Virial is releasing their sophomore album “Transhumanism” this Friday September 24th and this was my first introduction to the band. Wow, what a treat my ears where in for…..and what an album! What can I honestly say? Virial really brings the heat on “Transhumanism” with precise, melodic guitar […]
Melodic technical death metal up and comers Inferi released their most melodic, mature and impressive release in their short existence this past Friday September 10th. “Revenant” from 2018 is still a huge banger for me and I fell in love with last year’s EP “Of Sunless Realms”. I […]
One new band that has tickled my fancy is the chaotic, melodic technicality of Mortem Obscuram. Primarily composed by guitarist Dale Urban, they blend the melodic side of tech death with a little bit of the heavily layered orchestral sections to enhance said melodies. Why do I enjoy […]
The Odious Construct have released some new material with their latest blazing single “Throne Of Misanthropy”. Now, the guys have partnered with us to showcase the world their guitar prowess with the same song on this wonderful playthrough. In my honest opinion they have been one of the dark […]

Technical Death Metal masters Arkaik have not only released a wildly nutty song….but have a new album due out next year AND signed to the ever growing Artisan Era record label. They’ve made some great acquisitions as far as some awesome underground bands….but to recruit a modern day great […]
Eastbreath Records have done it again! One of their latest additions Horus have two songs and are premiering their first song “The Seth Inside”. As expected from my friends its technical death metal, as that’s what the label generally promotes. But this band is slightly different….it has more neoclassical […]
My buddy Victor of In Asymmetry has recorded a great play through of “Edge Of Divergence”. It’s a serious treat for you guitar wielders out there, with his wild technique and style that’ll woo you for days on end. The band is working on even more new music for a […]
The metal community is always keen to talk about emerging “super groups”, but frequently pass over Equipoise, comprised of some of the underground’s technical elite. By the grace of the metal gods, mastermind Nick Padovani (Virulent Depravity, Kossuth) has managed to recruit a league of truly extraordinary gentlemen; […]
