear, I really dig this band even more.  They’re not your typical instrumental metal band…..there’s much. much more to them than they lead on.  The band […]

Jason Rodriguez- HeartStrings

Jason Rodriguez is a melodic progressive metal instrumentalist who released a stellar album last year titled “HeartStrings”.  He is not of the norm for an instrumentalist….sure he’s a great guitar player but he’s not a “show off” if you know what I mean.  He’s written an album based […]
