Thanks to the mighty Gear Gods for posting a bass playthrough of one of Crevassian’s songs, and because of that I have yet discovered another nutty band. The chaps are an instrumental metal band with a modern sound to their wide and glorious sound. Yes, they djent and ride […]
Unbowed is a blackened death metal band that supported First Fragment on their recent Fall/Early Winter tour across Canada and wow did I really enjoy them. The band released their latest album “Through Endless Tides” last year in 2017. They are a no nonsense extreme metal band, with […]
Rise To Fall recently released their album “Into Zero”. The melodic death metal lads have slightly modernized the metal sub genre that originated out of Sweden (and quickly spread to many neighboring countries). There’s lots of catchy choruses, great melodies and some pretty great guitar melodies that accompany […]
Mind’s Doors recently released their progressive melodic rock opus “The Edge Of The World” and it really shreds. It’s a true prog a thon, with some long tracks and mind blowing compositions. There are lots of great keyboard parts that bring out their melodic parts more and […]
Aonomos is a great groove metal band with some death metal influences here and there from Edinburgh. “The Cult Of Pandora” is coming out December 3rd, with the band playing a release show on November 24th right before it’s release day. If you like a little Mastodon technicality […]
Indian Prog Rockers Rainburn have recently put out their album “Insignify” November 7th. I love the melody Rainburn brings to the table. Their sound is refreshing because there are some cool technical parts, and some laid back ones that remind me of the prog masters Porcupine Tree. Rainburn […]
Grant The Sun is an Instrumental Prog/Math metal band out of Norway that is releasing its second EP “Simmar Ur Bild” this Friday November 30th. The four song EP was a groovy, wild rhythmic display of musicianship with some sweet melodic guitar leads here and there. Think […]
Melodic Death Metal band Vane is releasing their debut album November 30th, inspired by pirates……yeah, melodic death metal influenced by PIRATES. I was skeptical at first, debated even checking it out then listened to the music and damn did they knock the socks off my hairy feet. […]
French Melodic Thrash/Death Metal band Evilness released their first full length album “New Perspectives, No Evolution” earlier this year in June. The guys somehow managed to snag Eric Forrest (E-force, Ex Voivod) to make a guest appearance on the track “Amok”. It’s an energetic and occasional technical release […]
SomewhereOut is a psychedelic progressive rock project by Raul who had guest vocalists on his 5 song EP. It was released earlier this month on November 2nd. It is kind of metal and djent at points. It was a fun listen for me because it’s good to […]
