A Static Lullaby
"Static" defined: "lacking movement, development, or vitality". What about the definition of lullaby? A "song used to lull a child to sleep; cradlesong" (Thank www.dictionary.com for the definitions). Get the picture? There was a time when I could stomach some of the bands playing this brand of suga...October 2, 2006

Subliminal Genocide
It seemed a tad strange to find that the new 71-minute full-length from Malefic's XASTHUR was being released on Hydra Head. That is, until one considers that the lo-fi black metal atmospheres and dread-drenched trance of "Subliminal Genocide" is the kind of expansive, heady, and off-the-beaten path...October 2, 2006

Internal Revolution
It's hard to really fault DIECAST for anything on their enjoyable new long-player. After all, it's flawlessly executed, tight as all hell, without an ounce of superfluous fat or unnecessary diversions. It's a textbook case of studio perfection, diverse in sound, yet so focused on its target that it'...September 24, 2006

Dark Songs of the Prairie
Lonesome winds howl, animals shiver in dank burrows, dust chokes dry river beds… the world of ACROSS TUNDRAS is a bleak, desolate prairie, inhospitable to travelers and as grim in its own way as any snow-choked Scandinavian forest. Somewhere between doom, sludge, the art-ravaged psych crunge of YOB,...September 24, 2006

While it could be argued that they've never been a particularly innovative act, there's something to be said for the songcraft, torturous bits of melody, and...September 18, 2006

Same Shit But Different
It's Swedish thrash and it's hardcore, but it is not metalcore. That's bound to please more than a handful of purists out there.
