With three full lengths and an EP under their belt, German death metal project Phobiatic are almost ready to release another. Founded in 2008, Phobiatic boats members of other projects like Warfield Within, I Despise, and Fake Idyll. The death is strong with these other projects as well. […]
Amidst the sea of generic, run of the mill promotional crusades, The Ritual Aura‘s Levi Dale has devised a rather interactive game of sorts in anticipation for the band’s third album, Velothi. Curious as I was, Levi was kind enough to let me pick his brain about the […]
Tech Death shredders Continuum have just released a single “Release From Flesh And Blood” from their upcoming album “Designed Obsolescence”. It’s a shredder, for sure. A huge addition I believe in the band is adding Inanimate Existence drummer Ron Casey to the throne, who I think stands out big in […]
Blood and Thunder (inspiration from Mastodon, I’m going to ignorantly assume who I love) is a killer melodic death metal band who released their latest EP this past November “The Necromancers Cantos”. Blood thirsty bears, naked women with green hair…..pretty gnarly right? Time to focus on the music, […]
And what a massacre it was! Man, the last time I saw Bug Jar that packed, it was 1349! It was awesome walking into a packed bar, supporting a local metal lineup. Initially, I was unsure about the turnout, but I was wrong in ever doubting Rochester to […]
Again, I’m gonna weird y’all out but my bacon loving heart is growing larger and larger for our asian metal brothers. This time, this band isn’t from Indonesia for a change. Dante’s Theory shreds in Singapore, and hot damn. They’re very energetic and entertaining. It’s not too modern for me […]
For fans of First Fragment, Beyond Creation, Inferi, The Zenith Passage Almost a year after releasing their first EP, Raleigh based tech quintet Septicemic will be releasing a new single on the first day of 2019. However, lead guitarist Josh DelVendo was kind enough to allow me an […]
Earlier this year I wrote a brief list of some of my favourite releases of the first half of 2018. Primarily because I knew how many more incredible releases were to come, and I knew that if I didn’t mention at least a few of the earlier ones, […]
It was the late 2000s, I was still relatively new to metal, and I hadn’t yet found my niche. Sure, bands like Shadows Fall and Lamb of God were cool, but they weren’t quite what I was looking for. Not that I even knew what I was looking […]
Progressive/Technical Death Metallers Diagoras recently released their EP “Enigma” October 5th. It’s a very groovy and technical when it has to be. Lots of great tech bands pride themselves in the such, and can understand why some people shy away from these weird sub genres. Diagoras though crafts […]
