Disciple of the Heinous Path

Far from any reinvention of the wheel, SARGEIST's "Disciple of the Heinous Path" is a good example of well-written, old school, Norwegian-inspired black metal that just happens to be played by Finns.

Give Me the Fear

Produced by the same guy who brought you THE DARKNESS, and already hyped to the rafters by the ever-fickle U.K. press, London denimboys TOKYO DRAGONS are yet another band pulling the mirrored shades, leather vests, and moustaches so ironic they hurt, all in the name of "real rock and roll". The thin...

The Silencer

The usually reliable Cruz Del Sur label (SLOUGH FEG, ENSOPH, HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE) slips a little here, releasing this overcooked slab of bloated, second-tier Eurometal. This Italian band (fronted by German vocalist Björn Goosses, ex-NIGHT IN GALES — remember any of their songs? Me either) straddle...

Credit Where Credit Is Due

The Unborn

Musical depth is in abundance on "The Unborn", the second album from Finland's MORS PRINCIPIUM EST.
