Brutal Tech supergroup Eschaton is our June 2025 band of the month. The newest album “Techtalitarian” just dropped and surprised me. I didn’t think they were a thing anymore then saw there were a few new members. Mac Smith (ex Krosis, Hammer of Dawn and a slew of […]
Brutal tech giants Ominous Ruin are our May 2025 featured band of the month! In a tech death scene that has gone stale, thin and somehow less heavy….Ominous Ruin has always brought the death metal. Too many bands worry about how many notes per second they play and […]
Sepulchral Curse is our March 2025 band of the month! A truly unique band that blends dissonance and melody into a mesmerizing experience. Usually dissonant, avant garde style death metal bands don’t get super melodic. That’s part of the band’s charm and well being damn heavy. The band […]
Relics Of Humanity are our band of the month for February 2025! This brutal band features half of Ominous Scriptures (no longer functional). It has a classic sound with no modern touches whatsoever. 2019’s “Obscuration” was my personal intro to the band and been clamoring for more since […]
Tech death heathens Fleshbore are our featured band of the month for January 2025! The last release “Embers Gathering” from 2021 is my favorite of theirs. But the guys are coming out with a new album “Painted Paradise” on the 24th. The band recently signed to Transcending Obscurity […]
Closing out 2024 is Carrion Vael, one of the biggest gems you may not know of. My biggest complaint with melodic adjacent death metal is….its not heavy enough. They’re too technical and melodic while losing focus of the heavy, or they’re too brutal with little melody. But man, […]
Progressive metallers Cyborg Octopus are our featured band of the month for October 2024! If you like unusual yet catchy music this band is calling your name. “Learning To Breathe” was my introduction to their kooky ways in 2016 and haven’t looked back since then. They dropped another […]
Buffalo’s own Forever In Transit is our September 2024 band of the month! The brainchild is Dan Sciolino, drum extraordinaire and also is pretty solid on the keyboard too. He’s had this prog project for years and has been trying to find the right pieces to playing out. […]
Melodic tech death shredders Summoning The Lich is our August 2024 band of the month! The band dropped another ferocious album recently “Under The Reviled Throne”. I’ve seen the band live too and they go hard as fuck! The band flawlessly mixes melody, shred and some heavy riffs. […]
Order Of The Dead is our featured Artist of The Month for June 2024! Bands come and go, especially locals. One of Rochester’s strongest, finest and longer tenured bands Order Of The Dead is the total opposite. They’ve been around for years and are more than a talented […]
