Guitarist Jay Matharu released this mind bending album a couple years ago in October of 2017. He definitely pushed a lot of genre boundaries on his album, blending lots of great sounds. Matharu mixed progressive music, jazz, blues, and I think I even heard some progressions that were influenced from […]
Pennslyvania’s The Inner Urge released this album ironically almost a year ago, on March 25th of 2018. If I actually knew these guys a while ago, I’d have added this to my 2018 best of list. They’re not your typical instrumental band, which is something I think our followers will love. […]
WEK is an instrumental progressive metal project by Kevin Oper. WEK is a totally different beast than other instrumental bands who just shred, and his music is more varied. It’s much more atmospheric and melodic, adding a lot more layers to the songs than most instrumental bands. The speeds […]
Let me get all the stereotypes out of the way for you. I was a latecomer in regards to Ola Englund and The Haunted years ago, I wasn’t there from the beginning of his band. He’s a phenomenal guitarist who’s highly underrated and more diverse than people want to […]
If you’ve been with us for a while or see our description you’d see we do more than prog, tech metal and instrumental music…..I’ll admit I’ve bitten off a lot and generally get a lot of that submitted, let alone through e-mail mailing lists and I apologize….but this […]
Man oh man, did Misery Index put out yet another great extreme metal release. Baltimore’s death/metal grind act will blow your minds, once again. I kinda feel like Misery Index is a great death metal/grind band that is not on enough people’s radars, and gets passed on a lot. These […]
Exactly a year ago I had my first Artist Of The Month Turning Virtue. Their frontman Davey K has been working on an EP, going back to his folk roots for months on end for now. I just got my copy in the mail today, and decided to take a break […]
Well…..what can we say about Consider The Source that hasn’t been said already? To be fair, we only knew of them for a month or so before we caught them at Buffalo Iron Works on February 23rd……yeah, even with all their virtuosity they put on an energetic and jaw dropping […]
Sirius Records band Afterbleeding released their debut EP “Paths Of Decimation” on February 24th and we’re here to bring the low down for you all! One great thing that immediately stood out to me are the great vocals. Consistent gutturals that you can understand are so rare in extreme metal……huge […]
India’s technical death metal grinders Plague Throat released their EP “Evolutionary Impasse” last week on February 20th and it’s a real slammer! The guys have put together a devastating and brutal EP that meshes so well it feels like its over rather quickly. Not that listening to this album multiple times […]
