Omegon

Here we go again, hurtling into the vortex, feverishly anticipating another savage beating at the bloody hand of infernal astrophysics. Even in the overpopulated flesh-pile of the international death metal scene, WORMED were always destined to stand out. Over 25 years and a handful of acclaimed rele...

Fueled By Fear

Eternally damned and relentlessly filthy, blackened thrash is metal at its purest and most unapologetic. WRAITH have been experts at it since their debut, self-titled EP, which crawled into underground ears back in 2017. Now, after three increasingly impressive studio albums, the Indiana quartet see...

The Formless Fires

The brainchild of Swedish multi-instrumentalist Jacob Björnfot, KVAEN earned themselves a formidable underground reputation with their two previous albums, "The Funeral Pyre" (2020) and particularly "The Great Below" (2022),&nbsp which was sufficiently buzz-worthy to lure Metal Blade Records into th...

Review

Massive Incineration

A strong track record counts for a lot in underground metal, particularly when a band disappears for over a decade. VOMIT THE SOUL could easily have been just another footnote in the never-ending history of brutal death metal, but their 2005 debut album "Portraits Of Inhuman Abominations" was suffic...

METAL ALLEGIANCE Feat. ELLEFSON, PORTNOY, SKOLNICK: East Coast 10th-Anniversary Show Announced

METAL ALLEGIANCE began as a celebration of heavy metal, powered by the almost tribal bond shared between the extreme music community's most revered trailblazers, armed with a list of contributors onstage (and off) that read like a Wikipedia entry on the genre itself. On September 6, 2024, METAL ALLE...

Challenge The Wind

However we choose to slice it, RHAPSODY OF FIRE are power metal heavyweights.

Nocturnal Will

We all know it when we feel it: that euphoric rush that accompanies the arrival of a truly special heavy metal record into your life. Even in these jaded, desensitized and idiotic times, the very best heavy music can cut through the noise like a laser through dogshit. The fourth album from Sweden's...

Defectum Omnium

Five years on from "Mourn the Southern Skies", EXHORDER are in no mood for chasing heritage status. An album that built upon the Louisiana band's pioneering legacy, "Mourn…" was joyously received and showered with critical plaudits that finally gifted them a momentum that was never quite secured bac...

The Mandrake Project

26 years ago, Bruce Dickinson released one of the greatest metal albums of the '90s. It was called "The Chemical Wedding", and it was seriously fucking heavy. Sandwiched between 1997's similarly monstrous "Accident Of Birth" and 2005's diverse and dynamic "Tyranny Of Souls", the IRON MAIDEN frontman...
