Turning Virtue- Beautiful

One of Buffalo’s best kept secrets prog rockers Turning Virtue is releasing their landmark album “Beautiful” tomorrow September 4th.  The band came back onto the local music scene with a vengeance with “A Temporary Human Experience” in 2016.  There were previous incarnations in the 1990’s and ATHE was the band’s […]

Cytotoxin- Nuklearth

Cytotoxin is prepared to release their fourth devastating release “Nuklearth” upon us in a few days on August 21st.  Some people love them, some don’t and that’s expected.  Not everyone can get into every band or understands their radioactive and gas mask “gimmick” (if that’s what you want to […]

Catalysis- Connection Lost

Not a lot of modern heavy metal catches my ears, but Catalysis did when they released their Self Titled EP last year.  After an impressive debut, I’ve been keeping tabs on the band and voila they are promoting a new release!  “Connection Lost” is out tomorrow July 24th and it’s quite a […]

Ahtme- Mephitic

Kansas City buds Ahtme are releasing their sophomore album “Mephitic” this Friday July 24th.  Not only are they one of the most under appreciated bands right now, they’re equally as nice guys as well.  I was hooked on the moment I was able to check out “Sewerborn” which was their first album […]

Defeated Sanity- The Sanguinary Impetus

Brutal Death Metal/Slam/Tech legends Defeated Sanity have graced their brutal presence again with their upcoming release “The Sanguinary Impetus” out on July 24th on Willowtip Records.  One big change this time around is drummer Lille Gruber did the guitars for the album and well it definitely influenced the album in […]

Imperial Triumphant- Alphaville

One of my favorite bands in the avant-garde/experimental metal scene Imperial Triumphant is releasing their album “Alphaville” later this month on July 31st.  Somehow, someway I was able to get my grimy hands on this gloriously unusual piece of music by the New York trio.  The older I get, the […]

Visions Of Disfigurement- Aeons Of Misery

Visions Of Disfigurment is releasing their massive slamming sophomore album “Aeons Of Misery” tomorrow June 8th.  This newer band has a lot to prove and boy did they blow my expectations away.  It’s leaps and bounds better than the 2016 debut “Abhorrent Extinction” which was my introduction to the […]

Aronious- Perspicacity

Aronious is releasing their Artisan Era debut album “Perspicacity” today and it’s quite a monster.  It’s more melodic and symphonic than a good amount of technical death metal, and quite honestly…..actually has lots of groove.  Lots of bands in the genre seem to outdo each other but Aronious is […]
