German technical death metal band Orphalis is our Jun 2023 Featured Artist Of The Month! I have honestly soured on the genre (even is the website name to boot) and is too stale for me when it comes to extreme metal. But, Orphalise is a breath of fresh […]
Death metal band Olkoth is premiering their upcoming release “At The Eye Of Chaos” with us today coming out officially this Friday May 26th. Blackened death metal can be very hit or miss for me and Olkoth does it superbly, as you can check out in the video […]
Instrumental progressive metal band Phaeton is showcasing their full band playthrough of the song “Terra Australis” from their recently released album “”Between Two Worlds”. It’s a really cool track to say the least. Instrumental bands are a hard hit or miss, not much in between really (for me […]
I have a nice playthrough dropping today from Demonstealer’s title track from his latest beastly effort “The Propaganda Machine”. The bassist on this song Stian Gunderson (Blood Red Throne, You Suffer, Son Of A Shotgun) takes you to school on this track. Demonstealer talks about the newly released […]
Death metal band Ascended Dead is releasing their sophomore album “Evenfall Of The Apocalypse” May 12th on 20 Buck Spin.

Extreme Metal veterans Cattle Decapitation are releasing their highly anticipated album “Terrasite” this Friday May 12th.

Yes, Travis is still doing […]
Newly signed Artisan Era band Distention have dropped another single from their upcoming album. Blight is about depression and suicide. It’s a serious problem and unfortunately many of us in this world deal with it. These songs hit hard with me as a person and as a musician […]
Nightmarer is releasing their second full length “Deformity Adrift” Friday May 5th under their record label Total Dissonace Worship. I’ve been into this band and been keeping tabs on them for years. They recently added Keith Merrow to their lineup who’s a fantastic guitarist. They released an EP […]
Progressive Metal Band Vintersea is our May 2023 Artist Of The Month! Ironically I just put out an article on their upcoming album “Woven Into Ashes” basically saying its their best effort to date. They’re heavy, melodic, beautiful, moody and adventurous. Great vocals (both sung and growled BTW), […]
Progressive Metal band Vintersea is releasing their third album “Woven Into Ashes” May 5th of this year. I’ve been keeping tabs on this band since the last release “Illuminated” which came out in 2019. They are a heavy, melodic, elegant and atmospheric experience every song brings a new […]
