Fallujah is back with a new banger titled “Empyrean” and is well exactly that. The change in vocals is what turned me away from the last album, and after several tries I just couldn’t vibe with “Undying Light”. Shift forward 3 years later in 2022, that happened and […]
French tech death outfit Catalyst dropped a blazing new single earlier this week courtesy of my good friend Austin Weber. The song is titled “To Unleash Thy Heinous Fate” and has become my favorite track from them. It was actually my first experience of them, and then visited […]
They don’t need an introduction, they’re absolutely great. Psycroptic is dropping their mind bending record “Divine Council” this Friday August 5th. Outside of Soreption, Psyroptic has been consistently releasing stellar albums and always improving to say the least. Can you believe it’s already been 2 decades? I absolutely […]
TMR- Tell our followers about the history of your band, for those who aren’t familiar with Illucinus. Back in about ’04 we were a metalcore band called Concealed Damage. One day Petr and Brandon (Concealed Damage) were walking home from school and heard someone playing Laid to Rest […]
Technical death metal’s most underappreciated band Exocrine is releasing another genre bending album this Friday June 17th “The Hybrid Suns”. The previous album “Maelstrom” even included some saxophone besides being heavy and complex. If you’re familiar with the band, you know what you’re getting into. Lots of groove, […]

Finnish brutal death metal band Enragement is releasing their third album this Friday April 29th via Rising Nemesis Records. This is my first exposure to the band and boy is it a treat. They have accomplished something a bit different than your average extreme metal band with “Atrocities”. […]
Tech death genre pushers Arkaik have released a ripping and different single “Wayward Opulence” off of their upcoming album “Labyrinth Of Hungry Ghosts”. To me it’s different because they are scale based riffers guitar wise, and don’t usually use full chords. Right off the bat the introduction introduces […]
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 […]
Hideous Divinity is coming off their recent release of “LV 426” and caught up with vocalist Enrico Di Lorenzo concerning his band and recent EP towards the end of this summer. TMR: How has the reception been on your recent EP “LV 426? Enrico: I’d say good in […]
