Traitors' Gate
Australia is a veritable breeding ground for blackened thrash and war metal, and Hells Headbangers' recruits heavily in that area of the world, more often than not sniffing out the best the land down under has to offer. Sydney's SHACKLES is the most recent signing to the widely respected label. The...April 13, 2009

He Who Shall Not Bleed
This'll be a short one, not only because this U.S. release of DIMENSION ZERO's third album is way after everyone else has already been to the party, but because DIMENSION ZERO does one thing and does it well — they play textbook Swedish thrash.
